What are my chances... 4 months out?

[summerw]

I totally understand that we'd be completely missing both the 11- and 7-month windows, but with dh's job, we just can't book for late April / early May (well after Easter) until January. Ideally we'd take an 11-night trip but I'd be happy doing a split stay. Any chance at all of getting a studio with any view at Bwv, Bcv, blt or vwl? I realize if there's a chance, it's probably slim, but just wondering if I should give up hope now. TIA

We were able to get a Deluxe Studio at WL, booking 1/3 for Memorial Day Weekend- which also happened to be SWW. It was a 7 night stay. I do remember our CSR telling us that WL shouldn't be a problem in May.

Not sure if you're looking for late April/ early May, but I'm sure you can get something! Good Luck!

That's great news! Thanks so much for responding. The current plan is for April 18-29, but we might have to be flexible until final say so in January. I feel better knowing there's at least some chance. Thanks!

You should be able to get a studio at SSR - anything else is up in the air especially for that long. With the Flower and Garden festival going on the Epcot resorts are more of a longshot. I would say you best bet on the ones you listed is VWL but AKV and SSR will be much more likely to be open.

That time of year is a slower one for DVC. What is your use year? Do you have to borrow? Could you book it and then cancel in January if you can't go?

In 2014, Memorial Day weekend was hard to get at the 6 month mark, I am not sure about the four month mark. But the rest of May was easy to get a few days at several resorts as close as 3 months.

Unfortunately we'd just be borrowing, but hopefully with an eye to buy! Thanks!

Great! Hopefully this will work out somehow. Thanks!!

Well, last minute Disney planners can't be choosers, so hopefully the longshot will work out. I can definitely split stay if needed. Thanks!

And sorry for the triple post. Multi-quote was being naughty.
