Could Someone Check for Current Availability Over Mother's Day Weekend?

[Scotch]

I bought two resale contracts earlier in the year -- 160 BCV & 140 OKW. Well, the BCV passed ROFR a whole MONTH before the OKW, but the closing company that handled the BCV contract was sooooo slow (compared to Timeshare Closing Services, which handled the OKW deal) that both ownership transfer info ended up being submitted to DVC the same week (last week)! I just learned from MS that both tranfer info has reached DVC but it'll take until Wednesday before I get into the system. I've been so anxious to make my December ressies.

In any event, an idea just hit me -- I just thought of taking my mom to WDW over Mother's Day weekend because this year her birthday happens to coincide with Mother's Day, and she will be turning 60. Also she has never visited WDW before; she enjoyed the one time I took her to Disneyland around Xmas years ago. I know staying at DVC only for a weekend is a bad using of points (and I haven't checked cash rates yet), but I may do it anyway. But since that is a holiday weekend, are rooms all booked? Will we be out of luck? I'd like to splurage on a 2BR suite at BCV or OKW. If one of you happens to plan to call MS today or tomorrow, could you check for me to see if there are still rooms available at these two resorts? I plan to call to make ressies as soon as I get into the system, but I wonder if I am just wasting time on thinking of this last minute Mother's Day weekend trip.

I called three times today and we're still not in the system! Very bummed.

I have to call MS this morning and if I don't have a "Senior Moment", I'll try to remember to ask for you.

I did not have a "Senior Moment" and remembered!LOL

As of today, yes there is availabel 2 bedroom units at OKW for sure but she would have to double check for BCV but I did not want to bother her but it looked good!

Hope you get into the system so that you can snag!

Good Luck!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I called MS's member adminstration # again today and learned that the holdup on processing my BCV contract is due to the fact that she had not received payment from the closing agent to cover the balance due on the maintenance fees! That is the same closing company that took a month longer than Timeshare Closing Services (which handled our OKW resale) to process everything. UGH! I called the closing company and learned that they sent the payment separately and it wasn't sent until this week. My OKW account should get into the system by this afternoon, but since that is an Oct. use year, I won't have enough points even borrowing all of '06 points for my anticipated May ressie. I asked MS whether I could pay the balance due on the M/F fees for the BCV via credit card on the phone, and when they receive the payment from the closing agent just apply it to our account as a credit to next year's fees. The agent said she will check with accounting to see if they could do that for me.
