Hey - I was hoping coming on here would be helpful. I was just checking on this as well. (Was looking at maybe getting two value rooms for February break (15th-23rd) next year - want to invite another family but this is only way we would have enough points.) I noticed that not only are STUDIOS completely unavailable at 11 months + 7 days, but so are 1-BDS.
I just called Member Services myself to confirm
@Greg36 - and they could not confirm - in fact he said "They just must be booked up." However, I don't believe this is the case. There's no way that you would ever see these completely 100% gone for January - including 7 days past the 11 month mark. Wish I knew how long they will be out of commission. I'll be keeping a close eye on this.
