last minute ressies?

[Syd&Cammie]

has anyone ever tried to get last minute ressies for 1 or 2 nights (anywhere) within a week or two with success?

 

[OKW Lover]

Yes.

Of course, your success will depend on when you are going.

I got 1 night in a BCV studio about 1 week out for early February.

 

[Syd&Cammie]

so any night in a long weekend at the end of May would be pretty unlikely

i think i am in the same boat as you. we are waiting to be "loaded" into the DVC system. i have cash ressies for June 1 / 2, but looking to switch over to points once im in. since i am not at all picky about where we stay for those 2 days, i am crossing my fingers that something will be available.

good luck to you too.

 

[Syd&Cammie]

hope you get your points loaded and can switch to points DizMagic.....we'll be at the beach in late May and I have my fingers crossed we could pick up a couple nights in the World on our way home...needing pixie dust

We did it last week - called one week out and got a 1BR at OKW. Had SSR 1BR avail also. We wanted studio but points were low enough at OKW that we went with what was available.

2 weeks out I got a studio at OKW for spring break week, and the resort wasn't even that full. I think you'd definitely do ok for OKW.

Earlier this month I got OKW 1bed for 2 nights only 2 days out! Good luck!

We called 4/25/2011 and got ressies for 4/29 - 5/1... We got a 2BR savannah view at Kidani Wishing you much

Today, I just booked Memorial Day night (Monday) at Kidani because we are arriving a day early for our GF stay. 1 BR standard. Could have booked at OKW; BLT was full.

 

[Havana]

Yes, two weeks in a row.
We booked on a Wed last month to arrive that Friday at SSR.
And then the next week when we decided to go back, we booked on a Tuesday to arrive at Kidani on Thursday.

we were able to get a 2 bedroom at OKW for Sat nite....our first time staying at DVC
we also got into HH for a night on June 1st!

We called about 5pm on our way down to FL over President's Day weekend and got a 2 bedroom at Kidani for that night. We were staying with a friend on her points the rest of the trip but DH was able to leave work early enough the day before that we wanted to hit the road.

Not only did we get a room but since it was DH's birthday, there were extra goodies in the room when we got there. The Member Services rep promised to have the resort do something special.

I was actually looking at the member website today and did notice that this particular reservation showed 0 points used but the points were of course taken out of our account for that stay.

Last minute, how about 15 minutes before check-in. DW and I went to DTD for a few hours one Sunday. Decided we wanted to stay the night, called OKW front desk(this was back before MS was working on Sundays), got a reservation, drove over and checked in.
