AK availability

[Phil Cirrone]

I noticed that AK has a lot more availability than BW BL and BC is there any reason why?

AKV is a larger resort. It also has a stigma of being on the edge of no where and being far away from every thing.

Number of rooms per resort:
AKV 458 (max 708) rooms
BWV 383 (max 532) rooms
BLT 295 (max 428) rooms
BCV 208 (max 282) rooms

We own at BWV but usually stay at AKV because 9 times out of 10 there is always availability. Being a larger resort and a choice of staying at the main house or Kidani also helps.

Some don't care for the heavy theming and dark rooms.

Thank you. That makes total sense.

For what dates?

AKV savanna and standard view are usually easy to get at 7 months out and even beyond that. However, at the same time, AKV has the hardest rooms to get of all WDW rooms, AKV concierge which is almost never available at 7 months out and, because members can reserve 7 nights 11 months out from date of arrival, is often not even available at 11 months out because one's arrival date is later than another's. It also has the the third hardest rooms to get, AKV value, which are often unavailable at 7 months out (second hardest is BLT standard view).

Thanks you for the info

Thank you for this info. We were hoping to do AKV value for a 2 bdrm for 2014 Spring Break, but it looks like I need to go to plan B.

Depends on what you mean by spring break. If you mean the two Easter weeks, then likley no chance for value unless you book 11 months out. But value can sometimes be open even at 7 months out during other spring break weeks, such as first half of March or last week of April.

We lucked out and got AKL concierge at 7month out last Spring trip. MS said it was a lucky break, but you never know so its always worth a try. Good luck with getting what you want.

My kid's Spring Break is almost always the week before Easter, so I'm sure I will have plan A, B, C and D when I call. I had to do that with Aulani, and luckily I had many options already planned, because I did not get my first choice of room.

We were able to get an AKL Value Studio only a few months out. Someone must have canceled.

Plan for standard view just in case. I tried for a 2BR value right at seven months for this April (not one of the weeks before or after Easter, but still spring break season). One of the three nights I wanted was not available, The first two nights were open, but not the third. We ended up booking a 2BR standard view at Kidani. I once tried to switch five nights to a standard AKV 2BR at Thanksgiving, and one or two nights right at Thanksgiving were not available.
