Never say never! I'm still amazed at my experience getting a BWV standard view for the first full weekend in December. It's not my home resort, so at 11 months I called and reserved at my home resort so I'd at least be assured of a place to stay. The CM was very nice and just for my curiosity, she checked on BWV standard view studios. They were already booked. At 7 months, I called and just said, "I'd like to be put on the waiting list for a standard view studio at the BW." Boy, was I surprised when the CM said, "Waiting list? Don't you want the one I have available now?"
