Well, by checking often, very often, I was able to get my three day stay in a standard view studio, and I saved 18 points. I was willing to move during the stay, the nights became available one at a time. I won’t do that for my friends, I’ll keep checking for their 5 night, but I won’t jeopardize their 5 consecutive nights.
I believe it was 2016 as Bobbi mentioned. Here is the SSR tree from 2016. (I think the photo was taken at BWV--we set it up and enjoyed it over over our Thanksgiving holiday before passing it along to the next family.
)
I found another picture of an Exchange tree. This was December 2017! it looks as if we were in SSR MAYBE.
Yes, I think you are lucky!
I suspect many DVC members have not been to WDW in December since 2019.
Keep trying, I got the dwarves, then tried again and it worked. Just keep clicking.....
We had to cancel this today but I’m not too sad. We opted to extend our Thanksgiving stay for a few days on the front end and to (hopefully) get a 2 bedroom villa at the 7 month mark. Hope you all have amazing December stays!!!I can’t imagine doing it for December. We were lucky enough to get a 1 bedroom BCV from 1/1/22 to 1/7/22 at 7 months by piecing it together day by day behind what was likely Disney marathon walkers. We couldn’t get 12/30/21 and 12/31/22, of course, but that’s my own fault for not adding those dates until 4.5 months out. We have a 1 bedroom standard view booked for BWV for the first full week of December 2022 but it all depends on the kids’ school calendar. If it holds true to pattern, there should be a couple of full professional development days where the kids don’t have to go to school (so they would really be missing only three days of school). If the calendar changes, we will have to cancel
Hope that works out for you!
Me, too! The kids really want to stay at SSR so we are hopeful. If not, we already have a 1 bedroom booked for our dates.
