Who's calling MS on May 16?

[NemoMOm]

We are getting so excited to call ms on May 16. I've read a couple of threads that seems like everyone else is too. So, I thought I would start a thread to see who else is excited about AKV.

Feel free to add yourself if you are anticipating the June call in too

I'll start:

The Bo Family calling in May 16th fo Oct 20th-26 ressies!

I am so out of touch.......its been a while since Ive planned a trip home. AKV are already booking (well as of May)?? I am planning on going in second week of September and was going to try for BCV or WLV, but maybe I will try AKV instead. Are they only accepting ressies from AKV owners, or can other DVC resort owners book. I am sorry if this has been post a million times already, I have a 5 month old, so its been a while since Ive been on these boards. Thanks for you patience!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be calling on May 16th for Nov.15th-18th.

I only recently decided to purchase at AKV. I already have ressies at BWV for Nov.18th-22nd, but I want to try out AKV while we're on vacation so I squeezed in a stay between our cruise and BWV.

As far as booking times, here is the quote from the DVC website:

"When can Members and Guests begin making reservations?

Members with an Ownership Interest at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas can begin making reservations at the Vacation Homes in Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas located at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge on May 16, 2007, based on limited availability. All other Disney Vacation Club Members can begin making reservations at these Vacation Homes on June 6, 2007, based on limited availability. It has not yet been determined when rental reservations will begin."

So unless you have ownership at AKV, you can't book until 6/6/07.

Thanks for the info. I think I will keep our ressies as they are for now. Maybe we can take the bus over to check out the new resort. I cant wait to hear everyones reports once they are open!

I already have the VWL booked for 11/3-11/10. Debating if I want to try to change to AKV in June. I just love my VWL and don't know if I want to give it up. I was also thinking about a split stay just in case I couldn't handle being away from VWL

 

[coffman6]

We are thinking of the first week in Jan. and Spring break!! I hope everyone gets there wish

Who's calling MS on May 16?

ALL OF US AKV OWNERS! We are planning for an early March stay in a 1 bedroom savanna view.

I'm calling for 2 studios, savannah view, for Sept. 16th and 17th. I am debating about also asking for a Saturday night in December. That's a VWL trip as it stands, but one night before at AKV sounds good to us!

I'm calling too, and my first question to MS is going to be "What's available in a studio?" for our time frame. Then, if I'm lucky enough to get a choice, I'll make one.

 

[CarolA]

ME! Sometime between now and then I have to pick some dates....

 

[TammyAlphabet]

Well, I am the optimistic dreamer, the one with her head in the clouds, with flights of fancy. I am calling, from OKW, to try and book a studio at the AKV for 12/26-12/30. I wonder if even the great Jimmy the Greek would take odds on my chances! (edited to add: I don't own AKL so I have to call on June 6th!)

 

[Juliet25]

I have to cancel my BW view studio for December, so I may call in June and plan a early January AKV vacation. I'm very excited about this resort but can't afford to buy-in.

 

[pilferk]

Add me to the list calling that day. We're calling for a 1 BR, Savannah view, from jan 5th - jan 11th.

 

[dizzneebabe]

ME! Sometime between now and then I have to pick some dates....

Me, too!

 

[Disney1fan2002]

I will begin dialing at 8:55am on May 16th to try and get a 2 bedroom for April 24-26th. Not a long stay, I know. But we are coming off the the Wonder, and want to stay at AKV ASAP!

As long as you call on May 16th, at 9AM on the nose, I don't see why you wouldn't have the same chances as anyone else wanting the same dates!

GOOD LUCK!

 

[wildernessDad]

I'm calling for September 1 - 9. I already have a VWL ressy then as a place holder (my true love, in a resort that is).

If I don't get the AKV ressy, I am going to bank my points for a May 2008 concierge vacation (yes, subject to availabiility, I know).

Edit
My current plan is to wait, bank my points now, and make a ressie for next year.

 

[Squidrific]

I will be calling at 9:00 on the nose for February 5-8.

Well, I don't own AKL, I guess I should have said that. LOL. I have to call on June 6. that is why I am the dreamer with my head in the clouds.

OK, well I need a few rooms at the Beach Club in December, so hopefully some of you who have a placeholder at the Beach Club and are planning on switching to AKL will get your rooms, and I can have a better chance of getting my rooms at the Beach Club!!
