SSR 2 bedroom for 2015

[jerseygirl82]

I was checking November 2014 availability to get an idea of what we'd be looking at for November 2015. I understand the week I want is Jersey week, but I was surprised to see even SSR and OKW didn't have the entire availability I would need. Is this a fluke? Unfortunately we borrowed our 2015 points, so I can't even book until my 2016 points become available next April 1st. What are the odds I will be able to snag a 2 bedroom at SSR or OKW 7 months out?

If you own at SS you can book at 11 months. The points only have to be available at the time of the trip not when you book.

If you look at your account online, you should see April 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017. You could borrow 2016 for a stay 4-1-15 or after when 11 months comes up.

As far as the 7 month window goes, the key night this year for even OKW and SSR availability was Nov 8, Friday. What was going on partly had something to do with Jersey week being the first full week of Nov, but to that were added two main factors in that Nov 8 begins Veterans Day weekend (the last days of Food and Wine), a very high demand weekend, and the Saturday of that weekend is the Food & Wine half marathon. The combination of factors made that Friday night in particular one of the highest DVC demand nights of the year.

Wonderful, thanks for pointing that out

That week is also still food and wine festival in Epcot
