How hard will these be to get?

[dansamy]

And am I going to have to do something silly like walk them?

10/15/12-10/18/12 (or 10/22-10/25) BLT Standard View 2 studios and 1 2br - This would be our home resort and I could book at the 11 month window.

05/24/13-05/28/13 AKL Value 2 studios - This is also one of our home resorts and I would book at the 11 month window.

In order to take both these trips, I have to be judicious about points use. These would really be our only options for going and staying in these resorts during these times.

I think if you call right at the 11 month mark, you should be fine. I have not yet had a problem booking SV rooms at BLT at 11 months--I didn't do October, but in February (President's Week) and August.

The only thing I have had trouble getting was a dedicated 2 bedroom at BLT--they had a lock off SV, but not the dedicate. The good thing for me was that I wanted the lock off!

One thing I might do to help speed the process along is just have the CM put in one name for each of the rooms and tell them that you will be finalizing the names shortly.

Good luck!

I also want a lockoff! It will work better for the party configuration.

I have often called for the fall on the 11 month date and at 9am and been told I am getting the last standard view studioat BLT- so I don't know that everything will be available- I would try for the studios first and then the 2 bedroom but be ready to get LV for at least some of the rooms.

I really don't want to have to walk 3 rooms for 2 weeks!

Yay! Got my rooms!!

Happy you got your rooms!

I was pleasantly surprised to get my standard room BLT for late september calling 2 days after my 11 month mark! Last year when I called for this years trip at 9:01am on the 11 month mark there were no more standard views in any size or config for my dates!!

Well, I did book Sun-Wed. Tomorrow, I *might* move them to Mon-Thurs. Maybe.
