BLT Booking Window for a Non-DVC Member

[WDITrent]

Hello, everyone, a couple of other BLT questions. There is an 11 month booking window, but are non-DVC members/BLT owners limited to the 7 month window? Also, how much luck would I have if I requested a certain area of rooms at the 7 month mark (for instance, standard view 1BR between 7204 and 7512)? Thanks.

Non DVC members can pay to stay at the % of rooms at every resort set aside for use by them what pays, this I assume can be done anytime as its what Ive done to stay at the treehouses.

The windows relate only to DVC members and means at 7 months I can ask for a room at a DVC resort that I haven't bought into.

Popular resorts usually have no or limited availability at 7 months, but some times you can be lucky. As a paying guest it probably easier to get a room as the price would put many people off. That said my eldest has just switched from POFQ to Old Key West and she travels the week after we do.

So then, I would be able to book 11 months in advance? What are my chances of getting a 1 Bedroom standard room villa from then? Thanks for responding, by the way.

If your booking as joe public using money, yes you can book as soon as they release room rates. Over here that could be as much as 14 - 16 months ahead.

Thanks for the help. So the rates are not available right now, but I should keep checking.
