Well, first off, what resorts and are you looking for DVC rooms?
Beach Club is the preference. Sorry I didn’t mention that in my original post.
Hmm, both a regular 2 bedroom and 2 bedroom lock-off are both available the first week of July. What dates are you looking for?
Maybe this matters and I should have clarified, but we are not DVC members. I was just checking on the Disney site and it’s showing no 2-bedrooms.
DVC Owners tend to book either Studios or 2-bedrooms, leaving a lot of 1-bedroom inventory. Those are what you're most likely to find booking direct from Disney, especially at the lower-capacity DVC resorts.
Thank you for that advice, much appreciated!
The regular Disney site won't get many 2 bedrooms at all since most of those are booked by members close to the 11 month window, which are now open for the beginning of July.
Makes sense, thank you.
That is true.
Thanks so much for that info! I am learning a lot today, unfortunately it isn’t what I was hoping to hear, lol!That is true.
However Disney can use their 2-3% of points to take whatever rooms they want to at the 11 month mark. In that sense they are in the same position as any other owner.
That said they don’t take many 2-beds; I’ve always assumed that’s because they can take more rooms if they stick to studios and 1-beds.
They never take lock-off 2-bedroom villas either, which is why 2-beds never show up on the Disney site at BWV or AKL-Jambo.
It depends on which resort, the age of the 3rd guest and personal preference.
I wish my son was as agreeable as your kids appear to be, lol! He will be 16, btw.
This is the reason for sure! Historically my friends who booked DVC via Disney, say that 1 bedrooms tend to be the most common to find, even over studios. No coincidence IMO given they are the last to bookThat is true.

As a 2 bedroom dweller they are not booked that fast. GVs and studios definitely go first. 2 bedrooms at many resorts can be found at 7 months most part of the year. That's how we've stayed all over with only RR left on my list. 1 beds are easiest though
Mixed results. For 1 it is usually doable. You can ask for egg crate toppers or put the mattress directly on the the floor as often it's the supports that stink in our experience.
