Well that's an hour of my life I can't get back...but hey I'm going to DISNEY!


Now to join the throngs calling on 6/6 to complete our ressie... *sigh*

 

[abeyst]

I just got off the phone - she said it's slowed down considerably and there's only 60 people on hold....

 

[Marshay]

Got my 1BR Savannah room for 2 nights in mid-Sept!

 

[Robo-Daddy 3000]

They fixed the glitch with the 2008 reservations and I got the 1BR savannah view for April '08.

Now, all I have to do is call back tomorrow and the next day for the last 2 nights of our vacation.

[beezerdave]

Called this morning. 10 minutes of redialing, 20 minutes of hold and finally was able to switch our Xmas 2007 trip from OKW to AKV. Studio with Savannah view.

Do you have to be a AKV owner to book today or if I own SSR can I book today for January?

 

[coffman6]

All other DVCers can book AKV on June 6th.

 

[wildernessDad]

Do you have to be a AKV owner to book today or if I own SSR can I book today for January?

You have to be an AKV owner to begin booking today. I BELIEVE that it is June 6 for non AKV owners.

Got through this morning at 8am CST on the 407 #, waited about 12 min, and someone answered, then was told we have no AKV points, I freaked, and then thought about it. Its in the next use year, as we get them dec. 1, 2007. So she looks there, and finds them, goes to book me a 1bdrm for 12-31/1-4, and a studio for 12/29-12/31. She comes back and puts me hold, theres a glitch in the system, and no one can book a room!!! She comes back about 40min later, and says she has both reservations SV. I say great, and am in shock, never expected to get both, thought I'd get the 1 bdrm, and have to book the studio somewhere else!!! So my morning was great! Hope everyone else gets the ressies they need!

 

[TMB1203]

Congrats everyone! It seems like everybody has gotten what they wanted!

Enjoy your trip and new "homes"!

Congrations everyone

Let the planning begin

 

[ibouncetoo]

Anybody releasing a 2 bedroom at any of the other DVC resorts for week starting 12/1 or 12/2/07????

I have one at OKW you can have if someone can get me a 2 BR at BCV.....

LOL, Well, I'd rather have BCV...but OKW is high on my list!

Actually, we've got a time share exchange in the works for then, but if anything doesn't come through by mid-June, I'm going to bail on that and rent DVC from a fellow DISer Sun-Thu of that week. It's making me crazy not knowing where I'll be.

I started dialing at 8:59 EDT, and DH and I dialed continuously from our cell phones for 45 minutes without getting anything but a busy signal. I fianlly got through at around 10:10. The MS CM made an error and charged my account the wrong number of points, including BORROWING those points. She said she would hand correct it, but not to expect it to be corrected for a few days. I'm in Disney, so I'll wait and check when we get home. Didn't get the vaule studio for the first night, but did get a standard studio for that night. Then we have a Savanna view 1 bedroom for the rest of the trip. I think it helped that our trip is planned for early March.

 

[pinktales]

Got my ressie yesterday for Sept. 1 - 5 in a 1 bedroom savana view. Concierge not available yet. Thinking of adding a couple more days to it though at the end. But might wait until June 6 and use my other points. Only problem is that is the last day of my next disney trip.... we will be checking out that day. But since it is the day booking opens for everyone else there I better call right on the dot.... or before. When I called yesterday.... wasn't able to call until about 1:30pm I had no wait at all and was told there was still about 20 1 bedroom savana view rooms still available for my dates. I was shocked. Thought it was going to book up alot faster.

Though I wasn't able to book for July 2 at AKV. Was told that you have to have a contract that says your unit is available July 2. But I bought my first AKV contract on the 2nd day they were selling them to just the current DVC members. I asked her if anyone does have the July 2 opening on thier contract and she said just a select few. Wish I had been aware of this before hand when buying my contract I would have asked for the earliest opening date contract.

Does anyone know if they are now or when they are taking reservations for the new building?

The new building isn't slated to open until sometime in '09 (and then in phases).

They'll likely start taking ressies for the new building about 11 months (for AKV owners) from the time they estimate the building to open...or not until sometime in '08.
