Drusba,As to what you will be facing with CCV, be aware that DVC's high to extremely high demand time of the year at WDW is actually late Sep to marathon weekend in Jan (the "fall season'). From mid-Jan to late Sep is the low to moderate demand season. The demand you get during that moderate time is nothing like the fall season, e.g., demand for first two weeks of December makes Easter look like the slowest of off-seasons. In other words, what you are seeing now for March 2022 is really tame in relation to what you will see 11-months out for December time.
The CCV problem is actually year round. There are not anywhere near enough studios to meet demand. Throughout the fall season, those fill within nanoseconds after 8 a.m. at 11-months out or even before. During the rest of the year, that happens about 65% of the time. Certain classes of other studios have a similar issue: BWV standard view studios (throughout the fall season and about 70% of the rest of the year), BWV boardwalk view studios (throughout the fall season but seldom the rest of the year), AKV value and club level studios (almost every day of the year), BLT standard view studios (throughout the fall season and 40% of the rest of the year), VGF studios (at times during the fall season). It is rare for other studios at WDW (e.g., you might see it happen first week of Dec -- the highest demand week of the year -- for BCV, BRV or BLT theme park view studios, but usually not)
You should also be aware that you have up until 10 days after signing the sales contract or receiving all required documents, whichever occurs later, to cancel your sale and get a full refund. That is probably something to seriously consider if you bought with the intent to usually get a CCV studio. To be valid, any such cancellation needs to be done in writing, e.g., send both an email and a letter.
Thanks for all of your insight, lots of great information there. Yes, I bought a 200 point contract in the hopes of getting a studio for a week for spring break with the kids, and perhaps another weekend with the wife. Problem is, with school schedules we are not overly flexible now, but that will change. I felt better after getting on this morning shortly after 8:00 & a full week being available. Thanks for all of yours and others insights!
