Bump....still have some points available to make reservations or to transfer points.
I do have points available. Are you looking to just buy points or are you looking for reservation at BLT?
I am thinking the reservation, it's my first time renting so I'm not sure the different between the buying points and the reservation? I don't think BLT is available the whole length of our stay so I am looking to move to AKV too.
All
Here are some tips that will help me to get you what you are looking for quicker
Tip 1: Know your dates. I need a Check-in date and a Check-out date. Just like any hotel. If you are flexible, please let me know with some insight (any days for x nights; x nights before checkin or x nights after desired check-out
Tip 2: No the type of room being desired: Studio, 1 - bedroom, 2 - bedroom, or 3 bedroom. Know that points go higher with each room type. Know that all of the room type can sleep at least 4 people. On Studio - it is using a queen size sleeper sofa; 1-bedroom MAY have 2 beds in a room but it definitely has a King and a sofa couch in the living room; 2 bedrooms are great for multiple adults
Tip 3: Views: If you want the value deal and view doesn't matter from the room, then choose standard. Premium views, garden views, pool views, boardwalk views all are more points per night
Tip 4: What Disney Property If you want the Disney experience and the location (which Disney property ) doesn't matter then say Any property. If you want a particular property then let me know which property or if you have an order of preference of properties then let me know. If your last preference is ANY Property then please let me know that.
Here is insight into my process.
I get a request; I immediately log into my 'Disney portal' and pull up the availability tool and start putting in your requirements and desires. They system starts telling me what is possibly available. Once I select the 'book now' it immediately confirms availability and gives me 20 minutes to confirm before it will release the room. It tells me the dates, the room type and the number of points it takes to reserve.
I have been a DVC member going on 15+ years. Each year, Disney appears to get more and more people booking and rooms and dates fill up tremendously FAST. Rooms and dates available in the morning are gone by afternoon. I tell you this because if you are ready, most times we can find that spot at Disney however if you aren't...and need to think about it a couple of days...there is no guarantee.
If you want more information about Disney, please let me know.
Thanks

Hi,
Not looking for Christmas, but wondering if you have anything at AK available for Oct 16-23 2018, 2 adults and 2 children 6 and 10, preferably a value, but I know they go quick so a standard is good too.
Thanks for checking
Right now, it appears to have several openings. That is because we are not within the 7 month open window for December and if the Resort is not your home resort, you can not book yet. My home resort membership is at Saratoga Springs and at Boardwalk.
Let me know how I can help.
Thanks
Bob
