question: OKW grand villa 7 mo. out??

[panfan]

Okay, thinking about a possible family gathering. As a BCV owner, just wondering when the best time of the year to consider the possibility of getting a grand villa at OKW??

Thanks for any help!

I would try January or September first.

Worst case, you could always reserve a 1B and a 2B, and waitlist for the GV.

Another possibility is to look for an OKW owner interested in having your window at BCVs and trade points. They make your reservation, you make theirs.

Like has been said, Jan and September, then you could sneak in with a May or early November also.

Not early November. Food & Wine takes them all - I have tried.

We booked an OKW GV for this past May (2-8) at the end of October. We were very surprised one was available. It never hurts to call MS and ask. Also, as others have said, if you can be flexible with your dates you may have more success.

We stayed in a GV at OKW in April for 5 nights and we only reserved it 5 months earlier in November right after becoming DVC members. I couldn't believe it was available for 5 nights during such a busy time. So it can be done, just call member services and hope for the best.

We were able to get 8 nights in an OKW GV for early Nov 05. We called at the 7 month mark (we own at BCV) and we did it day by day. We had to waitlist for about half of the days, but they all came through within the month!

We can't wait!
