My friends and I are going to Disney and wanted to stay at a DVC either one or two bedroom. It will be 4 of us. We put in 2 dates in August of 2017 because one of my friends and I start back in College in the 28th.

Thank you.

I put in all the disney resorts that rci has available as my parents have enough points for a 2 bedroom at Bay lake.


Think dates were 12th or 13th and the following weekend 18th or 19th

Disney adds their deposits to RCI about 5+ months ahead of check-in. So don't expect to see anything for a good while. Your chances of getting a 1BR at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort for your dates are quite good, so I would be patient with this.

OTOH, the chances of getting a 2BR DVC are extremely slim, as we have not seen mention of one since late 2014. 1BR deposits from most other DVC resorts are very sparse. But at this time, SSR confirmations are not unusual and your 2-week range of dates in August is not bad. So I'd just leave the Ongoing Search running and wait. If no match by mid- to late-April, I'd consider alternatives, but not before. By then, there will likely be special offers on cash nights for August as well, so you probably don't need much of a back-up plan either. Hope that helps.

We also went to WDW on a month's notice in August and used our DVC points for a one bedroom at AKV. Also available for that time period were SS and OKW. But then again, these were DVC points and not an RCI exchange, so I am not sure what choice, if any you will have.
