need a favor. Anyone calling MS in the next day or so?

We bought DVC last month but due to our home loan being refinanced, we have to wait for it to close for our financing to be completed.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone may be calling member services in the next day or so and could find out what resorts are available for December 1-5. We would only need a studio since it would just be dh and I sneaking away to see holiday decorations.
Thanks!

any idea about a week later? We are actually really flexible on dates.

Early December is very popular with DVC members as the points are in the lowest of point seasons. Add to that all of the holiday special events are in full swing and the parks and resorts are decorated. I'd be surprised if there was any rooms available at all only 2 months out.

Steph, the very best you probably will do is waitlist and hope. The first two weeks of December are VERY popular times for DVC members, the points are low as are crowds and Christmas decorations are up. Most make their reservations for this period at the eleven month mark.

Well, that's a bummer. We may have to look into staying at a value. Ughhh. I've been spoiled by dvc!!

Did you buy direct or resale? I thought once you put down the deposit you could make reservations so you may be able to call them yourself and find out. If it is resale then you will have to wait. At the very least get on a waitlist for the two largest resorts once you can call. I just got AKV studio for Dec 1 - am now waiting for Nov 28 but have a backup at OKW in 1BR for that night.
If they have any time with a couple of days available grab them and waitlist for whatever else you need. I have had WL come through in Nov and Dec for Christmas week so you may get lucky with being so flexible as to your dates.

Keep trying!!! I started calling a couple weeks ago and nada. I have been persistent trying to find a 3-4 night stretch anywhere in a studio. We are now booked for 6 nights in December. We have our first and last nights at SSR and BWV, then the middle 4 nights at AKV. We are waitlisted on the two nights, but I am not holding my breath.
