I just have to share this with you guys.....First off lets just say I am, like most of you an over planner. So this year with my DS starting Elementary school I had to pull the school schedule off of the internet and start looking at when we were going to be heading to Disney for spring break. Not a problem it started on 3/31! (check
) So since we are DVC at Vero I needed the 7 month booking window so I calculated to the date that I can call and get my Boardwalk View studio. The time comes...I call... add DDP...DONE!
Well, On a wim yesterday I happened double check my daily planner with my son's school calendar that is posted in his forlder for the year. Everything is looking good until
I get to spring break...WHAT! 
His spring break is now April 7th-11th! The following week AFTER my reservation. So in a panic I call the school and they confirm my nightmare. Then I call Member Services, get hooked up with a super nice CM "Shelby" and she informs me that there are NO Boardwalk views available for me anymore, not even a preferred view. Only a standard one bedroom. 
So she then asks, "anyplace else you'd liek to try?" So I say..."I know it is not available but go with AKV, any studio". She then says..."you never know let's see." (Just a side note I'd only want to stay there if I had Savana View so I was gearing up for disappointment) Well, she comes back on and says, "I only have a Savana View Studio for you, is that OK?" I almost jumped through the phone.
I must have sounded like one of those traders on the stock market floor...."I'LL TAKE IT..GO..GO..GO!!!" 
So now I was totally estatic and now I am even more excited about our Spring Break Trip.
