Should 1st weekend in Dec be hard to get right now... 1st - 4th Fri-Mon
I submitted a request via DVC webpage , do they get back to you quickly???
 
I think you would be able to get Fri and Sat, many DVC'rs just can't part with the higher weekend points :confused3 :confused3 , But I think you will have a problem after that. Good luck pixiedust: pixiedust:
 
we went last year in early Dec. we booked 11 months out then again 7 months out. with about 5 months left i tried to transfer a reservation & the resort i picked was booked. the only rooms theyhad open were at OKW. so at this point you may have a problem. just try to call asap.
 
I'm guessing you will be out of luck for this year. What size unit are you looking for? That is a VERY popular time with DVC owners, so you might have to use a waitlist.
 

In late June last year, when we closed on our 1st resale, no studios were available for Sat thru Wed 1st week of Dec.

We were able to get into home resort WL the next week though.

Seems as though every trip we've burnt points on weekend day (s), still more economical than a 1 BR for us.

good luck.
 
We have had our ressies for Dec. 2-12 since January 13. I did tweak it a bit in March. I tried to call and change the studio to a 1 bedroom for the first night, but it wasn't available, so I'm back to 1 night in a studio, follwed by 5 nights in a 2 bedroom, followed by 5 nights in a 1 bedroom.

Given how difficult it will be to get those dates, I would call MS rather than use email. It is unlikely that your dates are available, but the Fri or Sat might be, so MS will want to ask you if you want to go on the waitlist. I would call MS and I would do it ASAP.

Good luck!

I booked those dates at the BCV at the 11th month mark. Were you able to get the dates you requested?

Thanks for the help....You were right FRI SAT was no problem but the Sunday was. I booked Fri Sat and waitlisted at all DVC Resorts and got a cash ressie at SSR for Sunday.(hopefully waitlist comes thru) Was that the right thing to do???? :confused3

Sounds like a good plan to me - at least you know that you will have a place to stay all 3 nights.

Good luck!
