7 month availability for Marathon weekend, 2014?

[bobbiwoz]

My family wants to participate. 8 of us would be staying. I would prefer a sleeper chair in a 2 bedroom villa. Is OkW generally available at 7 months out, or should I be safe & book AKV? I would prefer to save my AKV points for a different vacation.

Thanks for your thoughts on the matter.

When is marathon weekend 2014?? My family is planning on going! (I am going to be running!) I didn't think they knew the date yet!!

If you book it right at seven months out, you should be able to get OKW.

This is what I found as far as dates.

We booked at our home resort at 11 months for this years marathon. At 7 months we were able to switch to BLT lake view. VWL was the other option I considered, so I know that was available. I would think OKW would be a pretty safe bet. We are talking marathon 2014 too!

Wow! We got a BLT lake view for that weekend in 2010! I thought it was only because the resort was new.

We all are opting for OKW, so I hope it is available.

Thanks!!!

Maybe we just got lucky. We really enjoyed our first BLT stay, but I've heard you can actually walk to the marathon start line from OKW. That would be sooo convenient if it's true.

OKW was available for the Thursday before to the Monday after the 2013 marathon at 7 months out except for Hospitality House area. The marathon is always the second Sunday in January.
