F&G vs. F&W at BWV or BCV

[arthur06]

It seems that F&W is hugely popular at the Epcot resorts. I was wondering how it was at F&G time?

We only own a small BWV resale, so we would need to combine points at the 7 month mark to get what we want there. Is it nearly as difficult to get a 7 month reservation at that time of year. I know easter week and around there are tough, and I would want to avoid that... but what about other times?

You're right - this is a very busy time of year for BWV (and BCV) reservations for exactly that reason. That said, we've had pretty good luck with a wait-list over the years. We book our home resort (OKW) to be sure we have a place to stay the days we want to go, and then at the 7 month window call and wait-list.

In my experience, BWV is easier to get during Flower & Garden than it is for Food & Wine Festival.

F&G and is much easier. We have stayed at the BWV-preferred room at the 7 month window and at BCV at the 7 month window. As long as you avoid the week before and after Easter and Memorial Day weekend you should be able to get a reservation and if you waitlist, your chances are good.

Last year we stayed in a 1bd at BCV for the last week in April that we booked at 7m. This year we are in a 2bd boardwalk view at BWV that we booked at 7m out. I even had to change dates last month, and was still able to keep our BWV with the change of dates. So for us, F&G has been easy to get at the EPCOT resorts.

I'm going in May, at the end of F&G and was able to get my reservation at BCV at about 6 months (BWV was also available)
