Can Someone Please Call MS Friday morning..

[Opie100]

...for me and find out if there are any Beach Club Villa studios available on May 20? I'm sorry to be a pain, but this info would help me given that I'm not an owner yet. Thank you (and good karma) to any kind DVC samaritan that can help!

May 20 is more than 13 months away. Home resorts have to be within 11+7 to book so no one will becable to check that far away

I assume you mean this coming May 20th, 2009 and not 2010.

Our DISboard DVC Resort Reservation Availability thread so far doesn't have any reports that May 20th BCV studios have all been booked.

Keep in mind this is unofficial and only shows what members have reported to us. Someone will still need to check with MS.

Also, I'm assuming you mean available for stay on points. Whether something is available for cash or not comes from different inventory.

I will try when I get home from work today - we are 5 hours ahead so will call when MS opens

1) Caskbill was right: 2009
2) Points, not cash
3) Thank you Joh!

I wonder how the information can help you, because whatever inventory may be available today could be gone tomorrow.

If you are looking at this because you want to become a member and want to make spur-of-the-moment reservations, then DVC is probably not for you. DVC is more amenable to those who can plan well in advance. BCV is a popular DVC resort and is the second smallest on WDW property. While there may be some inventory now, there is no guarantee that it will be like that in the future, especially if the economy turns around. Studios are typically the most in demand in any resort, so the likelihood of a studio being available on short notice is slim, not impossible and with the current economy maybe somewhat probable.

Really not sure what you are trying to do. You are not a member so you can't use points, if you are looking to rent the Rent/Trade board would be a better option. Also with such short notice, waitlists would be filled and any other inventory probably turned over to CRO.

Could OP have a closing pending and therefore looking for info? Or perhaps they have a friend/relative who has offered to "gift' them some points( and who at this time due to schedule or other such thing is unable to check for them)? Just a few thoughts on why OP is asking us here. But you did give very prudent advice about how rapidly points can disappear LOL!

Basically I have a ressie at a different location through renting and the 31 day window is closing. Was thinking about changing to BCV for that night, but only if available today. I'll post my itinerary in a trip report, as this is my chance to convince DW to buy some points. Our itinerary is a little crazy right now (3 DVC resorts in 4 days) and moving to BCV on this night could simplify some.

You as a renter can't change the ressie, must be done by the actual owner you are renting from. Could be a differance in amount of points needed for differant location.

 

[Opie100]

I hear ya - It's a two point difference. I just didn't want to bug the owners today (who are very nice) unless I already knew that it was available. I was hoping someone would already be calling MS about something else and could ask the question for me.

Hi, just called MS - no availability for studio at BCV on May 20th - she did say that BWV was available.

Hope that helps (although it probably doesn't, sorry)

 

[Opie100]

Helps perfectly! Thanks Joh! It wasn't available earlier this week either, and BWV is where we're currently set up that night. This trip was a little late developing, so I had to book nights in different locations, but I found some very nice DVC owners that rented points to us so we're good to go!
