Calculating 11 month ressies..

[mbb]

Help!

We own at BCV, and we're thinking Christmas 2006..and I'm absolutely hopeless at trying to figure out when to call MS for reservations..

Checking in Sunday, December 24, and out on Friday, December 29, 1 bdr..I'm thinking I might be calling when we're in WDW this year..

TIA!

You should be able to book 11 months from your check out date. I would say that would be Jan 29th, 2006. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. My initials are mbb also.

Correct. You can make a ressie for your entire stay on Jan. 29th. If you want to be really safe you can call day by day starting the 24th. Let them know that you are doing this so they link your ressie for the entire stay.

..I didn't provide enough information..January 29 falls on a Sunday..do I call on the Friday before, or the Monday after?

We need a "11/7mos window calculator"..well, I need it, anyway

...got it all figured out - I think! LOL!

It's just too hard to think about NEXT Christmas, already, and we're not through this one yet

Thanks again, all

IMHO, I think you would be safe on Monday because you have the 11 month priority window. Or you could do what Dave eluded to by booking one day at a time and link them, but I'm guessing that might not be necessary. Matt

December 24 would check-out on December 25, so the first day you could call for the first night would be January 25.

If the 11 month window falls on a Saturday or Sunday, you have to wait until Monday.

Sorry, my bad. I screwed that one up.
