MS says new OKW booking category?

[jekjones1558]

I called MS tonight about our OKW reservation in November. In the course of the conversation I mentioned that we were hoping to be near HH and the CM said that there will be a new booking category for this. I could kick myself for not getting more details (I was in a hurry at the time). Anyone heard anything about this? It doesn't sound right to me.

How funny. Maybe all the emails for booking catergories for SSR were misconstrewed for OKW.

 

[MrsNick]

Oooh! This is a juicy tidbit! Maybe DVC listened to everyone regarding SSR, and now both OKW and SSR will have preferred sections that will be bookable as separate (but equal points) categories.

Keep us posted!

It wouldn't surprise me!

I hope this info is released soon--I need to start calling for 3 2bdrms and a studio next Tuesday. My 81 yr old Mom needs to keep her walking to a minimum so we would prob need one of those preferred locations !

 

[Deb & Bill]

Maybe buildings with elevators and those without???

 

[TTFN!]

Just called MS to confirm.

Advisor Rebecca said nothing has been announced as of yet, but we should look for the next vacation magic coming out in 3 weeks for that and other new info.

P.S. When I asked if the other new info was the announcement of the CRV, she replied, "... the Contemporary resort at WDW is currently undergoing major refurbishment..."

Interesting....

Hey this is great news. Especially for some of the new members looking to book near the HH.

like south pointe or miller road better myself.

yes - you tear down the building to refurbishment it.....

not really expecting that announcement until next year.

 

[Sammie]

It's true, there will be additional info in the next Vacation Magic. Not sure on the start date, no additional points needed.

And no this does not affect SSR.

that is a big surprise. they have been complaining about the bad (in some people's opinion) villa for a while.

LauraBearz - You made me just laugh out loud at work. I love your signatue.

Every time we do to WDW I watch the Appliance Direct commercials, my family groans when they catch me watching those great and zany extended commercials.

I love that Appliance Guy !!

Did she also mention that they will be selling extensions for OKW for $25/pt before discounts? THAT was a teaser!

 

[Debby7]

So, If I make my ressies next week, will I be able to call when this info comes out and add the new preferences?

I may be totally ignorant of building improvements, but can't they install elevators in every building - maybe even outside the building?

 

[OneMoreTry]

Just another reason to call at 11 months.

Sounds very expensive to me. I wouldn't want to have to pay for it.

According to the Fall issue of Vacation Magic, any room with the HH request will be converted to the new category.
