I have been in the process of reserving my stay at Disney’s Boardwalk Villas this week. As a member of Disney Vacation Club with a primary ownership at the Boardwalk, I have an eleven month booking window. Other owners from other locations would only be able to reserve a stay at my home resort beginning at a seven month booking window. That gives me four months head start. So you think I would have some time, right?
Wrong.
Locations and specific room categories generally go exactly at the eleven month window. When I book, I can book eleven months out for a block of seven days. However, I usually stay down there for twelve or thirteen days. Therefore, each morning at exactly 7:00 a.m. (8:00 a.m. EST), I have to book an extra day until my entire vacation is complete. I have been booking those extra days this week. I have tomorrow and Saturday to go and then my stay for January 5-17 will be complete.
I will be staying at a one bedroom standard view room. I’m looking forward to being down there again and hope that I don’t have the weather issues I encountered this year. I also hope that Florida will actually be a bit warmer and sunnier next year. At that time of year, you take what you get. And warm/sunny or cold/rainy, at least it’s away on vacation. 🙂
