Agree, Disney made a home resort for a reason. People can't expect to be able to have the same rights for non home resorts. Pay for the resort you like. You can't expect to buy into a lower DVC and stay in the more costly DVC.
It's a shame you can't get to book at your home resort. Especially since you tried to book before non-home DVC were allowed to book.
November outside of Christmas week and the first 2 weeks of December are extremely popular DVC times even though they are slower times for WDW in general. Reason being is that the first 2 weeks of Dec are adventure season (lowest point weeks) and November is the next lowest point time (choice season). People who want to book rooms with less points flock to these weeks. There are many DVC owners who either don't have school age kids or are not opposed to taking their kids out of school for a week and with low DVC point rates, low crowds, pleasant weather and the Christmas parades and decorations starting up it is a popular time at DVC.
I agree we bought at beach club cause we love it there. Our parents bought at boardwalk because they love it. Even though boardwalk is only 10 points when we go and Beach club is 15 we chose Beach Club because of our love. I'm not going to pick boardwalk and hope we get beach at the seven month window. Buy where you want to book. We have never had a problem getting what we want at the 11month window...and that's always been a studio.
nope it does not go to the next day at midnight eastern time....Not even at 1 am it very early in the morning just that that early
We do get screwed a lot. As my dad says, "Disney won't give me anything, they already know I'm willing to pay them!" But a lot of times, those rooms will get taken right away. There is limited space available, especially when you own at a specific resort and book at the 11 month window, as my father always does. It just depends. We had a friend call up a few days before his trip and get a room at Kidani Village. But the was in February.
