How much luck have you had trying to book BW at the 7 month mark? We own there so we book much earlier but there are certainly some times when it seems it can be booked at the 7 month mark. The 2042 date isnt great but if you dont have to rush into a purchase you can just throw some darts until you find something that makes a little more financial sense while getting that peace of mind for a place you enjoy staying. The BW location I think is much better than BLT for transportation purposes and your points will go much further at BW than BL.

I had luck within 60 day mark w/ a 1 bed garden view. My hope was to be able to book 2 bed easier and boardwalk view

That's relative to what someone wants out of their trip. BLT is walking distance to MK, and the monorail loop and boat to WL give it access to lots of resort restaurants. Then the bus loop at MK provide easy access to all onsite resort restaurants. This is pretty nice for someone who's been to WDW a lot and wants to try different dining. But I know OP wants to avoid buses, so it all depends!

Bingo!

Just compared all the resorts for Feb in a 2 bed. BWV saves around 10 points a night over a 5 night stay that is a lot of savings.

Edit to add compared resorts where I’m willing to stay

Something to consider - 2Br any view at BWV will be tough most times of the year since they don’t have dedicated 2brs…even at 11 months, depending on when you want to go, you may have to settle for Pool/Garden view unless you want to start walking a reservation.

Interesting. I need to learn the little things like this. I did notice only lock offs but I didn’t really stop to think about how that affects bookings.

There are very few standard view and BW view rooms.

There is also a LOT of walking at BW and a LOT of commercial renters (see the Rent/Transfer Board)

With that being said, at 11m - 1 day you can pick up what you want a lot of the time based on what I have been tracking.

Best to expect a Garden View room based on numbers.

I WANTED my family to like BCV because it would be so much easier to book 2BDs…. but they had their heart set on BW….

Is it the boardwalk immediate area that did it?

Ugh w/ the commercial renters. Of course the place I love would have that issue. Just shows I have good taste!

Noticed no 3 bedrooms at BCV either, not that I need those really ever.
