What are the chances for these resorts/view at 7 months out?

[RooRach0906]

We will be going early Dec 2012. I would really know what our chances will be so I don't get my hopes up. We are going to book SSR (home resort) at 11 months out so we will have something but still would like to know the chances.

BLT Studio MK View?
BLT 1 bdrm Lake View?

BWV 1 bdrm Preferred View?
BWV 1 bdrm Standard View?

Just trying to get idea. TIA

BLT lake view or BWV preferred pool/garden would be your best chances.

Early December is very high demand time. At 7 months out there may be little to nothing left at either of those two resorts. Higher chance at BWV preferred non-boardwalk view or BLT lake view than BWV standard or BLT MK view. To have a chance you need to call exactly 7 months out early morning because you should assume that there will be a large number of SSR owners thinking exactly like you are in switching at 7 months to BWV or BLT and if there are any openings, they can disappear quickly once the 7 month window opens.

Certainly call at the 7 month window. We went the day after Thanksgiving this year. I had my SSR ressies, and then waitlisted at BLT and BWV for the first 4 nights. When my BWV waitlist came through I waitelisted for one more night AND for the remaining 5 nights at BWV. I got the extra night, and that drove a split stay. Not a big deal, but it did cause some issues with ADRs since I was using two TS for one meal. I had to move an ADR so I would have the 2nd TS available for the same stay.

BLT Studio MK View? - very low
BLT 1 bdrm Lake View? - low-moderate

BWV 1 bdrm Preferred View? - low-moderate (very low for the Boardwalk View sub category)
BWV 1 bdrm Standard View? - very low


This is a scale of "very low, low, low moderate, moderate, moderate-high, or high"

We are booking at BLT at the 11 month 1 bdr lake view and hoping to switch to BWV at 7 month..looking at Dec 4 for a week.

Thanks for the reponses... one more to add though!
Would BCV be easier to get than the other two resorts I asked about originally.
We really want to switch for convience with a stroller as our DD will be 2 1/2 when we go.

I think BCV is smaller than the categories of BLT Lake View or BWV Preferred-Pool view, so it may be less likely.

BCV should be more likely than BWV Standard or BLT MK or Standard, though.

I would certainly consider BCV in your prioritized list of options to check at the 7 month mark.

VWL does have boat transportation to MK, but I think only 1 of the 2 boats can roll-on a stroller..
