I posted I get what I want. This is the first year for us to use the 11 month window for when we wanted to go. It was for the first week in Dec and I got what I wanted at 11 months.
At OKW we have always gotten building,non-smoking, 3rd floor, as requested. They have the largest number of villas, of DVC resorts, so that helps a lot.
The only time I didn't get what I wanted was NYE 1999/2000. It ended up better for us anyway. We had a standard 1BR at BWV. I had DVC nights until 12/30, then 2 nights cash (AP discount, still $450(!) per night), then more DVC nights after. Since the 31st and 1st were on the weekend we saved paying expensive weekend points.
