Resorts full at 11 months/walking

[meggers628]

Hi everyone, I’m a point renter, dreaming of being an owner someday, and I’m getting nervous!

I’m coordinating 2 point rentals/reservations for an extended family trip, with 2 different BCV owners. The first will be a 2 bedroom starting 10/20, and the second reservation is a studio starting 10/21. Both owners seem experienced and ready to book the morning the window opens. I will be sending 50% payment via pay pal tomorrow if my first reservation is secured. But I’m seeing a few post, here and on Facebook, about limited availability at popular resorts due to walking (and I also think due to more people renting out confirmed reservations).

What if I secure the first reservation, pay for half/sign my contract, and then can’t get the studio reservation? Then I’ll really be in a pickle!

Am I just being crazy? Do you think I’ll be ok with both reservations? Obviously I’m not looking for a guarantee, just opinions. Talk me through my anxiety please. Lol.

Have BWV studio garden/pool view as a backup plan.

Thanks!

We have a back up plan of 3 Poly studios. I’d actually be ok if I couldn’t get both reservations, my worry is getting the first, paying for it, and then not getting the second reservation the following day.

How far away are the standard view rooms at the boardwalk from the actual boardwalk. Why are the points so "cheap". The pool/garden view rooms dont look like they will be a problem at all to book.

They are all in the same building. Some of the Standards are close to lobby. They are cheap because BWV was the second WDW DVC resort and undervalued.

Standards face the driveway and parking lot. Not all are close to the lobby, some are over near the tennis courts.

BCV should be easy. It doesn't have issues until the 7 month window. There are really only a handful of booking categories that are tough at 11 months (none of those are at BCV).

Thank you! I just keep hearing that things are booking like crazy. But they are mostly resorts with standard views.

Dealing with the expectations of my family, and their money, has me stressing.

BCV has not booked up right at 11 months and it should be fine. The "can't get my room" posts are really just about particular views like BWV standard view, AKV Value studios, BLT standard view and AKV concierge.

Standard studio at BWV may be harder to book than studio at BCV for Oct 21, 2019.

It all worked out and we have both rooms booked. Thanks everyone!
