60 days booking for Memorial Day week checkin

[mommyarewegoingback]

Hi-
I'm quite a newbie at this, and still waiting for ROFR, so I'm trying to plan out our vaca in May. I've already booked cash reservation, in case this doesn't work out. But had a question, if you could help out.

I will have 36 2012 points, 30 borrowed points and 30 holding points for the May trip. I was planning for a studio and wanted to try to stay in 1 location. When we get our membership number, we want to book the 66 points immediately. So the question is would I have a better chance at booking the 30 holding points (60 days out from Memorial Day week) at AKV, OKW or SSR? And would it be easier to use those at the weekend closest to Memorial Day or at the other end of the weekend, further away for Memorial Day?

Sorry if it's a confusing question. Thanks for your help.

-Virginia

At 60 days out you will have a real risk of not being able to get a room for either of those times in May but the resort that is more likely than others to be open is SSR.

We go at Memorial Day every year, and the actual weekend of Memorial day is harder to book than the weekend/week after. Use your regular points for Memorial day, and your holding points later in the week. I think I would plan on a split stay in your case. Book what you really want with the regular points, and what you can get at the 60 day mark with your holding points.

Your next DVC stay can be all in one resort.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, we'll end up with a split stay this time around, but was wondering what were the best probability for it not to be. So I'm gonna plan for SSR. Thanks! Have a great weekend!
