Would it be impossible …

to get two BCV rooms in November seven months out? I’ve only ever reserved eleven months ahead, and I’ve heard it’s harder now than ever to book last minute stays

Mostly likely yes....BC was booked up at 7 months when I was booking for August and November is surely busier.

For a full week? Yeah, might be close to impossible. You might be able to get 3-4 nights in a 1BR though.

Two studios yeah, probably. A 1 bedroom villa might be possible.

The fall is an extremely busy time and near park resorts are booked up during the 11 month window pretty quickly.

The hard part is needing two because you can only book one at a time and risk losing whatever two rooms you currently have in the process.

Or, get lucky and get one but not the other.

Are there any resorts that would be easier to get for a last minute trip? Do they release more rooms or is everything already out there and booked? It’s crazy to think that seven months out is now a last minute vacation!

Everything is usually put out for booking 11 months out, unless they were holding some rooms for refurbishment etc.

You will likely find OKW and SSR available, plus a smattering of other rooms at other resorts, likely AKV. If looking for studios specifically, its possible the old Polynesian rooms will have some availability as well. BWV, BCV, VGF, etc will be much harder to get at 7 months during the fall season.

If you haven't seen them yet, the availability charts at DVC Help are very useful for getting a sense of what rooms are harder to get.

Thank you! Someone posted on one of these threads a way to see what actual availability there is in the months ahead, but I can’t find the instructions. Anyone know how to do that?

This is not real time, and not all of the resorts, but it is close.
