I think Copper Creek studios have become one of the hardest to get. Funny, BRV tends to have plenty of availability.
Copper Creek availability of studios at 11-months out has, over the last few years, progressively gotten worse, going from being an issue that existed just sometimes during the super-high demand fall season (late Sep to marathon weekend in Jan) to being an issue throughout the fall season and now at numerous times during the rest the year. It is now behind only AKV value and club level, and BWV standard view, studios as being the hardest studios to get at 11-months out, actually surpassing the like problem for BLT standard studios within the last year or so.
Original BRV owners all bought into a resort that had just studios,1BRs and 2BRs, when the minimum point purchase requirement was 160 points, and new purchase prices were actually reasonable, with the result that there was not any real "oversell" of studios by selling huge numbers of points applicable to other size rooms to members that would purchase only enough to usually get studios.
The opposite has happened at CCV. When CCV sales began and for a substantial time thereafter, the minimum purchase to new members was only 75 points, and is now only 100, and thus a minimum purchase level for enough points to usually get only studios. Moreover, DVD included in the resort a large number of very high point cabins, for which few can afford to purchase enough points to use, but providing DVD with the ability to sell a lot of extra points to those who purchased enough just to get studios. The result: (a) the studios now have high excess demand year round: (b) DVD has costly cabins that are very often still open at the 60-day breakage period, allowing DVD to rent them for profit (except for a low potion of which goes to offset dues): and (c) that profit is maximized by having members pay about 96% of the annual maintenance fees and taxes related to the cabins, thus reducing Disney's cost of the rentals.
