The I Love BWV (yes, Hallways and Clown Pool too!) Thread

Yep. So I really cant believe I completely forgot it was my 11 month window. I mean I can book at 7 months with other points elsewhere but really wanted BW

Don’t beat yourself up. I’ve been trying for a 2BR resort or Boardwalk view for our trip next year with zero luck. Even if you had been up not sure you would have gotten it. Good luck!

I walked a res for October for two weeks nearly and never came close to getting a resort view so don’t beat yourself up.

Thanks guys. Today I was up at 6am (8am FL time) to book without my starting day and you both are right. I wasn't able to get the next day either.

Im hoping someone is walking to the holiday weekend following the weekend I want and I can pick it up tomorrow morning. To book P/G I have to cancel another trip or borrow.

This is probably the situation. You watched me switch from BW view to resort this past week. It took a lot of stalking. I think you would probably get what you want with some serious stalking and waitlisting. By waitlist I mean 'sometimes' it works.

Right now the 1 bedroom is not the problem. And tomorrow's room could be gone before 8, or whatever it is in your time zone. But - the day before may show up. So you need to start checking earlier (hate to say that). This timeframe is your best overall shot at getting what you want. People are always walking. (I never seem to manage that! Anyway people are walking into next years spring break, easter, and those cheap May nights.

With the time difference, I know it's more difficult for you, sleep wise. But, good luck and best wishes!

Oh, and this is nothing quite as bad as early December.

On another note, I was able to extend my early December by another day as I was checking my early February stay. Just using up my extra points! Still have a few so will continue checking to take me into the next week. You never know! And @Genie+ has me checking out CL level all over Disney as an added temptation. Nice way to extend and fill in gaps.

Im lucky enough that I have the ability to stalk so I will do that. I was hoping the day prior would open up because someone was walking but it didnt. Went through our options yesterday for our just in case and was shocked again at how much cheaper BW resort view 2 bed is compared to every other resort, the only other that comes close is AKV standard for a 2 bed. Even my CCV with the great point chart is 43 points more than BW. I justified BW 2042 due to the better point chart just didn't realize how hard it would be, I do think if the 2 bed were not a lock off it would have been easier. This is my first year needing this reservation, maybe my luck will fare better in the future.
