Order of ease for 7 month bookings

[eyeheartgoofy]

What order would you put the WDW resorts in for ease of booking at the 7 month window? I know there are variables, like the Epcot resorts being more difficult to obtain for Food & Wine and VWL popularity in early December. But, generally, what order do you think they would easiest to book at 7 months?

I'm thinking (easiest first)

1. SSR
2. OKW
3. BWV
4. VWL
5. BCV
6. VAK (or is it AKV) - at least for now since there aren't a lot of rooms.

Comments?

I think once VAKL are completed, it will move down on the list... other than that I pretty much agree depending on time of year of course.

I also think you have to factor in the time that you want to go.

BCV and BWV are in high demand for FW festival

VWL high demand around Christmas


I would agree that SSR would be the easiest since it is the biggest.

... and SV and BW view at BWV would be more difficult than PV, with BW view slightly easier than BCV and SV slightly more difficult than BCV. -- Suzanne

Grand Villas at OKW also are relatively difficult to book.

You have to start comparing like to like and name a season. For instance, during F&W VWL isn't as difficult to book as BWV/BCV is, but in early December its more difficult. Also, you should think about BWV as three resorts (and VAKL as MANY resorts) - BWV Preferred View isn't actually all that difficult to get most of the year. BWV Standard View or Boardwalk View is much harder. VAKL Conceirge will be much more difficult than the plentiful VAKL Savannah view rooms. BCV 2 bedrooms are more difficult if you want two queens in the second room than if you don't care.

Then there is the luck factor. On occation people report what seem like miraculous bookings. No problem getting a standard view for F&W only five months out!

And finanally, its all guesswork in the end, based off the combined experience of DISers - I think Boardwalk View is harder to get than BCV, but preferred view at BW easier than any room at BCV, Suzanne's impression is different.
