ALK concierge at 7 months?

[DoleWhipDVC]

What are my chances for a studio concierge at AKL at 7 months? Has anyone been successful?

We tried with no luck. It seems to me from reading this site that the couple of times people have been successful at 7 months are people looking for only a couple of days during a slow season. Many are not successful 9am at 11 months out. It cannot hurt to try or waitlist but I certainly would not count on it.

We were able to book a one bedroom AKV Concierge level at 5 months. We will be enjoying it January 23-26. Were we surprised, yes, but you never know until you try. Good luck with your request.

Thanks!
We are looking at 5 nights for the third week in August...we will have to see in January...it never hurts to try. I will start working on some alternative scenerios if we can't get the concierge room.

1 brs are easier to get than studios.

I think the studio and 2 BR concierge would be the most difficult villas to get as they are the most popular villas for booking. Since the 1BR still only sleeps four (or is five) many think that at double the points (or more) of a studio it's pretty expensive so many members get either a studio or 2 BR. So I think if you really want a concierge villa at 7 months you might have to go for a 1 BR.

Except for the value villas, 1 bedrooms at Jambo sleep 5. They only have 1 full bath, however. In Kidani all of the 1 bedrooms sleep 5 and have 2 full baths.

We just called at the 7th month mark for the first week of April.
Studio Concierge was not available for 4/6 and 4/7, so we booked a savannah studio and are on the wait list. We got studio club level for 4/8 and 4/9 and have booked the Sunrise Safari for check-out morning 4/10.
