Just wondering what people's experience with try to get 2 bedrooms at VGF and BLT during the vacation weeks of April and February at the 7 month reservation window. Thanks.
Depends what part of february. When I asked about this a while ago, availability charts showed 2br at VGF available for part of feb... but during winter break week or princess marathon friday/saturday no. But the rest of february yes.
For almost the entirety of February through April in 2016 and 2017, the VGF dedicated 2BRs, both lake and standard view, were open at 7 months; however, the two bedrooms filled February 23 through 25, 2017, the Princess half marathon weekend, very quickly after 8 a.m. on July 23, 2016. BLT standard view 2BRs were usually a problem throughout the Feb through April period; Theme Park view had issues during holiday and some other times; BLT lake view 2BRs were open except for the Thurs to Sun of the Princess half marathon weekend (which is always the weekend after Presidents Day), which is typically the highest DVC demand time during those three months, and in 2017, it was also missing a day in April during the Star Wars Dark Side race weekend, the second highest DVC demand time during that period.
If looking at holiday time, the Thurs through Sat after Presidents Day would be the time with a risk of being blocked out. The two Easter weeks are likely to be open at VGF and BLT lake view, including because the Stars Wars Dark Side weekend does not occur next year during those weeks.
