10/24/2025 - Low Availability, What’s going on?

[MeridaMonkey]

I’m prepping for a resort switch at the 7-month mark for a stay at the end of October (10/22/25-10/27/25) and starting tracking what my options were (hoping for a Poly Deluxe Studio) and 10/24/25 seems to be booked out for almost every studio out there (except SSR & OKW), even when the surrounding days are available.

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening that night that would cause that? MNSSHP dates haven’t been released yet, it’s Wine & Dine race weekend but other nights of the race weekend seem to have better availability; is there something I haven’t thought of?

Thanks!!

Totally get the Wine & Dine race weekend (that’s why I’ll be there as well), it’s just strange to me that 10/22, 10/23 and 10/25 seem to have significantly more availability than 10/24.

There is a medical conference at Grand Floridian on 10/24-10/27. Not sure if that would impact DVC though.

Also some cruisers come in just to spend Friday night and get on the ship the next day in Port Canaveral.

Good call, there was a MM event at Animal Kingdom on 10/24/24!

There are no MM events on the calendar past 9/1/25 but the fall MM events weren’t announced until later in the year….not sure I’ve ever seen a MM event scheduled for a Friday, so maybe that date will loosen up

I was also needing a switch to poly for oct 22-26 and suddenly saw the same one night sold out and wondered the same thing. My daughter will be crushed when it spoils her poly plans. Any other time poly has been available when I’ve wanted a seven month switch, so frustrating.

10/24/25 is a Friday - Based on past years, I suspect that many are anticipating a MNSSHP that night.

October Is a HUGE month in ORL. Not just Disney.
Every weekend (really every week) has a dozen events pulling people into the city.

Good call - is MNSSHP just on Friday (and not Saturday)?

I don't recall any of the parties scheduled for a Saturday

I don't recall any of the parties scheduled for a Saturday

None that I could find, looking at last year’s dates….Tuesdays, Thursdays (starting in late September) Fridays, Sundays and I think one Monday (Labor Day) were party days in 2024….no Wednesdays and no Saturdays at all
