Shouldn't I be able to book Dec 1st today?

I couldn't even get a walk started for all of 2025, but I was able to piece together a nice 4 night stay by picking up days behind the walkers and waitlisting a few more days.

I call walking the day behind “marching”

Maybe more like ambling or shuffling along since it's slower than a walker

Tomorrow may actually be a great day to start a booking for 12/1 as I think many people may sleep in or forget to walk their reservation.

I noticed this on Thanksgiving Day with my 2 home resorts - CCV and RIV. Studios were definitely being walked at both resorts, but you could actually book them both on Thanksgiving morning - maybe the day before and the day after too, but don't remember exactly.

I didn’t come up with it. I picked it up from a DVC podcast. “March behind the Walkers”

When I tried to book today for 12-1 to 12-8, it decided it was going to take all my points, current and banked, from each contract in order until it had enough, instead of taking all the banked points first from 4 contracts and then the remaining 40 points points from the first contract's then current use year. I suspect I'll be calling on Friday and have to wait in line to straighten this issue out...

So, even after you booked, with all contracts checked, it didn’t take the banked points?

I know there is a screen that makes it seem like it won’t but once finalized it does…

If it didn’t then definitely a wonderful website glitch!!

I was able to book Dec 1 today. I still say this is a strange dumb way to do this, but my husband says its makes sense.

I think it makes sense once you think about it. Maybe it's one of those left brain/right brain things. There is a booking window calculator on the DVC dashboard under your upcoming reservations that will help you figure out when you can book your dates.

I think it would make more sense if the rest of Disney booking was this way. But dining, LL, cabanas etc are all the way I assumed it was for DVC.

Gotcha, I don't often book those things right at the day they're available unless it's particularly hard to get so I don't have to do that math often.
