OKW Grand Villa @ 7 Mos. During Marathon

[chefconti]

Hi. I'm going to attempt to book an Old Key West grand villa at 7 months out for marathon weekend 2012. I was curious of what people thought my chances were...

-Absolutely 0.0%...I am wasting my time even trying
-1.0%...total longshot
-25.0%...it happens, but not very often
-About 50/50
-Other?

Thanks.

I'm going to say not quite 50/50, but maybe more like 35/65.

If only trying for Friday and Saturday night, chances are probably not too much under 50%. If desire is also some weeknights, you are likely down to below 10%.

We are planning to check in on Thursday and check out on Monday.

OKW is very popular for marathon time. We booked a one bedroom (usually the easiest to get) and we could only get Fri, Sat and Sun at about five months out. We tried to add Thursday night and wasn't able to do it. At seven months out, I think a GV would be a very long shot.

Is there also some type in October - maybe a half marathon? I thought I read it somewhere but can't seem to find it now......
