How far out does RCI release available timeshares?

[::danielle::]

My MIL is letting us exchange her timeshare in 2012 so that we can take a family trip to Disney. Her exchange points are low but high enough to exchange into WBC. I am patiently waiting to scoop up a unit in April 2012 but the latest I can book (at this point) is February. It's been that way for a long time!

When can I expect to see March and April come available?! The wait is killing me!!!

Wyndham deposits one month at a time, about 7-9 months prior to use. March should come in any day now. April will be anywhere from 4-8 weeks from now, but probably about a month after March, give or take.

Edited to add: expect Bonnet to be near the top end of the range for comparably-sized properties in Orlando. For example, right now the second week of April, 2BRs are 20-24 or so. A Bonnet 2BR will probably be 24-26 or so, but it is unlikely to be less than 24.

Also be aware that ongoing searches grab up popular weeks and they may never appear online. It would be a good idea to have her start a search right away for you.

I'm very new to RCI, but I started looking yesterday, just to make some vacation plans for next summer. We had no desire to go anywhere in particular, but something clicked in my head when I realized that Feb. 2013 will be when we celebrate our 30th anniversary!

Long story short, I'm booking a 3-bedroom condo at Silver Lakes for the first week in Feb. Our anniversary will fall in that week, and we're going to take all 3 daughters, 2 of their partners and our granddaughter!

I think I was pretty lucky getting a Feb. 2013 unit so early, though.

RCI resorts can be deposited as early as two years prior to use. Just two weeks ago, I confirmed an exchange for a 2BR unit in the outskirts of Paris (on the RER-A line between town and Disneyland Paris, and 10 minutes from a Metro station) for June 2013.
