How busy is Jersey Week to book?

[AllieV]

Jersey week is the first week of November each year. How busy does DVC get? Is it hard to get a 1-br room at 7 months? The prime ones, BLT, BCV, etc.

That time frame is also the end of F&W, plus the F&W half marathon and Veteran's Day. So it is busy. Book your home resort at 11 months out and hope you can change at seven months out. You might be able to get OKW, SSR or AKV.

Yes...This. We were there last Nov. We closed on our DVC resale purchase for BLT last February and tried to book a 2br for that week. The Fri/Sat nights we had to waitlist......before the 7 month window opened. Our waitlist came through, but it is VERY busy for food & wine....especially for BCV and BWV. During the week the crowds were fine, until the final weekend. It was INSANE inside Epcot. You will be able to get a room, but if you are looking for the easiest resorts to get to epcot (BCV, BWV, or even BLT for the monorail) you will most likely have to waitlist.

Hi all...this is just a friendly reminder that we have asked that people not look up and post availability for others. Since that changes so often, unless one is ready to book, its really of no use.

General questions about trends, etc. are fine.

Thank you in advance!

The end of that week as mentioned before is very hard to get once you pass 7 months at all resorts. I know that at 5-6 months out for the past 2 years people have complained that nothing is available and when I needed to book that weekend 2 years ago at the end of July- my only choice was a GV at SSR and I wasn't willing to pay the points for that for just 2 of us- we stayed at a value resort for that trip.
