As the days until the 7th month window for a December trip draw closer, the more I read the boards the more I'm driving myself NUTS!!

I bought in to AKV in February, too late to book anything for a trip 12/7-12/13 so I waitlisted for a studio or 1bdrm, any view. Figure I'll try to book Saratoga or Old Key West at the 7th month mark and then hope the waitlist comes through.
Seemed like a good plan so long as you don't read the boards too often, one thread has people who had no trouble in the past getting SSR or OKW at that time:cool1: , others say it's totally blocked already. :scared1:

I think I may have to block this site from my computer for a few days or I'm going to completely oot of my mind!

Oh well, I kinda feel better now :) Is it Thursday yet???
 
Here's pixie dust for you...and my tale of my unexpected March trip which hopefully will make you feel LOTS better!

On March 4, DS called to ask if I would take him & his GF (both college students) to WDW for spring break (starting March 16--March 16 was in one of the three busiest/most expensive (points-wise) weeks of the year! The week before Easter...not a snowball's chance!)...in theory, sure, said I...but there's no chance there will be any room available anywhere--it's Easter Week; it's 12 days out; it's not gonna happen, but I'll call...if we're really really lucky maybe I can get a room in a different resort every night...do you want to go if I can 5 nights in 5 different resorts? Yes, said my energetic son...(and yes, he wanted me to go on the trip, too...how to melt a mother's heart!)

So, expecting nothing, I called MS...all nights available, but as predicted, a move each day...didn't wait list, but did decide to call back "just in case" each day...by March 7 I had four nights in an OKW 1-BR near the Hospitality House...it was the trip "meant to be"!

So, it CAN happen; it DID happen...at 7 months out if you're willing to stay in any of the DVC resorts (and they're all wonderful, each in its different way), I'd bet you a hot fudge sundae you'll get what you want...may take some waitlisting, but then again it may not...

Pixie dust!
