OKW is our home resort and I was thrilled to get a GRAND VILLA for our mid-November (post Food and Wine) dates by calling right at the 11 month window, and booking day by day, even tho that was probably not necessary. Then we unexpectedly had to change the dates for our trip so I just called this past Sunday to see about OKW Grand Villa availability Oct. 25-28 and was able to get one for those dates instead. I did not really expect GV availability at this point for dates during Food and Wine but happy it worked out (even tho I would rather be there during our original dates to enjoy Christmas decorations). Hope it works out for you. GVs at OKW are incredible!
