Chances of OKW Grand Villa @ 7 mo.

[MargaretIllinois]

Hello all, new DVC member here. Bought points at SSR and VWL. I am looking to make our first ressies for June 5th -10th, 2005 and wondering what the chances were of getting a grand villa @ OKW at the 7 month window. I am going to make ressies at SSR at the 11 month window for a 2 bedroom just in case but was looking for some insight on my chances.
Thanks,
Margaret

I'm not sure of your chances?, do just what you're planning--booking SSR at the 11-month and trying at 7-months for your grand villa at OKW. Hopefully, you'll hear from others with more experience with this date and availability.

I like your name , and wanted to say WELCOME HOME!

Welcome Home,
Something else you could try is to trade reservations with an OKW owner for your SSR or VWL 11 month window. I own OKW and posted for a swap early this year, OKW GV for VWL but never had a reply, maybe you'll get lucky.

I had not thought of trading points with an OKW owner, one of my very good friends owns there, I might give it a try.

We own at BCV and this year we were able to get an OKV GV for a week in Nov.

We booked day by day at the 7 month window and had to be waitlisted for more than half of our days. Happily, all the
days did come through and we can't wait to go!



Good luck with whatever you decide!




Welcome Home!

We were on a wait-list for a GV at OKW for the week after Thanksgiving this year and it came through. Your plan is good - book what you can, and then wait-list if the GV is not available. You just never know what might come through for you!
