As long as you don't want a standard view, you will probably have a good chance right at the 7 month mark. You might have to flexible on the view type.
We are trying to book at 7mos for August, 2014. If you book online does it start at 12:01 Eastern Time on the 7mos day?
Thank you
Hey there. Hoping to book with our DVC points in late November for Late June 2014. What are the odds of actually getting something?? Thanks.
I don't understand the reason why DVC had to make such a limited quantity of standard views.
So let's say I am at my seven month window and the first day of my stay a standard view room is not available but it is available the other six days.
All seven days are available in island view.
Is my only real option to book the island view and wait list the entire stay in a standard view?
Yes, your only option would be to book the Island View... and waitlist the days you want in Standard view. Then possibly keep checking back each day and when/if Standard View opens up in availability, book those days in Standard View. Then you may need to do a room move at some point in the trip but you might decide that this is worth it in order to save on points.
I haven't been to Aulani yet but in other DVC resorts I've split my stay. Take the standard you can get on one resie and do a 2nd resie with the island view and waitlist. The only downside is you would have to switch rooms if the waitlist doesn't open.
