Best way to book TWO hard-to-get rooms

[ebenmax]

Our family needs two studios at VGC at the 7 month mark in June. I know they are difficult to snag and we must book when the window opens. However, I've never needed 2 rooms before.
Is is possible to book 2 at once?
Or can my husband and I both be on our account to try to book both rooms at the same time? Or do I have to try to book one then the other and risk them all being gone by the time I finish the first process?

Any other tips are greatly appreciated!!

Best way? Rent the points during home resort.

It is not possible to book two at once, even via Member Services. You have to book one, then the other. You have much better chances at a 2BR than 2 studios.

Good Luck! Getting one at 7 months is very hard, I can't imagine trying to get 2.

We're in the same situation...enough for 6 people in June at VGC. We're going to try to for a 2-bedroom, thinking it might be a touch easier. We've already booked at our home resort because, by golly, we're going to go a Disney park next June. Just really want it to be Disneyland!

I would put your chances of one studio as remarkably low let alone two. I just tried to get anything in February. Got up at 3 am two nights in a row to be johnny-on-the-spot at 5 am. I got absolutely nothing- zero rooms avail literally at exactly 8am and gave up. But if I really, really wanted VGC I would rent, trade or transfer for the home resort window.

Rent out your points and pay cash for the rooms.

You may not have much luck anyways (their are only 23 studios available). However, the way I would do this.

Let's say you want 5 nights June 7th-12th
On Nov 6th - book one room for 5 nights June 6th to 11th.
On Nov 7th - book second room for 5 nights June 7th to 12th.
Then call and cancel the first night of the first reservation and add a day on the end. Then you are not battling for the same room.

However, I would be super surprised if you manage to get two rooms. Getting one is sheer luck.

I'd either rent points now from a VGC owner, or make other plans (a cash stay at GC or one of the many nice hotels in walking distance). There is almost no chance that TWO will be available at seven months.
