Quick background, we know Disney but never stayed DVC before. Had been wanting to try it for the last few years we decided to go for it. I was given some not so great advice by a friend who had always stayed DVC by telling us to wait for the 7 month mark to reserve. You can imagine we were able to secure nothing and had to postpone and try again a year later.
So now we are getting close to the 11 month mark and we are still very nervous about hitting the wall again with all that I have read. Maybe someone here can guide me on how the best way would be to get our reservations.
First, I think we would be using the DVC store. I have talked to them multiple times and they have been very helpful. Its the length of stay that seems to throw things off for us. We would be staying for 12 nights
I guess the main question would be how to book the reservations to give us the best opportunity to actually get them. Since we can book exactly on the 11 month mark and they can only book for 7 days out, they give me these options....
1. Try to book the entire stay but wait 5 days past the 11 month mark to do it.
2. Book a 7 night stay, then a 5 night stay (both being done at the 11 month mark on each res)
3. Book a 5 night stay, then a 7 night stay (both being done at the 11 month mark on each res)
The places we would want to stay are of course popular and need to be done right away. CCV, BLT, BWV. We dont care if we have to split up the trip and stay in two places.
Any help or guidance is appreciated. We are looking before Thanksgiving next year
