They're not unrealistic. I'm also a VWL owner. Last summer I also wanted to extend our WDW vacation into Vero Beach, so I requested a 2BR about 5 months prior to my requested check in date. There were no 2BR's available so I reserved two lodge rooms and asked to be put on the wait list for a 2BR. We got the 2BR less than 2 weeks before check in.
No we ran into a family who got a 2br at 7 months a few years ago for Easter week. Now she did end up wl a weekday few nights(back in the old system), but they all came through.

Would love to do WDW, cruise then Vero....I just can't book the cruise till I know about Vero because i don't know when it will be available. I figured best time to cruise would be the easter week because....they are used to being full......but long lines at WDW are ahem....not so nice Then unwind at the end at Vero....One can dream right

Last yr, originally got 2 BR Vero 7 months out for mid April 2010...Wound up cancelling when we found out high school baseball was playing during week off from school..
Then re-booked 2 BR for mid August 2010 EXACTLY 7 months out!

I just booked earlier this week and got April 22 - 27th. Couldn't get my first night April 21st, I think we may stay at Country Inn & Suites in Vero Beach with my points from CI & S which will be ok.
