studios in march at Saratoga?

[thefirebuilds]

I don't have my access information yet, my darling is handling all the details and she tends to be a little bit less type-a than I am.

Can anyone tell me if there is decent availability of studios in the month of march, or how far in advance do I need to plan to stay at SSR?

You have your best chances for "late" availability at SSR because it's (by far) the biggest of all the DVC resorts...it's also the most likely to open up due to cancelations (wait list success)...generally, one-bedrooms are more available for longer than studios, though--

Having said that, March includes spring break week...one of the two highest-cost and busiest weeks of the year at Disney...AND, all of DVC is designed to be full all the time...so the later you wait to reserve, the more "issues" you may encounter in finding space...

But, having said that...last year we decided 10 days ahead of time to go to Disney for spring break...and w/phone calls spread over 3 days, wound up getting four consecutive nights in a one-bedroom near the Hospitality House at OKW...OKW was more available than SSR and studios also came open (we just preferred the one-bedroom for that particular trip, so when it was available we took it)...

So...in my 3-year DVC experience, I've found that between 5 and 3 months out, availability, even at SSR, can be difficult...but that the wait lists always worked. And within 6 weeks or so (we've done that several times) we always found an acceptable place to stay (at either SSR or OKW), by making several phone calls and using the wait list.

And the non-spring break weeks in March are likely to be easier than the spring break weeks...

Good luck!

Yes, good luck for you! DSis has a DF who may want to join us for 1 night during my spring break stay. DF hasn't given a date yet, and if it doesn't happen soon, I doubt it will. We're staying at BWV, but I'll try to get her a studio anywhere. I know a 2 bedroom is supposed to sleep 8, but we have 5 already and no one wants to share a sleeper sofa!

Do you mean March 2009? Good luck!

Last week I called to switch my ressie in a Studio at SSR to points I had in the Holding Account. They could only do this by cancelling my existing ressie and booking a new one. So they checked on availability before canceling the existing ressie. Lo and behold, there was no availability for a studio at SSR the week of March 15 - 20. I don't know if it was just one night that was unavailable or all the nights, but either way its not looking good for new ressies.

You could try the waiting list. Or other weeks might be better. You might get lucky.

Hope it works out for you!
