Christmas 2011 reservations

[fast43]

We are in the primary planning stages of a trip to the World next Christmas (2011). We currently own at Beach Club, Boardwalk and Saratoga Springs. We would like to stay at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. If we wait until our 7 month window opens, we there still be availabiltiy or should I book at one of our home resorts now to ensure we have a place to stay during next holiday season. thanks again..

Book at a home resort and then try to switch at 7 months, to make sure you will have somewhere to stay. Christmas books up early.

If you mean Christmas week, book home resort; also book at the 11 month window and don't delay much beyond it. AKV might be available at 7 months but for that time of year you should not assume it will be as often much of everything can be gone before you even get to 10 months out.

We own at BLT and VGC and booked for BLT from 12/15-12/23 this year at 11 months. (2 bedroom) I then switched to AKL- Kidani for a standard 2 bedroom dedicated at 7 months and was able to get the same dates.

I think we will take your advice and book at our home resort and swith our reservation when the 7 month window opens. We are planning on December 23-29 so I guess January 23 is when we can start booking.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

This is so funny! We own at AKL and are hoping to switch to Beach Club or Boardwalk at 7 months, sure wish we could just swap! We will book AKL at 11 months and then pray for availability at the others at 7 months. Good Luck!

That is really funny. At least you know that I am going to cancel at 7 months (hopefully) and rebook at your resort. Maybe I can e-mail you when we do cancel. We are looking at a 1-bedroom for Dec23-29.
