What are my chances?

What is availability like for a Studio or 1 bedroom, any view at AKL- Jambo House if I rented points in Jan/Feb for end of Oct 2014?

I had a reservation already secured, but the renter backed out, so now I have to start all over again.

Thanks!

Chances are good. AKV Jambo and Kidani savanna and standard view rooms were available in 2012 and 2013 at 7 months out for that time of year. Much more difficult to get club level or value rooms.

Since you'd still be within the priority booking window for AKV owners, you're chances should be excellent.

Phew, thank-you! I do prefer Jambo House, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm on the hunt right now for someone renting points, but just in case I don't find anyone soon (Dec) I didn't know my chances if I found someone in Jan or Feb.
My preference is a Standard View- Studio, but I won't be picky

Thanks for your help

Great! Thank-you! Makes me feel so much better that I still have some time!

Forgot to ask...what is the "priority booking" window? How long?

At 7 months from the check in day any member can try to reserve a room at any resort. The priority window is from 11 months to 7 months and 1 day.

Thanks! That's good to know!!!

Typically AKL rooms are some of the last to go (with the exception of the value and concierge rooms). A lot of people don't like them because they're stuck way out. If you have a car, though, it's no big deal, and how often can you enjoy your coffee while watching giraffes graze? (The two bathrooms in the one bedroom at Kidani are also a v. good thing, btw!)

I usually can get what I need when making reservations at AKV. One thing I would recommend is look at the runDisney schedule (I think the Rower of Terror 10 miler is in October) and could reduce your changes of getting a room.
