Should we book home resort for SWW 09 or wait to try another?

[rgoulette2]

We are planning our first SWW trip next year and we are looking for advice. If we book at our home resort can we try to book something else at 7 months and just cancel if we get the new reservation?

I don't know what SWW is, so no idea about the time of year, but it is ALWAYS adviseable to book your home resort at 11 months and then switch to a different one at 7 months if you are wanting a different experience. That way you will still have a place if the resort you want to change to is not available.

We were just at SWW at the start of June. It was the first time we went and I can definitely recommend staying at etiher the BCV or BWV. We originally had reservations for our home at AKV and then at 7 months we switched to BWV. Being close enough to all the action at DHS made a big difference for us. May the force be with you ...next year!

I'm another advocate of booking your home resort at 11 months and then switching at 7 months if you want too. At 7 months out you may have to go on a waitlist.

We were lucky in that we didn't have to go on a WL at 7 months but we did have to switch from a standard view 1br after 2 nights to a boardwalk view 1 br for the last 3 nights of our trip. I would have preferred staying in one room for the whole 5 nights.

If I could pick either BWV or BCV which is better? We spend most of the time in the parks. Should I try to rent/trade post to get what I am looking for?

BWV is a little closer to the studios than the BCV.
