We booked last Tues. for 5 nights in late Oct. after our 4 day Wonder Cruise and were disappointed to find that of our first 5 hotel choices, only the Wilderness Lodge had availablility! It was choice number 5 (there were rooms at AK but we wanted to be closer to the Epcot Food & Wine events) I was just a little disapointed with the response, since we are BWV owners with a new BCV contract (and use year).
I'm fairly sure that the Food & Wine and Halloween events have some impact on our ability to get reservations but it seems to me that with only a 1/3 or so sold, we can't all be booking the same 5 days Now I'm curious as to just how many rooms are available. I may check wit MS to be waitlisted for one of our other choice, but we do like the WL area and will someday book a villa there, so we may not change/ I hope others have better luck.
