The thing to remember is in the future when planning a disney trip, plan for your hotel room early. DVC members can book at their "home resort" (as in the one they bought into ) 11 months out. If you find someone that owns at the resort you want to stay at you can get your room booked 11 months out. The insures you get the one you want. Then any DVC member can book at any resort 6 months out. This also gives people a good chance to book at resorts accept for Epcot area resorts during the food and wine festival because that typically books 8 months out due to its walking distance from Epcot. There are other hotels that book up based on location and time of the year. Once you get into the end of Sept, Oct, Nov Dec. It just gets tough everywhere. There are alot of conferences at Disney and several Holiday Events. Anyways, hope all this helps. I am not telling you this to discourage you but rather to give you some incite into how to book early and get what you want. The other additional thing is most DVC members that rent points 11 months out are typically good about working with the person renting. For instance they will charge you 50% down payment, book your room and then you have til typically 60-90 days before your check in day to pay the remainder of your reservation fee. It just allows you to work on it over time just as if you booked through Disney. Again, you may be able to book directly through Disneys website and find availability you want for this visit you just will be paying full price. Whatever you decide to do remember, you are staying on Walt Disney World property. They do not do anything half way so it will be a first class experience either way. Hope this helps. You can write here or email me if you have any further questions. Sorry about the mix up. SSR and OKW are both available, or were yesterday when I checked. I just only have enough points left to book at OKW. Thanks,
Travis
