HH Success at 7 months

[bwbuddy5]

Successfully made reservations at the 7-month window at Hilton Head in July, 2BR. The CS CM said it was smart at HH in the 7-month window to reserve a day at a time; little did she know that I read the advice here! Thanks.

I had no problem booking at 7 months for June.

I called Monday morning for Sun-Tues, July 8-10 2BR and it they were already gone.
Oh well. My fault for forgetting about the Saturday hours and not calling at 9:00AM. I was busy untill 10:15 and the place was booked.

I will waitlist the whole week and try again next week. as I am not tied to any particuler week. I just love HHI in the summer.

You're kidding! I called for those exact sames dates Monday at 9am and got in. I then added two more days by calling each of the next two days. I too had forgotten to call Saturday at 1pm; I had no idea the 2BRs would go that fast.

We were lucky enough to get a 2BR for June 24 through 29 and a cash night from June 29-30 by calling at the 7 month window everyday a couple of weeks ago.

Do you mind me asking the cost of the cash night?

I think its 229 studio 299 one bedroom 326 two bedroom and 526 three bedroom last week of august member discount plus tax

Cash can be made 12 or 11 mos in advance and is cheaper than buying points from someone

It was $326 plus tax for a 2BR. Considering it would take 66 points, I came out ahead by renting points to a friend @ $10 each. They are going for 5 nights in a studio at BCV in June.

I am in the process of looking at buying into DVC. My wife and I have a 16 month old and we are expecting another child in May. We truly love Disney but may not go there every year. Is this a good choice for us?

Douglas, You probably want to post your inquiry on the DVC-Operations board - you'll get more responses. This board is mainly for vacation planning (after you've bought in).

For the record, we don't go to Disney every year either. But, I like knowing that when we do, we'll be doing so in the best accomodations, with no additional, unpredictable cash outlay.

Hey.. you took my 2BR!

I think most of the summer weeks go to members at 11-7, but there usually are a few left at 7 months. Last year I had no problem.. this year I did. Who knows? I loved HHI and plan on buying there soon, but for know I can handle the 7 month/waitlist/rent/exchange pressure.

I also called on Monday, forgetting about Saturday, and I had to waitlist for Sunday the 8th, but i got the 9th and 10th for TWO 2 bedrooms.. Called DbD and tomorrow I book the last day. Today when I called I jokingly asked if our waitlist for the 8th had come through and he said... Why yes! It has for both our 2 bedrooms. We are happy. I am sorry billyb1 that when you called they were booked, we also called right at 9...

So it seems the last of the 2 bedrooms go very quickly in the summer at the 7 month window.... day by day... But also get released right away because we must of been the first on the waitlist to have it come up 2 days later for not just 1 but 2 two bedrooms....
