Ok, first off I know I have a couple of factors working against me.
Brief history, we are spending 3 days after the Member Cruise at WDW and booked ASMo since we don't have any 07 points left. Didn't think about borrowing 08 points because we were going to use most of them in April next year for an extended family trip.
Well yesterday while doing dishes I decided to cut the Friday night out on the 2 bedroom we were going to use so I could have the points for a studio for the 3 night stay in October. I am so cruel, only taking them for 5 nights instead of 6
Ok, so I call MS today and I realize 1 - It's F/W and close to Halloween and 2 - It is only 12.5 weeks away from when we need to go. I thought for sure I would be able to get a studio at SSR and I could waitlist somewhere else, just to take a chance and see what happens.
Well to my surprise only 1 resort had 2 of my 3 nights available - and it wasn't SSR, it was OKW! I thought for sure SSR being the largest and always putting rooms online that we could get something but nope. So I got the 26th and 27th at OKW and have waitlisted for the 25th. Plus for kicks and giggles I waitlisted the entire stay at either VWL, BC or BWV - just basically to see what happens.
Again, yes I know it was for 12 weeks out (3 months), but looks like SSR isn't always going to be the short notice resort.
