[granmanh603]

Has anyone booked a standard room at BWV for next Oct....we travel mid week and I am not sure if we should start our booking on a Wed Oct 14 or should we start booking earlier and then cancel the first few days ....oh we want to book 3 weeks ....how do we do that...thanks for any help...hope I explained this right.

If you call exactly 11 months from your check in date you shouldn't have a problem. Call early in the day, of course. You'll be able to book 7 nights then, and will be told to call back in a week. You may have to book each of those nights one-by-one. I had a 9-night reservation and I was able to book the first 7 nights, then had to call back on day 8 to book day 8 and day 9 to book day 9. I could have waited until day 9 and added both nights, but that of course is assuming it would be available. You're looking for something that is not the majority of the resort, so availability will be tighter than a preferred view would be.

Just booked a seven day Boardwalk view Two Bedroom (BWV) for June 20th and a Grand Villa at BWV for October 10th for a week with no problem.

I stayed at BWV 10/18 to 10/24 this year and had no problem at 11 months from check-out date (boardwalk view 1 BR).

I'm calling on Nov.24 for 1 bdrm standard view @ BWV. I need 8 days,so I can book on the 24th for one week, and call back on the 25th for the extra night, or wait 'till the 25 and book all 8 days together.
Being the OCD planner, I will be making two calls

Oh yea, then I'm hoping to switch to BCV at the 7 month window, so two more calls there

Keep in mind October is the Food and Wine Fest at Epcot plus MNSSHP. We tried to book BWV, our home resort, at about 9 months, and we were on the wait list for the weekend dates. We ended up going to SSR at the 7 month window with no problem. BTW, we checked BCV at 7 months and they were booked.

Hi Petbren - I may have misunderstood you. But assuming your checkin date is 24th October and you need 8 days, then you can book the first 7 days on 24th November but you'll have to wait until 1st December to book your 8th day. At least, that's the way I understand it.

Can someone confirm this for me
I asked this question on another thread and
Chuck S replied
You can either call on Nov 26 to book all 8 nights, or call Nov 25, book 7 nights, and call back any time on or before Dec 1 to add the last night.


Do you think he meant on or after December 1?
Thanks

I know getting BCV will be difficult at the 7 month window, but I think I will be OK getting my BWV at 11 months, and I'll just wait list for BVC, it may come through.
We will have a car this trip, so if I can even get BCV during the week, and swtich to something else for the weekend I haven't tried yet, like VWL, or SSR, or OKW that would be OK too.

I believe it's: You can book 11/7 months from your checkin date - and book 7 days from your checkin date. Additional dates can be added in the normal way - i.e. 11/7 months out.

Hi I am OP thanks for all you answers....I just called and got 1 week 13-20 at BWV Standard. The CM said I could call in a week or day by day for the rest of the time. Because it is Wine and Food time I was worried but at least I have 1st week. Thanks for you help. I hope the next 2 weeks will go ok...but I guess we will just have to see. I 'm sorry but I just was confused about the new system and saw posts a while ago about people booking what they don't want and then cancelling those days...but the CM said you could also waitlist the days you couldn't get. Thanks again.

I called today and also booked a 2 bedrm standard view BWV for 10/13 to 10/20.No problem at all . Now I hoping at the 7 month mark to switch my first 2 days to a SV 2 bedrm @ AKV!! I am thinking my chances will be pretty good with all of Kidani open and the high demand for the Epcot DVC's during F&W. I feel sooo grateful to be a DVC owner!!
