thanks so much. We are in contract with SSR (which we love) but at least once a year we would like to have 1 week in AKV _club for my child Bday. I will be totally buying in AKV some points in a close future ( if I can find it..hehe)

Can you track the studios in club level for AKV? just very curious. (at least I know the savanna is available)

I actually kept a spreadsheet for January 2016 onward looking at when things have booked using the resort availability tool blocking out dates when they become unavailable and noting the date when that happens. I haven't tracked cancellations (too much of a hassle) but it does kind of show trends of how people book things. I would be happy to share it as well.

AKV Club Studios and 2 Bedrooms are usually booked the day they become available at the 11th month mark. Often times they are walked and cannot even be booked at the 11 month mark. At the 7 month mark you are almost always looking at cancelled reservations. In fact the only time in January Studios or 2 bedroom club level rooms were available significantly after the 11 month window were January 30 and 31st. January 30th was booked on March 10th. January 30th lasted until April 26th. Why did those dates last so long? I suspect that because there 11 month date did not occur until February 1st (when February 1st 2016 also became available) and those dates sort of got lost in the shuffle -a quirk in the 11 month system.

Thanks this a great visual. It makes clear the difficulty in walking for certain studios after Aug.

I am using the resort availability tool right at the 7 months mark in the morning around 8:30 am.

Lamima · 05-05-2015, 04:24 PM

Thanks for that data. I am glad we added on at BWV for F&W trips as we most definitely need to book before the 7 month window.

Thank you!!

Looks like GFV studios are pretty much a no go much of the year. BCV studios are gone 90% of the time, and from late sept through mid December, you can't get BCV or BWV. I just looked on a cursory level but that's year it looks like?

Is that 4/22 a typo? We are in process of buying resale at BCV. What are the chances of getting a BCV studio the 2nd or 3rd week of April if I am at 8 months? My worst worst worst case scenario for the process of resale to be completed puts me at 8 months. Much chance??

The 4/22 date is the date one can book at 7 months out...book that Thanksgiving week. April is flower and garden show at Epcot and spring break time...but 8 months out is better than 7 months or less. The studios book fast though.

BWV grand villas are totally worth the 8:00AM call 11 months out. But definitely don't wait until 8:01 AM!
