Standard rooms are hard to get here, because there are few. One of the reasons why I added on here was because I knew the 11 month window would be necessary to book standard rooms. Since the points are high here, standard is all I can afford.
Although I was only looking for 1 night, I got a 2 bedroom Lakeview for next month. I also got SSR GV for 3 nights after our 1 night at BLT, all for next month prior to our cruise.
I gave up my THV that I booked last year at exactly 11 months so hopefully a diser got that from a waitlist.
When I have called at 10 months out if I want a standard view I have to go on a waitlist so if you are only looking for a night or 2 their might be a possibility but if you are looking for a longer stay then you should plan on being ready to get a lakeview.
Wow. We just returned 5/27 to 6/4 from a standard view 2BR dedicated villa. I didn't realize they were so hard to get, but we did book within the 11 month window before the 7-month opened up.
We loved our standard view room. We would definitely book standard view again!!!
Thanks for everyone's feedback. I kinda thought it would be a longshot. We will need 4-5 nights, so waitlisting for a 2BR standard view may probably wouldn't come through. We have enough points for LV, but I am always looking for ways to conserve points!
