okw grand villa

[smacky1]

How hard would it be to rent a grand villa at okw at the 7 month window? I am planning a trip for 11/05 and was wondering if I should reserve two two bedrooms at BWV at the 11 month window then try to change to a grand villa in okw if one is available. Does anyone know how quickly the grand villas in okw are booked?

Just a word of caution. I believe the first week of November is teacher's convention in New Jersey. Many NJ DVC families go to WDW during that week and you may have a problem renting a Grand Villa at OKW or even 2 bedrooms at BWV. I suggest making your reservations as soon as you are able to do so.

It might be a bit difficult since early November is a lower point (Choice?) season, which is popular with DVC members, and the Food and Wine Fest is going on at Epcot, which is also very popular. On the other hand, OKW has more GV's than the other resorts, making them easier to get. (I think 27 or maybe 32?). Anyway, you never know til you try. Try calling the first day that you can and ask how it looks for the whole trip. Then, I would book day by day. Also, I would probably book at BWV 2 2BR like you said to be on the safe side. Good Luck!

Yes, the first week of November is F&W festival and also "Jersey week", but I think there is always a possibility, so I would reserve the 2-2 bedrooms and give it a try at 7 months. I would probably wait until the true check out day though, so you don't end up with open days in the middle.
