At 8 am on the nose, 11 months in advance could not get the first day of a standard view 2 bedroom at my home resort (BLT) arriving Sun. before Thanksgiving. The first night is unavailable and the rest of days are available. Had to waitlist standard and book lake view to ensure we had something. So, lesson learned: even if one books home resort at 11 month window at 8 am on the dot one is STILL not guaranteed one's preferred reservation! That is super lame, DVC!!!!
