Aulani week after Xmas at 7 months?

What are my chances of securing two 2 bedroom ocean view villas at 7 month window for New Years week 2015? Looking at 12/27-1/3/15.

I was able to piece together our Christmas trip at the 7 month window. I booked what I could then wait listed the rest. The extra nights came through in July. I'm still paying cash for 12/25 and 12/31 but I gave up those wait lists as other nights filled in and I ran out of points. I never bothered to check to see if those nights ever became available on points but we wanted views with lesser points. The ocean view rooms were available when I booked.

Thanks for this info. So ocean view was available for all your dates at 7 months? What size units did you book? Enjoy your stay. We just got back.

We could have booked a 2 bedroom but ended up booking a 1 bedroom. The days went quickly. The nights of 12/27-12/30 were available but 12/31 was not. The nights 1/1 and later were also available but we didn't need them. I knew that we were going to have to pay cash for a couple nights so I didn't worry about it and just picked up the days when I could. If I was all points I may have attempted to walk the reservation. I was surprised that most options were available other than the exact holiday nights. Good luck!
