I was on at midnight of my 11 months. Looking for two bedroom for week beginning 12/6. Nothing available. Booked for 12/13 a week later. Led me to look at calendar for Boardwalk and availability compared to others and Boardwalk has few solid week long available openings.I booked a 1br garden view last week for the first week in December. I was on the fence as to when to go and while browsing saw plenty of availability for Sept-Dec. Have owned at BWV since 1999 and have never had trouble booking from a studio to GV at 11 months and usually find something at 7.
yup!Not to add gasoline to the smoldering embers of this thread, but I just had a 3-night wait list for a BWV std. view studio come thru for a F&W weekend. Yes, BWV is hard to book but it is not impossible to get what you want IF you have the patience to wait it out.
Booking starts at 8:00am online. If you tried at midnight, it will show no availability.I was on at midnight of my 11 months. Looking for two bedroom for week beginning 12/6. Nothing available.

It will show availability, it just won't allow the room to be booked.Booking starts at 8:00am online. If you tried at midnight, it will show no availability.

How long was you on the waitlist? We booked 11 months out then decided to add on days and are waitlisted for 2 nights. I'm still over 7 months out. This is a first time booking a stay for us so just curious if waitlist come through often or should I consider booking elsewhere those two nights.Not to add gasoline to the smoldering embers of this thread, but I just had a 3-night wait list for a BWV std. view studio come thru for a F&W weekend.

I was on the wait list for just under 2 weeks. I had booked a garden view when it became available early this month and then waitlisted for std. view for the same dates. Then I began stalking. Wait list beat out stalking this time.How long was you on the waitlist? We booked 11 months out then decided to add on days and are waitlisted for 2 nights. I'm still over 7 months out.

I've never had a problem booking a 1-bedroom at 7 months. Even scored a standard a couple of times over the years. Studios are an issue at the low point seasons.
And how do you propose they balance the points out? DVC cannot randomly raise points for one booking category without lowering them an equal amount in another category just because b/w view books up faster than g/p view. The g/p views still get booked. OKW has two booking categories. Near Hospitality House always books up first. DVC doesn’t raise the points for those villas just because there is a greater preference.It’s time for DVC to make the Boardwalk view rooms 1 or 2 more points than the garden/pool view. Aug 2020 studios...standard singles here and there, same for Boardwalk view, while garden/pool view is practically available everyday
