Reminds me how a lot of people will book multiple dining reservations at the 6 month window and cancel the ones they do not want the night before. It is annoying as a Passholder that doesn’t plan more than a month or two out. At least we have found a lot of reservations open up in the 24 hour window after everyone cancels to not get the cancellation fee.
I just wanted to say I love this show and all the great information. It’s a life goal of mine to eventually join DVC, it’ll probably be a while before I can take the plunge but I figured it’s never too early to get prepared.
This is not fair. Charge $50 to change a reservation and the $50 goes to the maintenance fee account, not Disney. The fees would help reduce costs to all the owners.
This is one of the greatest 'Cons' of the DVC program. Sure having points to rent "at your will" is nice, but I know I want to vacation at x time, I don't want to see my 11 month window booked because of someone else walking past my reservation to get to their "desired" spot. Nor do i want to start booking my vacation 14 months out and walk it to my actual time.
Maybe this is a good reason not to buy? What’s the point of buying if you can’t use what you’ve paid for? If you are flying in this may or may not work. It sounds less flexible than just reserving a hotel room. I have had to split my Rez with a value resort and it takes half a day to have to check out and re check in. It puts your vacation on hold while your bustle juggling.
Airlines charge you for changing bookings and if people are not carefully Disney will see this as a way to make more money from DVC guests, as always the few will spoil it for the many. Personally I think you should be able to change a booking date once or twice per booking per 12 calendar months to ensure that where “life” gets in the way of your Disney holiday you have some flexibility.
This is what keeps me from buying DVC. We don’t need or want a 1 bedroom, and I don’t want to have to stress and strategize this hard to get the room category I want at my resort. I would love Copper Creek but there is no way I am going to invest in it and have to fight this fight.
If you want a 1 bedroom then you won't have too much trouble at most places. But if you want a standard view studio at BW, BC or BL then it is simply not worth the hassle. Its really cut throat.
@@FrankwhiteclawFor the time of year that I would book (after thanksgiving-first half of Dec), there was zero availability for CC studios. I was tracking the availability every day leading up to the 11 month window thinking I would try and rent points.
I have to admit this was something I was not aware of. We own at Boardwalk for the purpose of staying during Food and Wine. We book a studio and I have *never* been able to get a standard view for my desired week at 11 months. I have enough points to stay in a garden or pool view room, so that's what we do, but hearing this it does make me angry that this loophole exists. I don't think I could do this walking process - like Jackie said, there's a lot of real life issues that can come up that get in the way of going online or calling multiple times for one reservation- I work, I have a family - this is not a practical option for me. I make an appointment to be on my computer at 8 am on the 11 month window day - I don't think it's fair that because of this loophole I will constantly be shut out of the lower point rooms. I guess next year I'll try Pete's suggestion of looking backwards at 11 months and 6 or 7 days days, but again - that's another appointment I'll have to put on the calendar. Disney should close this loophole and make it fair for everyone.
We’ve never walked. We used to be a studio family because there is only 3 of us. In our last visit, we couldn’t get studio space at either Boardwalk or OKW at 11 months. We had plenty of points, so we went with a 1 bedroom. One bedrooms are fantastic! We haven’t been back to a studio since
I really like this channel, your opinions are very close to mine in my limited times there. Even though your opinion about Celebrations HOA being a deal killer for yourself, I still look very forward to living there.
lots of people must be doing it. Akl all the values, concierge and low point studios at 11 months on the opening dot the availability was exactly this...
Buy double the points at Saratoga or OKW and book 1 beds. You can get anywhere virtually all the time, even at 7 months. No need to waste time walking, you get a much better room with living room and kitchen and it won’t cost you much more than buying the latest resort direct. If you want a studio and can get one at 11/ 7 months, then rent the excess points to pay the dues on both the rental portion and the portion you have booked- no cost room then. Win/ win. 1 beds at DVC are the way to go. Copper Creek has shocking availability because DVC loaded so many points onto cabins for big profits, and the cabins are thus unpopular with most buyers wanting regular rooms, to ridiculously expensive cabins. Then watch out- to balance the demand they can increase the points on regular rooms shifting points from cabins to regular rooms.
Since the Villas at the Grand Californian only have two Grand Villas walking a reservation is often needed. If you want to get the Grand Villa that faces The World of Color, then you really need to walk a reservation.
Rooms are difficult to come by as it is, this just makes it more difficult and more frustrating and favors owners that have a substantial amount of points. Especially owners who use their points as a business and reserve these popular rooms and that weeks.
I don’t own at Grand Cal but we’ve been very lucky getting rooms there. We just came back from a week in mid May. I think we got lucky with people waiting until Galaxy edge opened.
I'm locked into my vacation at wdw. As a dvc member since 2008. I have found available rooms even at 11 months out tough. Resorts like poly ruins available rooms. I'll walk a reservation with no issues
Sometimes adding on a night at a value or moderate to make vacation points and date availability works best for traveling families who can only vacation certain times a year. As a teacher, my family has to plan around my time off. If that means spending $150 at a value resort for one evening to get the week and resort I want, it’s a win for me. I don’t think it negates my purchase of DVC at all. I’ve never gotten a waitlist either, Pete!
wouldn't the same process work for fast passes let's say to pandora passages? that are so hard to get? idk - just so frustrating to get even a fast pass now a days ..
The problem with walking is it forces all owners to invest that time playing games if they ever want one of the more popular rooms/dates. A bump up to 1BR usually finds availability where studios had none but 1BR is also TWICE the points. I think the loophole could be closed if first they better balanced the points between Studio & 1BR and the other high/low demand categories.
I have never done this or heard of it. At 11 months out I have never had an issue. We usually book a 2 bedroom sometime a 2 bedroom and a studio at Beach Club. We have gone all times of the year except the summer. I'm not getting why you would start it so far out. Why not just a week? Sounds like a big pain in the butt. Great show.
My wife and I looked at joining DVC in the past AND on out Mardi Gras trip, but our reason for NOT joining is because things aren't available 11 months out.
This will be a snow ball run away effect . The more people who do this will cause even more people to do it. Disney needs to stamp this behaviour out ASAP.
I will add another layer to the practice of "walking" a reservation. There are several DVC owners that do this at desirable (AKL and BW) resorts during popular/hard to reserve times (Food & Wine, Christmas, etc) with the intention of securing a reservation so they can rent a confirmed reservation instead of renting points. Not only is this commonly happening, they are commanding well over market value for rental points. It's very easy to see this in practice on many of the Facebook DVC rental groups. It's easy to see that with only a handful of these desirable studios available the problem gets magnified pretty quickly. I have never walked a reservation (or rented points, for that matter), but like others have mentioned the more people that walk reservations the more it will cause others to have to start doing it as well.
@@julialoehlein9778 Yes, that is exactly what is happening. Owners rent out a confirmed reservation that is transferred to the renters name. This practice runs rampant on the "DVC Member Point Exchange and Rental" Facebook group.
I really wish DVC would reconfigure their 1 bdrms. Make them two queens, not a king (which is very limiting) and make the living area with the pull down sofa bed like the one in the new Riviera which is more like a real bed. It's frustrating.
We own at GCA and I can book at 11 months with no problems. But you’re so right about people waking the 7 months - our friends own at BL and they had to make single night reservations and waitlist to cobble together a studio stay.
@@juliamoore6209 I've attempted to book GCA 6 times in 2 years and each time there's availability the day befor but when I wake up and check before the flood gates open the spots are gone.
This is why I spent 200$ a point so I could book at the 11 month mark at VGC. I dont need a bunch of points for a Florida DVC when I only want to go to Disneyland
Great video! I can relate to this so well, I often carry my cane without using it. It’s also a great tool to have for the opportunity to educate the sighted. You’re amazing. Keep putting out these great videos.
Im still not sure if i get it. Is this something you do at your own resort at 11 months? Is that necessary? Or is this mostly done when you want a room at a resort where you don't own? Help me out, i'm still confused
Julia Loehlein In your own resort, at 11 months, for low inventory specific rooms categories. For example, we needed 2 OKW Grand Villas in the Hospitality House area. There are only two. We had the option of walking or taking the chance they would both be available on booking day.
I too have had great results on wait lists. Two yrs ago my dad was hospitalized the week before my vacation. I was able to book the same trip just later that year. I am a very happy DVC member. My hubby and I ( only) are going on the 10 day Trans Atlantic cruise in Sept. and our family vaca is a wk in Boardwalk in June.
I’m not a DVC owner yet but wow, this sounds time consuming and just too much work for me. I get it that the Epcot resorts are popular for food and wine etc but this just feels kinda shady. If someone wants to do this in order to get their room, go for it, but I ain’t got time for that!

If Disney wanted to prevent this manipulation, they could require you can only "walk", after a 7 day wait past the 11 month window. Which would allow people who wanted to book that week, the same chance, without, the walker "blocking" out the res. I think this would not be great since it would remove the flexibility that DVC affords us. This would be a throwing out the baby with the bathwater scenario, since sometimes people need to move their reservation for legitimate reasons like work schedules, school events etc. Walkers do benefit those who want 1-3 day vacations like Pete, because they create those segments by this walking strategy.

Yes, or they could offer one complimentary reservation modification and then subsequent changes would be $100. If you are modifying reservations to walk this would get expensive real quick.

We have walked nearly every reservation for the last 10 years. The reason is we have a large family, with very specific rooms that fit us, and need very specific dates. If this was taken away, I might sell back my dvc
You need a vacation from just planning a Disney vacation! 🤪🤪 Its getting to a point to where we ask ourselves, Is this worth it?lol
