9 in a room at AKV question?

[mouseclick1]

Has anyone heard if the 2BRs that will sleep 9 will be available immediately, or will they only be in the new buildings that won't be available until 2009?

We will be going in March 2008 (for Easter) and might be maxing out the room at 9 if we can. We are letting our boys bring friends, but I need to know how many they can invite.

All the "non-value" 2BR's will sleep 9 (existing lodge and new building). There will be non-value 2BR lockoffs open in phase 1, from all reports.

"From all reports." That's the problem no hard facts on what type of rooms and capacity have been officially given.

"From all reports" = directly from guides, as well.

There IS, in fact, some information that was taken directly from the DVC member web site (before it was taken down).

Do you own at AKV? If not, Easter might be very hard to get. Even if you do, it will still be difficult.

I'd go with a max of 8 and forget about the 9 for 2008.

Only the value rooms will sleep 8. All others will sleep nine and they will exist in both places, I'm pretty sure. A phone call to MS (on May 16th if you're an owner at AKV, June 6th if not) will get you a definitive answer to your questions regarding both availability and occupancy. Doesn't hurt to ask and hope for the best!

Good luck!

Thanks for the info! Sounds like we will probably be able to get a room for 9, though I guess I won't know for sure for a little while still. We did purchase and add-on there, so I'll definitely be calling at 9:00 a.m. on May 16 to get that Easter reservation!
