Hello all!
I apologize in advance the long thread!
We have been doing some checking around on availability boards to to see what our chances are of booking a studio stay for a week at Aulani end October 2024 . We are flexible on dates and views as long as it is after the 19th of the month.
I know none of us has a crystal ball, but trying to see how likely it is that we can get a reservation during this time period (could even be very beginning of November if needed . ) I had been told by a few people we have a pretty good chance , but when I look online at present(just to see how booked it is already by this point in the month this year , the 10-11 of October seems be booked (yes, realize that 11th marks the 11 month window today , but it is JUST the 11th or just 10 and 11, not an entire spread of days.) I was advised that around Columbus day could be difficult, but that would be on a Monday,so just mid- week that week is perplexing. Is this usual for this(these) particular days to be booked solid across all types of studio views? Is this a possible indication that the rest of the month will also booked solid as the days open up or is there something special going on on/around that date?
I know no matter what ,nothing would be a "given" since it is not our home resort and I can't even book until NEXT March anyway, but this is for some special people to celebrate a very a important life event and although they will totally understand it is not a "sure thing", I don't want to get their hopes up if our chances are slim of booking this for them. We will, of course, have a backup plan of booking our home resort at WDW at 11 months ! Thanks in advance for any help/insight you seasoned Aulani travelers /owners can offer us!
