Months with less than 30 days - making DVC reservations

[moreisgood]

What happens in a month like February? Today is the 27th, and I can book a non-home resort 7 months out for a reservation starting the 27th. Same thing for home resort, 11 months out, on the 27th.

So, tomorrow, the 28th, I can book the 28th of reservation month. What happens on Sunday, March 1st? On that day, can I book reservation month 29, 30, and 31 (if applicable)?

This also happens in any month with 30 days, but February is an especially good example. I have noticed that the DVC booking window is always exactly the date X number of months out. It's not 7 time 30 days nor 11 times 30 days.

Yes, on Sunday, you can then book 7/11 months from March 1st...that would include September 29 & September 30th, and October 1st as well as January 29, 30, and 31st, and February 1st.

Sandisw is correct.
Somewhat off topic, but interesting IMHO: members booking at 11 months can book a vacation that starts December 31st on January 31st. I think that is the only time members can book a vacation that starts on the 31st, and have the booking window open on the 31st of the month 11 months earlier. In all other months, if you are booking a vacation that starts on the 31st of any month, the 11 month window actually opens on the 1st day of the next month. (For example you cannot book a vacation starting on May 31st until July 1st, since there is no June 31st)
It only works for NYE because December and January are the only two consecutive months that both have 31 days.

July and August are consecutive months with 31 days, so you can book July 31 on August 31.
