Oct + Nov tend to be very popular w/DVC members due to Food + Wine festival, Super Soap weekend, Halloween parties, etc. Your best bet would be to bok at SSR and switch or waitlist for other resorts at the 7 month mark.
There is a chance that you wouldn't get one of the smaller resorts during this time. But, if you had SSR booked, at least you wouldn't be shut out.
Good Luck!
