Hi
I thought I would pose this question as for the last 11 years we have been very fortunate to be members of DVC and have visited nearly all the resorts at DW. However it has been annoying at times that when I have tried to book and on many occasions there has only been partial availability. This has meant going on a wait list in hope that a day/ or days becomes available. This is of course because US members and their relatively close proximity to DW are able to make short visits of one to four days, whereas Brits in general visit for at least a week. I do not blame the US members for doing this and I would probably take advantage of this myself. It is just a shame that Disney does not make provision for reserving at least one week windows of opportunity by setting aside a number of rooms until say six months before check in and then open up the reserved rooms for shorter term bookings.
One example I would like to give which has prompted this post is that my DD who has just become a member at GF was unable to get a clear week for the 20 Nov 2015 with a Lake view as Saturday has already gone allowing only six days at the resort (Fr, Su, Mo, Tu, We, Th) and this is with the 11 month window
