Certain times of the year, walking is definitely a concern for a studio at VGF. First week in December a few years it has been tough at 8AM; but oddly enough it isn't an issue every December though.I walked a VGF reservation for spring break in March 2019 because the boards made it seem like I needed to walk a standard studio at VGF, and it was completely unnecessary. Lesson learned for me.
Overall, I don't think walking is a huge issue DVC-wide, but I do think it's a problem at VGF and AKL Value. Luckily, it has not impacted us from being able to get the rooms we want when we want them at those two home resorts. I've seen walking happen in October and December for studios due to the limited # of them. I don't really have any solutions though because anything implemented would have other side effects DVC-wide or it would try to solve an issue only at a few select resorts and I don't see DIsney taking the effort to do so.
I do think DIsney should change the time to book. 8AM is an "OK" time for those of us on the east coast, but it's too early for other parts of the country. Why not make it 10AM? Whether it's 8AM or 10AM, I'm likely at work, but 5AM is sorta brutal for our friends out west.
