Poly standard view at 7 months

[charminnie]

Has anyone had luck booking a Poly studio, standard view at 7 month window. I'm looking to go early to mid February. Not during Presidents week.

Unlike GFV (where standard view is a small%, and studios are a small % of villas).
Poly standard studios are a large category (2.5 entire longhouses are standard view studios) and the resort is still in active sales (with inventory being added) so availability has been decent.
Lake view is a much smaller category (.5 of a longhouse) and generally more difficult.
I think you would have a good shot in Feb.

Feb 1 to the Thursday before Presidents' Day is the lowest DVC demand time of the year at WDW. Poly studios, both standard and lake view, were still open at 6 months out for that time in 2017.

Also there is a good gap between percent declared and percent sold, that will help with availability. Between that, the low demand period and the sheer number of studios, you should have a good shot. I got poly at 7 months 3 times so far, last December(for a week), and this September after labor day(4 days), and end of Sept for a weekend(2 days)

Thanks for all the great info!

I was able too book for the three nights I wanted 4/1 to 4/4 at 6 1/2 months.

I was able to book 2 nights in a studio for May11-13 at the 7 month mark. Good luck!

Had no issues getting 3 nights over Memorial Day at 7 months. Even added a 4th night (albeit the Monday night) at 6 months out. Poly is much easier to get into than say VGF due to the # of studios it has (& has declared). It could be harder to get into in the future, so I figure might as well book it while we can!

Loads of availability Poly standard view at non high demand DVC times usually.

I was able to get spring break 4/17-4/22 in a standard studio with no problem at all at 5 month window.

I'm 3-months out, and was able to land almost a full week at Poly the first week of June ...missing 2-days that I'm waitlisted for. Hoping those 2-days come through.

I was able to get two standard view villas at the PVB, one for 15 nights and the other for six nights in September.

Thanks! I have hope that switching to Poly may not be so difficult! VGF may be a different story!

I can vouch for Poly standard view studios availability in early Feb 2017 at 6 months. I booked in early August last year for Feb 10 thru Feb 13. Hope to stay there next Feb too. Don't take my room!

So you're not recommending I buy a fixed week Poly Studio for the first week in February.

Can anyone see Poly standard studio availability over President's week? Hopefully new DVC buyers in the next couple of months.

We booked three Standard View Studios at the 7 month mark for July in 2016 and for July of 2017.

We booked a standard view 8/24-8/29 at 7 months out. We were in WDW this past President's weekend. We stayed at the BW, but when I was booking I saw that the a standard view at the Polynesian wasn't available on Sunday but it was available the rest of the week.
