Congratulations! I do wonder if there's more interest in BWV now that the refurb's end is in sight. Some people may be sitting on a year's banked points until they feel comfortable they're going to be in "new" BWV.
Regarding what
@Sandisw was saying about how single night unavailability keeps "moving" with the 11 mo booking window - not everyone's booking is a walked one - there are some that legit end on the previous day. all the rooms that are NOT being walked are open for booking at 8am - it may be only 1 room, but if you're the lucky one, you will get a room, and it will look to *everyone else* who was trying for the same room that it was available until 7:59 am or even 8:00 and when they clicked to book... then suddenly gone.
I have seen this happen more than a few times, where I got the "last" room at 11 months at VGF and BLT, and a couple times at 7mo at AUL and VGC.
By the way, does anyone here remember the "RAT" ? when you were booking, it would hold the room for 10 or 15 minutes for you to complete the booking process, so it was definitely possible to get a room at 7 or 11 months in the hour after 8am because sometimes people would start booking and not finish, or change their minds as to room type, etc.
Does anyone remember the 2-window method of modifying reservations in the RAT?? I do not miss those days.
