Where do you start though? I was checking our November VGF booking about a week out and wouldn't have been able to walk at that point because the first day was constantly unavailable. I did manage to get in the day before I wanted and walked out of panic. I wouldn't have been able to get the few days before our stay without walking for well over a week.

I’ve only ever walked to VGC because it such a hard resort to get into. Usually 2 weeks before I want to go, if a date is open then I book from then then call each day to amend. Now I’ve not stayed there for 4 years and haven’t used the online booking system for amendments (didn’t know you could) but if I need to them I will walk. Never had to for bay lake though which is my home resort.
We go less and less now, our annual trips have turned into every 3/4 years. First trip home will be next Nov, our first since 2017. |

There were people walking as early as September for December reservations this year at difficult to get resorts - due to food and wine and then the Christmas stuff (not just Christmas itself but the ‘cheap’ pointwise early December dates to see all of the decorations etc). It just creates huge problems and a false sense of panic (ie people were panicking about food and wine reservations, that subsequently opened up, once the early Dec walkers had passed those dates - that in turn creates panic about actual Christmas reservations, as those waiting for late Dec see that there are no openings for them, so jump in early too!).
We are planning a one off extended family trip to celebrate a 60th birthday on NYE, so I’m willing to walk but I just can’t compete with those time periods (forget being willing - I’m not able, due to my Dec UY) ☹️ |

Highlighting my lack of the DVC, I thought this was a thread about crisps

Locked out again, 7th and 8th showing as unavailable. Give it an hour and I bed the 7th will become available as people walk one day on.
Very frustrating!
