In a separate note, I have a daughter, son-in-law, and their two young'uns who live in Melbourne. . . . .Florida. For those of you not in the know, that's near Cape Canaveral, so mandatory evacuation by 3 p.m. tomorrow. They're headed to Orlando (I'd go farther, but they've been through a couple of these before) and have a hotel room there. Looked at availability for DVC and there's squat in any category. I know that Disney is helping all the VB and some HHI folks find rooms, so I suspect that's the story there. Hopefully, any Groupies in the line of fire will take needed precautions.

Hope they remain safe and things go well with the evacuation Sleepy!

Hi everyone! Hope hump day is treating everyone well. So we just bought VWL resale and hadn't planned to go until 2019 when our son will be 4 years old but of course we have these points sitting here screaming at me and while we rented out some of them, we are now considering spending the leftovers on ourselves! What better time than December 2017?!?! So my question to you experts is.....how quickly do the studios book up for early December? Do I need to be online at 8am 11 months before? Is calling better? Also, is it reasonable to be able to use the bed, pullout and still have room for a pack 'n play?

First, let me say that there is no more beautiful place during the holidays than VWL and WL. There is no WAY I could wait until 2019 to go to the Lodge if I had points burning in my pockets, so I'm with you there. Second, if you call at 11 months you shouldn't have any issues. Just to be safe, I would, indeed, be on the phone first thing, but I truly think that snagging a reservation will be doable. As for the bed, pullout, and a pack-n-play, that might be a tight fit. Not impossible, but tight. Finally, welcome!!

Just agreeing with Sleepy! I couldn't wait either, the lodge is a great place at that time of the year, you should be fine booking right at 11 months (although I do bookings 100% online now and only call in for changes to reservations, so I'd just do it online an hour earlier vs calling), and I think it will be tight with the sleeper and the pack 'n play but I believe you'll find a spot for it.

I prefer online anyway so that sounds like a plan!

Thanks, I am hoping he might be able to sleep in the murphy bed since he will be 2, but it appears to sit high off the ground so I am not sure how safe that will be. We don't mind being cramped while we sleep so as long as it's doable with a pack n' play if needed, then we will be good to go! I wonder if the murphy bed mattress is removable? Maybe I could just put it on the floor and he could sleep there.

We have spent December in the lodge before but this will be out first time as members in VWL. I wouldn't stay anywhere else that time of year!!!

I think the resorts would have bed rails that could be used on the murphy bed but I also don't see why the mattress couldn't be moved to the floor. If he's not too wild of a sleeper you can also roll up towels and make "rails" under the sheets that help preventing rolling off the edge.
