How hard is it to get into boardwalk for Feb. vacation. My friend is buying into beach club but really wants to stay at the boardwalk. It is going to be an extended family trip so she will need either two two bedrooms or one one bedroom and three studios.. She had thought of booking it as soon as she closes at the beach club and then transferring the ressie at the 7month mark or having her mom make a cash reservation for the rooms and then transferring them to DVC at the 7month mark. Would either of these plans work? Thanks Ann
 
You can not exchange cash reservations for point reservations, it would defeat the 11 month window you have for protection at your home resort. You can make reservations at BCV at the 11 month window and then transfer them to BWV at the 7 month window. Now as far as Feb goes, it is very busy there, maybe the first week of Feb it might work. You must know that BCV are only a short walk to BWV and you can pool hop, but I doubt you would want to do that at BCV, who have the best pool at WDW.
 
For some reason her mom REALLY wants the boardwalk instead of the beach club. She is concerned that if she books the beach club in hopes of transferring it to the boardwalk she may be stuck with the beach club. (which is a lovely resort in my opinion but her mom is adament on wanting the boardwalk.)
so what should I suggest to her? I believe they wanted to go the thursday before our school vacation starts which is usually around mid feb.
 
Depending on what size room, if they are patient the waitlist works. I got it via waitlist (day by day) for President's week last year for a friend of mine. Hopefully she has enough points to hold onto the BCV ressie while waiting. It came through sometime in Dec. BTW, my OKW missing night for the same week came through in the middle of Feb.

Good luck

I would ask why BWV is so much more important?

It it's the view, it is difficult to get a BW view. It can be requested but not guaranteed.

The pool is nice, but SAB is supposed to be better. I just can't think of something so significant, that it would make a difference.

Enquiring Minds want to know!
 
As Beach clubs pool is so cool and they are newer than boardwalk but her mom REALLY wants the boardwalk.
Maybe she should have her mom look at the beach club on line?
 
Why is she buying Beach Club? As they say around here-buy where you want to stay...resales are available--click on the DVC resale button on the top of this board- or ask around about other places that handle DVC resale.
