Here now (home resort) and nothing much to report other than the cast members are terrific and everything seems in tip-top shape!

Anyone with a week 39 FW using it this year other than me? 45 days away, but who's counting?!

I wish!! We’re saving it to combine with another FW next summer…one of these years!!

We're week 40...I think. Bought FW last year, but have used '24, '25 and '26 for other trips. Maybe in '27!

As a new owner of Riv, I'm wondering how availability is for the first two weeks of December? I'm assuming its fine since they are still in active sales, but wanted to see what you all are experiencing. Studios and one bedrooms specifically.

Edit: December in general, not this upcoming December which I know is booked solid.

Studios tend to book fast but you can get what you want if using the 11-month privilege.

Early December has to be booked at 11 months, sometimes at exactly 11 months at 8am. People walk it.

ETA: DVC only 'declares' the number of rooms commensurate with the number of points sold. The rest are available for cash until the resort sells out. That means what you see regarding availability is pretty close to what you'll always see because rooms available on points = points sold (until resales kick in down the road, then who knows).

These are among the most in-demand weeks in the entire DVC system. Point values are low, the holiday decorations are up, and the in-Park crowds aren't too bad. If you want a studio (and especially a Standard/Resort view) you will need to play the fastest-finger game or walk. A 1BR might be easier.

Plus, the weather is really nice the first of December!

That is the main reason we go then.
