There’s enough rooms for every DVC member to use three years of points over a rolling three year period, but certainly not once per year. This is spread out over seasons but also over bank/borrow.I agree. 7 months is MINIMUM. You won't get many properties at 7 months, but you can probably still get a few decent options. Soon after that, you seriously will be left with NO choices.
If you really want a good option, in a typical 'popular' season (and there are no un-popular seasons at Disney World), then you seriously need to plan 11 months in advance, if possible. There are enough rooms for ALL the DVC members, once per year, but the real use is not spread out evenly, and it makes it difficult to just choose a time and place, unless you book very early and beat everyone else to the punch.
Normally this balances out. My guess is that won’t be the case in 2020 after SWL opens in Dec, 2019.
My guess is for the entire year of 2020, members will bank and borrow into the year, creating a colossal traffic jam. The normal “DVC slow season” earlier in the year will probably have more booking pressure than typical of Fall Frenzy.
I think we’ll see new meaning to ‘buy where you want to stay’ and book right at 11 months. And I DO think 2020 will be a game of musical chairs with some members wanting to come but when the music stops, all the chairs are full. (I doubt there’ll still be music at 7 months).
That’s gonna be hard on members. It’s going to be double hard on people used to renting reservations.
