Experience booking at 7 months at BWV

[Stitch 03]

I am planning on visiting WDW during the F&W festival next year. I would like to spend the second half of my trip at the BWV. So I am interested in the results of this survey. However, I do have one other question:

At the seven month window for the F&W festival, or early December, what is easier to get - a standard view or boardwalk view?

I expect when time comes to book I will have to utilize the waitlist. So it would be nice to know if I have a better chance waiting for a standard view or boardwalk view.

Note - I did not mention the preferred view as I would like to have a boardwalk view. However, if that is not available then I may choose to save the points and go with the standard view.

My guess is that they may be about equally difficult. I think you can waitlist for both??? Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

I guess we had a lot of Pixie Dust. We booked a BWV standard view 1 bedroom just after 7 months had opened up for April 2005 (school vacation). We even got a dedicated 1br 3121 with a terrific balcony spanning the living room and bedroom. I'll just have to realize that may never happen again.

It will probably happen again in 2008. I think that's the next time Easter falls in March. Most of the country seems to have a week(s) around Easter off except for us in the northeast. We were able to get a great rate on a 7 day cruise last April during our school vacation week because most of the country was back in school by then.

1 BR's are also the room most likely to be available at a DVC resort. They seem to be the last to go. Studios seem to be the first to go.
