Book Now or Wait

[Wanna be Ariel]

We are going next year Nov 3rd-9th 2013. I am looking to stay at either the Poly or the CR/BLT. My question is should I book now and wait to get a room only discount or should I hold out. If I book now will that hurt my chances of getting a discount? Also thinking my renting DVC points for BLT??? Not sure if this would be a better money saver? Any thoughts would be great!!!

Having a reservation doesn't really hurt your chance of getting a discount. Discounts are on limited number of rooms and as long as you are on top of things, your chances are probably just as good if you book now or later.

If you have to stay at a specific resort, I would book now. You're coming during FW and that's a popluar time. You probably won't get BLT if you book 7 months out. I'm a DVC member and when I booked 7 months out for that time slot for this year, BLT wasn't available. If you're going to rent DVC points for BLT, you will need to start looking Dec. 3rd this year.

Thank you for that. That is good to know. This would be our first time trying to rent DVC points. I just might book CR or Poly and wait to see what happens in Dec for DVC
