booking

Hey everyone! I wanted to share something I built for myself this week that I thought might help some fellow DVC planners out there. I’ve always found it a bit tricky to keep track of the 11-month and 7-month booking windows for Disney Vacation Club trips, so I put together a little web tool to...

We are thinking about purchasing our first DVC contract via resale. We currently have a 6-night cash rack-rate reservation for a 1BR villa at BCV direct from Disney in November 2025. If after we closed on our resale contract, and are live in the DVC system, is it possible to just cancel the cash...

Quick question, wife and I are currently traveling in Europe (from the US) and got the itch to plan our next Disney World trip for later this year. When looking at the official site, it seems as if the on-site hotels would be cheaper if booked from the European site than what we would see on the...

The current summer offer ends on 6th July, which is three weeks earlier than the previous offer (had to book by 27th July last year). Has anyone heard what the follow on offer will be? I think it’s unlikely free dining plan will be offered but just curious what people’s thoughts were on the...

What are my chances of scoring a beach club deluxe studio at the 7 month mark for mid-May for 4-5 nights? Any tips??

Hi! My family has 150 points at Kidani (direct) and 100 points we just purchased resale at Polynesian. We’re planning a trip for March 2023, and decided we wanted to try Riviera. This is my first time booking at a non home resort. I went to book it, but only my Kidani points are showing, and it...

Hey there all, I just wanted to make this post to detail some things regarding the current procedure for getting a booking for the Chef’s Counter experience at Napa Rose - I think all this info should be in one place for those interested in booking it, so you don’t have to search in multiple...

Waitlists can be very useful and actually work when used properly. However, it won't solve everything. For instance, it probably won't help you a lot with the most popular reservations, such as AKV Value and AKV Concierge, and some others. I know people will come on and say they got Jambo...

Called today and no dice. Does anyone have an inside scoop on when we can start booking 2022? Or I’ll even take some speculation. Are DVC members able to book? (Btw I know why I can’t book, so let’s just stick with the can).

Edited: 11/7/13 Well lately I've been seeing a lot of questions being asked about the Grand Californian, and since I will be staying there in March, I thought it would be helpful to make an information super thread about it. So if anyone has any specs on the building, room related...

I'm planning a trip for January of 2022 and I'm considering using a travel agent to help me find the best discount for a room in the art of animation. The thing is I also want to book dvc points in the Grand Floridian for the last two night of my trip as a surprise for my mom who dreams of...

Hi everyone! I am looking for advice on booking at Disneyland Hotel or Grand Californian. I am considering booking a family trip (2 adults, 2 toddlers) in May 2021. I've combed the threads quite a bit, but I didn't see a lot of recent posts that address my specific questions. That said, I'm...

Hi all, My fiance and I have decided we want to spend out honeymoon at Disney World. We want to spend an extended amount of time there, so we can really just relax and do EVERYTHING we always wish we did multiple times, or the things we always miss out on. What is the best way to book this? The...

So I'm hoping to book to go to Disney World in 2020 for the first time, and a solo visit! It'll probably be late Oct - early November, for two weeks, to get in Halloween and Christmas, and possibly the parties. (Unless anyone has any better suggestions of when to go?! I really want to see...

Hello! First time poster but long-time lurker. I am a DLR local, planning a trip for WDW later this year. When I was in Europe a few months ago browsing the WDW booking websites, I noticed that there can be a significant difference between prices in US dollars, British pounds, and Euros. Does...
