I called day-by-day at 7 months for our 5 day Thursday before Pres. Day (2/15- arrive) to Tuesday (2/20 -depart) stay. I was reserving a 2 bedroom and had to waitlist for Monday. That one day waitlist came through about 2 months out. At that point I knew about the pool closure and turned it down, keeping our BWV reservation for that day.
I was reserving a dedicated 2 bedroom. I think I may have had an easier time if I had chosen a lock-off unit instead. I also thought that one day waitlist would have come through much much quicker then it did.
