Aulani in July at 7 Month Window

[stevevm]

How hard is it to get Aulani 2-Bedroom of any type in July at the 7 Month window?
I see June at the 7-Month window is filling up.

Just curious

This was our experience in 2019 booking for July 2020 which never happened because of Covid so take it with a grain of salt. But, we were able to book two 2-BRs for 7/10-7/17 without any issue. The standar view and island view were spotty but had no problem getting the pool and OV categories. These categories did start to book up within about a week or 2 after we had our plans set though.
The first week of July (mainly July 4th) was booked before the 7 month window was available. I paid a lot of attention leading up to and had the same concern seeing June book up quick but July went a little slower at the pool and OV categories.

June 7 through about July 5 is Aulani's second highest DVC demand time of the year (time around Christmas and New Years is the highest). The rest of July is more open. Standard view is typically gone but ocean view is almost invariably open. Pool/garden view and Island/garden view are somewhat more iffy but what often happens is that at least one of those is open for a period when the other is not. Note, however, there is pandemic issue for 2022, where owners of Aulani have a lot of banked points to use because Aulani was closed for a long time, and thus more rooms may fill before 7-months out than usual.
