I booked late in August for Christmas '05 through New Year's Day
standard 1 bdrms were available for the whole ressie in late August, by December, I had all 1 bdrm boardwalk view from the 25th through the 31st, but ended up booking 2 last nights in a studio boardwalk view which also came through. I was sweating it out, but it happened "magically".
Here is how my ressies turned out:
3 N 12/22-12/25 Wilderness Lodge courtyard view in our favorite room!
5N 12/25-12/30 1 bdrm BWV boardwalk view room
2N 12/30-1/1 studio BWV boardwalk view room
I ended up choosing the studio for 12/30-1/1 because the 29th of all nights was the last night to come available on the waitlist and I didn't know if the 1 bdrm bw view or the studio bw view would come available first if at all.
I know that this sounds complicated, but I lived through it and wanted to "relive" it once more!!
