Ressie calling habits

[maryisme]

When making ressies do you call day by day or once at the 7/11 month mark prior to the last day of your desired reservation?

I know that getting into HH (home resort) for the summer season is tough. I want to make sure I get my desired ressie. Day by day or one call?

Thanks.

For most reservations, calling at 11 months from check out it sufficient to get your desired dates. Exceptions may be if you want a GV, a standard view at BWV or a particularly busy time.

When calling at 7 months, the same thing generally applies, since the owners at the home resort have already had 4 months to reserve and there may not be much selection anyway (so at less busy times there will be plenty of availability...and at busy times there will not be much choice.)
If in doubt, ask MS what activity has occurred for the few days before your date- that will give you a feel for availability.
Good Luck!

I e-mailed MS concerning President's Week and it was suggested that I do one day at a time since it's such a busy time. It was a pain to make sure I was by the phone at 9 a.m. every morning - I don't think I will do it again!

We also go during President's week and I made the reservations on a day-by-day basis, since we wanted a standard view studio.

I think it really depends on the time of year and what you are looking for.

Since we only go on vacation once a year, remembering to call for a week to make sure we get what we want isn't a big deal to me. MS is very understanding about these types of calls.

WE usually travel in December, January, or September, so call once at the 11 month date from check out. When we got chosen for the sspl for Holiday 1999, we called day by day, and when we were reserving a GV for 1st of January, we also called day by day. I can't imagine we would need to do that for any other than a GV though.
