Best 7 month chance in mid-August?

[jazzmanmgt]

I have been a DVC owner since the summer of 2004. My first 2 trips included stays at both OKW and SSR. I am looking to try a different resort next summer. Earlier I posted for which were the toughest resorts at the 7 month window, should have asked for the easiest... I will be travelling the first 2 1/2 weeks in August and looking for a 1BR. Hoping to get a bit of info on the possibility of a 7mo success for VWL, BC, and BWV for that time which might be the easiest? I know its always a gamble, just looking for what might be the best choice to go for? Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

I know that I was able to get a studio at VWL, 6 months out for August 20th to 25 this year. I needed 2 studios and a 2 bedroom and didn't have enough points to book all at more than 7 months out. I think a 1 bedroom would have been possible.

Lots of public school in Florida and surrounding states go back to school the first/second week of August. Plus, it is hurricane season. Plus, it is right before the time that has tended to be "free dining" at non DVC's. Other than the weather - it should be an ideal time to go in terms of low occupancy and I doubt you'll have trouble booking at 7 months at a variety of resorts.

That time of year is actually one of the lower demand times for DVC. VWL and BCV may be iffy but still a possibility; BWV preferred (non-boardwalk view) is likely to be open; and OKW and SSR will be available.
