Popular DVC Times

[emma'smom]

A few posts have highlighted popular DVC'er times that make it increasingly difficult to find something at the 7 month window. What times are most popular with which DVC resorts? We want to go in early march next year (before the usual public school breaks- although I am sure we'll coincide with some). We want to go during college spring break time. We're hoping for BWV, but willing to do OKW if necessary.

You have a good shot at getting the BWV in early March at the 7 month mark unless you are trying to get a standard view or a guaranteed Boardwalk view.

The easiest times of the year to get any DVC resort at the 7 month mark are January thru mid-February (before President's Day week), May and September.

Both EPCOT resorts are especially tough to get during October - December.

For the BWV, spring break time and summer are easier than the fall months listed above(not including the holiday weeks, especially the Easter weeks. Those can be quite difficult at 7 months, too).

Standard views, guaranteed Boardwalk views and Grand Villas are difficult at 7 months for all times of the year.

HTH.

Best wishes -

Carol has it right except in the past two years or so the first week in January has become very popular time at DVC, it is really a spill over of the Christmas week plus more schools have off that week now. As a matter of fact I would avoid the second week in Jan also because for the past two years there has been a builders convention of over 100,000 members things can get busy that week also. Times are changing slightly down there.

Hmm...we were hoping for a two-bedroom, standard view. We'll I guess we'll just try our luck and see what happens. We've reserved at SSR as a back up, just in case.
