I got called a couple days ago to tell me the studio I needed for Dec 5th was available so I switched my BIL and SIL from the 1 bedroom we had reserved for them to the studio. They are coming a day earlier than the rest of the family when we are all staying at BWV.
Bobbi...I think that VWL in December has always generated waitlists during the home booking period. My recollection is that some of the days (such as Christmas - New Year) have waitlists for certain villa types within a few days after the 11 month booking window opens.
