We booked at the 11 month window to make sure we got one in October for a week. Booking that far out was no problem, though if you are not renting from a BLT owner you could be up against the high demand as mentioned in an earlier post at the 7 month window. I'm not sure what your preference is, but we booked a Lake view and saved over 100 points. We got a villa facing the Contemporary and my 1 1/2 year old grandson would have spent the entire vacation watching the monorails go in and out! And if you really want to see the fireworks you can always go up to the TOW. Here's hoping you get what you want!!
