A few years ago, I was able to book a week at VB in an OVR at 7 months. The reservation was for July though.

I don't know if they could sell it at $200 per point. But I do think they will be high. The point chart should be very interesting as well.

Glad to the addition of the GFV. I do agree that the point chart will likely be high compared to other resorts. With those few villas and the premium resort, they can demand a higher point price. I...

Congratulations and welcome home! OKW is a wonderful place to vacation. We love it there.

When you book, be sure that you book a lockoff 2 br. Tell MS that you want the 1 br portion for longer. They should be able to link the two reservations as one and you should be fine. If you are...

I am biased, but i would say to go with AKV. The location is fine, it just feels like you are in another world, which is great. The feel and look of the resort is stunning, great restaurants, 2...

There aren't that many value villas. They only occupy one side of the Ostrich and Giraffe trails with the exception of 2 2br lockoffs.

They are very difficult to get unless you own points there....

congrats on the upcoming wedding and your first DVC trip! There is no better place to honeymoon, DW and I did that in 1993.

everyone has given great advice. We joined DVC in 2007 and now own at AKV and BWV. It is just the 2 of us. And we love it. We go twice a year. Heed the advice of what others have said here. If you...

You can't go wrong with either. We own at both and like them both. I am one who does not believe that AKV is far away from anything. It just feels like you get away from everything. I would go with...

We also love OKW. And the rooms are almost all finished being refurbished. The 1 bedroom is huge, and the resort location is great. We don't own there, but try to stay there every few trips because...

congrats on passing ROFR and welcome to Intercot! That is a great deal.

It is often said, and i will say it again--Buy where you want to stay. We own at AKV and have a small contract at BWV. We own at these resorts because we like to stay at them. Sounds simple, but it...

All of the value villas at AKV are in Jambo. They are located on the Giraffe and Ostrich trails at the front of the resort.

The vast majority of the rooms that face the parking lot on the 5th...

I didn't know that there was free wifi at Kidani. I knew that there was some in the lobby area, but is it also in the rooms?

We are AKV owners and love it. I agree that concierge level will be difficult at 7 months. But the entire resort is incredible. We have stayed at Jambo and Kidani, and Kidani is usually our...

Congrats on paying off your initial contract. And at $97 you only paid $1 more per point than we did in 2007.

Both of our add ons are through DVC. It was easy, quick, and all are sub contracts of...

I agree that the end date of the contract should be considered. OKW, BCV, BWV, and VWL all expire in 2042. SSR in 2054, AKV in 2057, and BLT in 2060. There are some OKW contracts with a 2057...

We also love OKW. We will be there later this year. Huge rooms, great feel, very relaxing, boat to DTD, short bus rides.

We love taking walks around the resort, eating at Olivia's and hanging...

AKV is a large resort with both Jambo House and Kidani Village, You can probably get a standard view at 5 months. But why wait for 5 months out if you can book at 7 and increase your chances?

Jim, the comparison is different based on whether the standard view 2 br is at Jambo or Kidani.

First, the value category is only at Jambo. The 2 br will be a lockoff, as they all are there. The...

What is your home resort? You really shouldn't have an issue at the 11 month window. Relax, and happy planning! And Welcome Home!

Congrats on the add on! We own at AKV and are planning on a BWV add on later this year so that we can get a reservation during food and wine.

I say you should definitely keep Narccossee's and Jiko on the list. I would say lose Brown Derby.

Yes! That is the best way to waitlist. Book your home resort. That guarantees that you will have a place to stay.

Of course, you are now within the 7 month window, which means that you can...
