Availability at 7 months for longer stays

[HFJohnson]

I'm currently swaying towards resale at SSR over RIV partly because I really would be happy to stay there but also because I would like the flexibility of staying elsewhere on some trips.

I would be looking at stays of 8-10 days but wanted to get a feel for my options at the seven month mark for places like CCV/BWV/AKL etc. Am I going to struggle to find something? Is it easier to book two stays of, say, 4 nights each, at SSR then try and switch them separately?

A lot of 7 month availability depends on the size of the unit you’re looking to book and the season…for instance, if you want a Boardwalk view Studio during Fall Frenzy - you’re be lucky to get a day here or there at 7 months…but a 1 Bedroom Pool and Garden during August would be possible to get 4 days or so. I would definitely book SS in smaller intervals (even daily) and then modify to other resorts at 7 months.

Your answer really depends. When do you travel? Are you booking one bedrooms or studios?

If you are booking studios between late September- January you're mostly going to stay at your home resort as its peak DVC season and there is almost no availability elsewhere (other than possibly SSR). If this is the case, I would much rather have Riviera than Saratoga.

You have a bit more flexibility with one bedrooms but you may have to consider split stays for that length of time.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I would be looking at the smaller rooms like the studios rather than 1 bed and up, and I would be travelling off peak, usually first half of May, with some flexibility around dates.
