Welcome Home, Rosemary! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney--it's the best day ever when I get to meet a fellow
Disney Vacation Club Member! I'm ready to go the distance to help make your vacation as magical as can be.
One of my favorite things about DVC is being able to stay at lots of different resorts. Of course, my heart belongs to our Home Resort,
Disney's Polynesian Villas & Bungalows, but sometimes we like to enjoy a Savanna View at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas - Kidani Village or stay at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa to be close to the fun at
Disney Springs.
OK, so let's review the booking windows for a Home Resort versus another DVC property. For your Home Resort of Saratoga Springs, you can book within the
Home Resort Priority Period 11 months before your planned check-in date. For your March 2025 arrival, this would be
April 22, 2024.
To snag the rooms you're hoping for at
Disney's BoardWalk Villas, you can book 7 months before your check-in date, which will be
August 22, 2024. I recommend logging on the Member website before 8:00 AM that morning so you'll be ready to pounce on that reservation!
Before August rolls around, it's a good idea to check availability at the BoardWalk periodically. If your preferred accommodations are booked up, you can always make a reservation at Saratoga for your trip before your 7-month window opens, then create a Waitlist for BoardWalk at the 7-month mark. Guests' plans change all the time, so we'll wish on the evening star that things line up for your travel plans!
Rosemary, I hope this information helps you with your planning. If you have more questions, my favorite pastime is talking about all things Disney Vacation Club, so don't hesitate to
reach out to me directly. Thanks again for visiting planDisney!
Stay Magical!
Susan
