Looking for advice, starting to plan!

[lifesgr8]

Im planning our second ever trip to wdw. Last time I was able to book BCV through RCI using our timeshare. Then I bought our meal plan out of pocket and used the YES program for tickets.

This time, I jumped on airfare without thinking that through RCI I can only book a fri, sat, or sun check in. My airfare is Tues to Tues.

So my second thought was pay for my room, and see what deals are out for free dining plans or what ever. Well, my stay happens across MLK day in January?! I am seeing that most of the special offers have a closed window during mlk day. Am I out of luck on that?

Im counting on you disers for some advice...... do I see about changing airfare or is there something I am not seeing?

I would check into renting points so you can stay at the same villa the whole week. That would make things a lot easier. Technically they could still make you move rooms during your stay, but we've done combination reservations before (multiple owners or half pts half cash, etc) and they haven't moved us. GOOD LUCK! Oh, and depending on which airline you are flying you may or may not be able to easily change your dates. We always fly Southwest so they don't have fees to switch.

If you book Wyndham Bonnet Creek through Vacation Upgrades or Vacation Strategy, they can generally get you set up so that your dates don't have to be a Fri-Sun check-in. You can also contact David's DVC rental to rent points for a DVC resort and save some money compared to rack rate.

Infortunately, the OP is far too late to book that time at BCV or BWV. SSR might still be available, but that might be the only possibility.

Sorry, I didn't see any dates mentioned. I just saw "planning".
