Polynesian full?

[Heelz2315]

Trying to get a week planned for Thanksgiving and the Polynesian (where we really wanted to stay) has no availability. Anyone got any tricks to scoring a standard view room if it's booked? Will they open more rooms up as we get closer?

Thanksgiving is rough. Have you tried calling? It has happened to me that there was availability over the phone and not the site.

I did, called last night and got they had the same info. Full. I wish there was a way to know if something opened up. Like a notification or something.

I wonder if you called and booked another resort and put a note on the reservation to notify you. I'm not sure if that's even possible, but it can't hurt to ask.

So you're trying to book one of the most sought after resorts less than 4 months out???? During one of the most sought after times???

I can and have before.....and gotten in. Matter of fact when the wife and I started discussing it Sunday it was open. We just waited a day or so too late I guess.

Have you looked on any of the DVC rental sites?

 

[Heelz2315]

I haven't, not sure how that works

 

[Penny’s Dad]

Individuals that have extra DVC points sell them to these sites and you can purchase from them for whatever days you need. A couple are dvcrentalstore.com and dvcrequest.com. You can sometimes fine the days you need at a much lower cost. The Polynesian is one of the resorts that have dvc rooms.
