OKW grand villa starting June 3rd my chances ? Handicap villa

[ain0004]

Well the Thanksgiving plans are out......we are now going June of 2016. Party of 12. I am hoping to snag a grand villa at OKW. Looking now at 2 months out there are some days still available. So I am hoping that this is a possibility. Plus I need a handicap villa for my mother! She is an amputee. How many are there? Hoping for a location close to pool and a bus stop!

There are only 2 HA GVs at OKW. I don't think it is possible to predict whether or not one will be available at 7 months out (I assume you don't own at OKW). It will be the luck of the draw whether or not others needing HA will book ahead of you. How many days do you need? A shorter stay would obviously have a better chance. If it were me, I would not chance it unless you have acceptable alternatives if the HA GV is not available. I would do a points transfer or rent from an owner to book the HA GV at 11 months and then rent out your own points to get the cash. My DH needs a HA room and we would never risk going without a HA room booked.

How would i go about getting points transfers?

You can check out this DIS forum for a transfer or to rent the GV from an OKW owner:

Also, if you want to get cash for your points, you can use that same forum or you could check out this site (and you could rent a reservation for the OKW GV from this site):

Good luck!!
