Have you been able to book BWV or BCV at 7 mos. out???

[jenntish]

Interested the kind of success everyone has had booking the 'hottest' properties at 7 mos. out RECENTLY... for the non-hottest times (not talking about Xmas or Spring Break).

Thanks for your input

Don't know if this is in the recent category but we stayed at BCV studio 2/26-3/2 with a booking about 5 months out (10/4). I called on 3/3 for a 2bdrm BCV 8/27-9/1 and got it. Granted, we are not traveling at peak times. At the 7 month window, everything had been available for 8/20-8/1 except for BWV standards.

We just returned for a BWV std view studio after 6 nights from April 6-13th. I booked it about 5-6 months ago. I have stayed at BWV (not a home resort) 6 times over the last 4 years and always in a std view studio or std view 1 BR. So yes, you can get in, I did have to wait list for several trips.

I was able to book a 1 bedroom standard view at 7 months a couple of years ago.

In late January of this year, I was able to book a studio at BCV for a Thursday night a week ahead (Feb 2).

We booked BCV for this coming July about a month ago. That's only about 4 months ahead.

This is my second year in a row where I was lucky enough to get a 2 bedroom BCV during F&W at 7 months out. Last year was for Nov 5 thru Nov 12 and this year we're taking advantage of our APs and going Oct 28 through Nov 6.

We booked a standard view studio at BWV at the seven month window for Sept2-10th!

We have been members since 2001, and have always been able to get a room at the BWV or BCV. We have booked every trip at the 7 month window (or less, in some cases). We typically travel in summer, although last year we went in April (and July, hehe). We have had to "do" waitlist a few times, but it has always worked out. There was one time when we could not get a specific villa at the BCV, so we "settled" for the BWV!

I'm a renter and was able to get 3 nights in September at the BCV. The owner just called this past week.

I've gotten BWV 2 times in Oct once in 2003 standard studio for 2 nights at 1 month out and in 2005 1 bedroom standard 5 nights at 7 months out. This year at exactly 7 mons out I couldn't so I waitlisted for a standard studio for 5 nights I hope I get it but I'll stay at OKW otherwise. We love food and wine festival can't wait.

I just booked 10 nights at the BCV last week for September - I called back and changed it to 5 nights VWL and 5 BCV, but when I asked about availabilities for an additional night at BCV I was told "no problem - I see 30+ units still available."

I should also add that all 5 properties were available (BWV too) and this is about 4 1/2 months out.

Last year I also booked BCV for a week in May in January and again, all were available when I called so we had our choice.

Our experience? It's very possible.

In loate November we decided to go for President's Week in February (3 mos out). We got a studio at VWL 2/20-2/24 and BCV standard view studio for 2/24-3/3.

 

[Aneille]

I booked a standard 1 bedroom at the BW for May. I believe I booked it around the 5/6 month mark.

 

[disgirl]

Last year we booked a studio at BCV for late August at exactly 7 months and this year we booked a 1 bedroom at BCV for July 4th week at exactly 7 months with no problem. Hope this helps!!

 

[jbwolffiv]

We got BCV Studio for this July 30-August 3 at the seven month window. I was not a problem.

 

[FreeTime]

I booked a 2-br BW view and a 1-br standard at BWV 2 months out for Oct last year during F&W festival.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Had to waitlist, but 4 months out got a SV 2 bedroom at BWV for last August.
