From what I understand, there were lots of folks waitlisted in Nov at VWL, We book our VWl stay at 11 months, That is why we purchased resale, for 2008 we are staying from 11/4 -11/10, have 1-2bedroom, and 2-Studios booked. You might try to call day by day at the 7 month window.
Don't forget to have a backup plan! Book 11 months at home resort, Or maybe find a VWL owner to trade with.
Happy Holidays!
