we were going to lose 30 points if we didn't go by xmas, so we made reservations for december 5-8 to attend our bwv meeting on the 6th. we couldn't get into bwv at all as they said they were booked because of the meeting but also because of walt's 100th b-day celebration. after a certain amount of time, dvc relinquishes any vacancies so other non-dvc people can use the dvc designated acoomodations.
we are now staying at coronado springs. we could have also stayed at carib. beach or port orleans.
i would call everyday if you have too because i'm sure people are cancelling for one reason or another.
good luck!
