Any DVC members able to check availability?

[katiescarlett]

I'm hoping one of the DVC members can check availability for me the week of November 11.  We are planning to arrive either the 11th or 12th.  Checkout 16, 17,or 18.  I am planning to put in a request through Davids but I wanted to see if anything/what is available before I even try.  We will have 4 adults and 4 children ages 9, 7, 5, and 2.  Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help!

katiescarlett, I can - you have resorts and/or room types in mind?

Just re-read and saw that you have 8 people, so I looked at 2 bedrooms. Your request is a little tricky because we're at 11 months so only people who stay at that home resort are currently able to book, plus you're looking at DVC's busiest season. Right now you have full availability at the following:

2 Bedrooms:
Saratoga Springs
AKL - Kidani
Old Key West all except near hospitality
Bay Lake - lake or theme park view, partial on standard view
Copper Creek
Grand Floridian - lake or theme park view, no standard view (well, 1 night mid-week)
Beach Club
Polynesian bungalows

Less availability:
Boardwalk (2 consecutive nights)
AKL Jambo - available from 12th-19th

Thank you so much! I know I'm past the home 11 month mark but too soon for the 7 month mark so I wasn't sure I should even try or just check the regular Disney property. I really appreciate your checking.

We put in our request at 10 months for a 2 bedroom last November.  We ended up getting a place at 6 months at OKW.  There was availability in several places at 7 months but the rental company didn't have enough points available for rent.  I would get yourself on a waitlist for points now if you can.

That is Jersey week, and likely the last week of Food and Wine, so availablity is only going to decrease.

I'd put in a request now and hope that someone with home resort priority can book something ASAP. Another option to consider when you put in a request is the Treehouse Villas at SSR; they sleep 9 and have 3 bedrooms (1 queen, 1 queen, bunk beds and the couch and chair pull out in the living room). They are just a tad bit more $ than a 2 bedroom but way cheaper than a 3 bedroom.

We got Savanna view AKL! I'm so excited! Thank you for the help and tips!
