Grand Californian at 11 months gone?!

[Gothemi]

Really interested in purchasing resale at GCH as I live in California and usually prefer GCH for our stays around November/December.

So I figured, resale at GCH would be great for the 11 month booking window. I only need a studio, which I know goes the quickest. It seems like there is no availability at the 11 month mark for November/December stays in a deluxe studio. I’m assuming people are jumping online right at 5 am to book, but is it always this bad? Is this a case of walking reservations?

Just not I wanna plunk down $30k and struggle to get a Christmas holiday weekend. Any owners have experience with this? For context, I’m looking at the first few weekends of December and middle weekends in November.

The weekend of the Candlelight processional at DL is one of the most difficult. 11 months right when booking opens is pretty much necessary and won't be guaranteed. Christmas time in general the weekends in particular will be more difficult. I haven't had difficulties at 11 months personally but the times you are looking are going to be the most difficult for a studio at VGC.

Waitlist it. We just did waitlist at 7 months out and got it a week later. People tend to walk reservations and it looks full and as they release them they open back up. Good luck!!
