It's now 5.30pm in Australia but I don't imagine that is much help to you, so it is about 6 hours after SirSlys last post.

I would say it is not a quality issue you are pulling rooms outside of flex. I still think a 2 bedroom in the summer could be tough. I put in a request for a 2 bedroom in January last year for June 2009 ... did not get it within a month I changed to a studio and still never got it. I hope you get what your looking for. At least your exchange is in a lot sooner than mine was.

As others have said - you have the 'power' to pull DVC- it is your time frame that is difficult. I am assuming you are trying for the kids school vacation?
I suggest letting it ride until after the first of the year.....at that time, you could make a back up, cancelable reservation somewhere and then just narrow your search for the one week you really want (and have airfare for).
There is always a possibility you will get a match even up to one month before - the good news is you can ALWAYS get something nice in Orlando even a few weeks out.

[bnoble Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close bnoble]

Yep, looks like you're in good shape. Now, it's just hurry-up-and-wait. I might even go as late as March for booking airfare. Until then, be as flexible with the weeks you request as possible. For example, if you have no other major plans for Summer '09, put your entire vacation range in as possible dates.
