Would you book Vero?

The MA school district that our DGC attend has the week before Easter next year as it's break. That's the week that begins April 17th. Our DFamily wants to have a beach activity vacation as opposed to WDW (and Cape May just wouldn't be warm enough! but that would be "Free!"), and HHI would be the better drive. Just how "busy" is VB during that last week of April. I have to borrow 100+ points just to get them the 1 bedroom, and the HHI reservation would be much cheaper for even a 2 bedroom.

My thinking is that with all of the talk of losing a reservation, why have the VB to cancel if I have to use those points for HHI which is what they would prefer?

Do you think if I fail to book anything at VB at 7 months there would be no 1 bedrooms left for them in case HHI is unavailable? The Spring break factor is the real unknown. How many of us would be going to the beach instead of WDW? I've never been to WDW during Holy week, but isn't that and the week after and Christmas/NY the busiest time at WDW?

What would you do? Book VB or just wait to 7 months?

PS. I've thought that just at 7 months try to get HHI and if it's not available, go for the next day for a reservaton at VB. I would still be in the preference time for VB by a day, but that's really cutting it close, I know.

From what I've read about HHI, it was booked solid during Holy Week. Another thing to consider is that there is a big golf tournament in April at HHI in which the resort gets booked for that too. You may have better availability at VB. It sounds tough for both places in April.

See, that's why it's good to ask! I know so little about that area and Holy Week is so late, the weather is bound to be nicer. I'll book VB for them, tomorrow!

VB is usually pretty busy the 2 weeks around Easter.

That's our traditional spring break, other than next yr when our break is in early April. 2 years ago ran into a ex-Ohioian SSR owner who was able to book the weekend at 7 months than did day by day for the balance of the week. I think it took her almost to the 30 day mark to get the last night.

Now last year at Easter VB was not as crowded as in the past.
