May 13, 2010? Why is everything booked?

[Perdie]

Does anyone know if there is something going on May 13, 2010? I just booked BLT for 10 days but May 13 was unavailable for studios in all 3 categories and it was booked at Beach Club and Wilderness Lodge too....So I have a ressie from May 6-16th without a room on the 13th!!

Does anyone know how likely it is I will get a room off the waitlist?

This will be my first stay at BLT-very very excited!!!

Weird, it's a Thursday??? i thought maybe it was Mother's day or something!! i bet it will come through, I would call back and ask, maybe there is a glitch in the system or something, especially if you could get all your other days.

But just in case I would book a cash night, so you don't have to move.

I had booked a trip last minute, for 5 nights, had first at BWV, 2 and 3 at BLT, 4th at VWL and 5th back at BLT, I kept calling DVC to see about day 4, trying to get into BLT so I didn't have to move, they kept saying no room! When I checked into BLt, they went to the "back room", came back made a few telephone calls, and said, its silly to move for one night, we can make it so you can stay and not move!!! Very nice surprise!!

It's a holy day in the catholic church. A lot of us with kids in catholic school have a long weekend that weekend.

Gosh, I hadn't booked it yet. I'd better get on a waitlist

True it's the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, but most dioceses in the US transfer the celebration to the following Sunday, May 16th.

Have you tried to book a studio at SSR, OKW, AKV, or BWV? You may have a good chance of getting a BLT waitlist to come through by early Spring. Only 62% of BLT has been declared for the DVC, but another Declaration should be made within the next 2-3 months. Since each Declaration adds another 15-20 villas to the Members' inventory, your chances of getting a BLT villa should improve. Good luck!!

I've usually been pretty lucking with the waitlist but you may want to book at one of the other dvc for that one night and/or a room at one of the resorts, the resort can be cancelled up to withing 5 days with a full refund and i think the waitlist ends at the 5 day mark. So you really wouldn't be out anything but at least your'd know you had a place to stay.

I've gone a few times the first of may and i know that there are a few things going on; lots of mother day specials for the weekend, also the flower thing going on (i cant remember what its called), also the have "grad nites" at MK and maybe the kids are staying the night/weekend at wdw.

it is my wife's birthday

That's it!!!! My birthday is a national holiday as well-ask my hubby! haha

I'm thinking I will call back and at least book a cash room-because you guys are all right-I have no room at this point! We've had good luck on the waiting list for AKL and BLT does have a 1 bedroom available that night but it's 31 points and there is only 2 of us....so I don't know if I want to do that....

And mine the next day. Good luck finding a room for that night!

Seems pretty likely to me. Thursday is typically the last day of a high percentage of DVC stays, and I would think there will be some stays cut short for many reasons.

I know there is a big group from the DisBoards that will be there during that time. I'm one of them arriving on the 12th and not departing until the 19th. Back in November, I was able to book my entire stay at VWL Studio with no problems. But I'm sure since May is a few months away, someone will cancel and you will be able to get the 13th.

Good Luck!
