I was checking this board to see if other people were having problems making reservations. From the minute my contract was completed, I tried to make reservations and there is NEVER availability. None, zero.
I'm lodging a formal complaint with the DVC. They either need to release more rooms or provide an option to cancel the contract.
We had no problem booking at 7 month window.
We bought the first week it was offered for sale. Then tried to book for the week after the grand opening. Nothing, completely booked (and scratching our heads at how that was possible, only to be told they planned a "limited release" of rooms). Our son tried again for October. Nothing. We tried for December. Nothing. We tried for February. Nothing. I just tried for May. Nothing. Had I know it was going to be so "limited" I honestly would not have purchased there.

What the CM told me was that a lot of "wishfull" booking occurs. People will book at their 11 month window at their home resort so they have a place to stay. Then when the 7 month rolls around they rebook at where they really want to stay. This is what opens up rooms at the 7 month mark. It sounds plausible to me, and I'm banking on it so we get our full stay at GF!
This makes sense... We own at BLT and booked 3 weeks at the 11 month window.
At 7 months we swapped out 2 weeks, one to VGF and the other to AKV.
We love BLT, but fancied a change.
Has anyone stayed at the GF DVC side yes. Myself and my DH purchased into GF last year but haven't stayed yet!
