Was anyone on this board able to book the night of Nov. 30th checking out on Dec. 1st today? We were told that we could not book the night of the 30th until Wed. due to leap year this year and the computers not allowing them to(another member has also posted a problem with this). Anyone else told this?

From what I understood it doesn't really have anything to do with leap year, you can't book the night of Nov 30th until Jan 1st every year - this is due to the 11 months being from the checkout day, not the checkin day. As the checkout day for a Nov 30th stay is Dec 1st, 11 months out would be Jan 1st.
Just to check, I just plugged in a date that wouldn't be affected by the leap year - June 30th, 2009 - into Caskbill's planner (which I know is not direct from DVC, but boy does that man know his booking rules! ) - it comes up with a 11 month window of August 1st, which would fit with a check out date of July 1st.

Thank you! I feel better now. After reading another thread, it sounded like some people may have been able to book and I was freaking out! I guess it's up at 6am PST again on Wed. I have never had so many problems/obstacles booking a ressie! I will be glad when I am done.
