Dec Booking Questing

[MarlaSingersLaundry]

We are currently in ROFR. Hopefully our contract will close by the end of the month. What are the chance of being able to book any studio in early July? We are planning dates of Dec 5-9, or thereabouts. I saw a good price on air and would to book it. Thanks for your help.

IMO, your chances are not good enough to book nonrefundable airfare unless you would be willing to either pay cash (and not use your points this time) or move between resorts (maybe more than once).

The first week of December is very popular and some of the resorts even sell out before the 7 month window opens.

Sorry. But once you can plan 7 -11 months ahead, your chances improve tremendously!

Thanks CarolMN! You are my hero today!


I'll wait and see if I can book anything. If not that week, I'll try for mid Dec. We went around Dec 17 last year and I'd love to avoid that madness again.

I just made a reserrvation for the week of Dec 17 today. AKL Jambo had lots of room types available and so did SSR and OKW. My first try was a standard studio at Kidani and those were not available. I would be pretty certain of getting OKW or SSR in July for December.

Remember, just because something is available NOW does notmean it will be available when the OP goes to book it a month or so from now.

I booked for those dates at the 11 month mark. I was able to get what I wanted and about a month later decided to add a day. I am still on the waitlist.

I know that right now there are no studios available for VWL or BWV. OKW or SS will be your best bets. Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy your first vist as DVC members.

I am also waiting ROFR on an SSR contract with points that must be used by nov 30 I have the airfare for september just waiting to book. I went to ROFR on May 15th so getting close now. I should have bought years ago but kept holding off.

Thanks! i can't wait! I haven't heard back on our contract yet from Disney, but its only been 16 days since submission. I'll cross my fingers that something is still available at the end of the month at SSR or OKW.

Which property did you book at that you had to waitlist?

Congrats! I hope you hear soon. We submitted on May 22 on a AKV contract. I hope you get the dates you need in Sept. We've been able to rent points in the past and get into SSR on short notice. Once we did have to rent a room for cash in the beginning of the trip since the date was unavailable.
