guesses on availability

[MILLZ]

Looking at booking a 2br at old key west or standard view at boardwalk to save on points oct 5-11 so i will have to use the 7 month window what do you think the odds will be. Also if i book at my resort at 11 month ssr i would have to borrow around 50 pts to do this so if i switch to old key west or boardwalk for less points what happens to my borrowed points. Can i put them back into the next year.

IMHO, the standard view at the BWV is not going to happen. Those rooms are usually snapped up at 11 months at that time of year. OKW is very possible.

Chances for Stnd Boardwalk - nill. OKW there is a chance

If you borrow 50 points and then switch the reservation for less points, you just make sure that the reservation that you do use, uses the borrowed points first than the current UY points. So what ever is left over can be banked.....

Don't borrow points to book the SSR reservation. Just book as many of the weeknights as you can if it would make you more comfortable having at least a partial back up reservation.

SSR will still have availability at the 7 month mark. If you can't get BWV or OKW at 7 months, you can book SSR at that time (or book the last few nights).

FWIW, I do not think you have much of a chance at BWV standard view for your dates. I think you have a reasonable chance of getting OKW though. I'd call day by day for it.

Good luck!

OKW and SSR will be no problem. I'm not as skeptical on the BWV standard view as some might. Book OKW and wait list the BWV option if it's not available initially. Call day by day at 7 months and book BWV SV if available, if not, book OKW and wait list the BWV option day by day.
