Hi! I was just wondering if any of you call MS to check on availability for a particular size villa room at one or more resorts BEFORE you can actually book the reservation, just to get an idea what your chances might be. We just decided a week or so ago, that we would like to go to WDW July 4th week, which I know is a very busy week(we usually go end of August, but for this summer 06, July 4th is the only week we can go.) DH has to take the vacation weeks that his work gives him and that is the only one for the summer, other than a week when DS will be at Boy Scout camp.
We are interested in trying BCV for that week and I know they will be very crowded, if not already booked. I only have enough (BCV) points for 3 nights in a 1 bedroom, booking NOW before our 7 month window. I do, however, have enough OKW points to book that for 8 nights, which is the length of stay we want. OKW would be our 2nd choice, I believe. However, since we are pretty close to our 7 month point, about 3 weeks away, I feel it would be silly to book OKW now and then try for BCV in 3 weeks, when it will be our 7 month window. If I had known we were going away at this time months ago, I would def. have booked OKW at the 11 month point, to be safe. Does this make sense? I am thinking of just calling MS and seeing if any or how many 1 bedrooms might be available for July 4th week at BCV, at this time. Am I being ridiculous, should I just wait until December when our 7th month window starts and call.
Thanks to anyone who read through my long post and a special thanks to anyone who understands it enough to respond (LOL) and offer me any advice or past experiences with 7 month 4th of July reservations. Thanks so much!! You are the best.
