Exactly when can I make a reservation??

[pasta37]

I have a trip planned to take family and am a total wreck about it - We never had an issue with the 7 month window for OKW (a 2BR lockoff) for prior trips because we went in early May - BUT...now, given the kids ages and school situations, I have zero flexibility and have to book going into the spring break.

My 7 month window begins on a Sunday! I see the phone lines open at 9am - What time can I go online to try to do it directly myself?? I am so hoping that one of you can tell me that the online booking opens earlier (midnight + 1 minute would be ideal!).

I wish I didn't have so darn much anxiety over this - any comments on my chances?

Thanks so much!!

Where are you currently booked? At least you have your home resort already booked, is that correct? Where do you want to change it to?

no - I have nothing booked. Our home resort is Vero Beach so that would not work for this trip.

Just to confirm the answer on times....phone lines open at 9am on a Sunday and the online opens at 8am?

Thanks so much

The March through April spring break weeks including Easter weeks are a low to moderate DVC demand time and it is easy to get an OKW 2BR at 7 months out or even a few weeks past the 7 month window.

Really??! Highest point cost though is those 2 weeks around Easter

Thanks TONS for making me feel better

You may be surprised by what annual DVC demand at WDW is really like; see my post #3 on annual availability at 7 months out here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=3281173&highlight=availability
