Lagoon studio availability

Hi All,

I just got access to log into HGVC and I noticed that Lagoon Studios are a very rare find. Is this always the case? Or is it because members are using their points before they expire? When would be the best to book it? I see there are none available for a week even to the 9 month mark.

Thanks,
Ryan

In general, Lagoon studios book up very quickly. I would suggest the same day it is available to book, book it.

I just saw your post on the thread about the computer issues. You should be aware also, that in addition to revolution not loading correctly right now, I have had problems seeing studios at HHV Lagoon tower at all using classic. I called, because I didn't see how they could be not showing ANY availability for the entire 9 months and beyond ---- and the agent said she could see some. This was a few months ago.

So I know at times what is showing to me isn't correct even on classic. If there is something you want, give them a call and see.

there are three next August, there arent that many, they go fast. there are a few open season nights too. look at Aug 22 check in, start with 3nights, Lagoon is Sat check in so the weeks open up at midnight.01 276 days prior to the check out date. if you search for 7 you may miss them, people book 3 nights then "walk" the reservation to 7 by calling in and adding nights. you have to book lagoon tower right at 9 months in summer peak season, like midnight eastern time.

I can see them in Classic, try searching for Sat check ins at nine months when the weeks get loaded.

Thanks SmithOP. Is there a fee for adding nights to an existing online reservation when I call in?

No because we no longer can do it online. You only need to do it every two days, not every day, because minimum booking is three days.

I'm having an issue seeing ANYTHING on classic right now, everything is blank. Also revolution isn't loading past the zero screen for me at all. I have emailed tech support. This isn't the first time this has happened to me. I've used 2 different computers and 3 different browsers. I tried today again - it's been over the past couple of weeks and I've only been able to get on and see any availability maybe twice in that time.

In classic, at least I can see the open season list, but nothing else.

What browser are you using? I've tried explorer, chrome, and safari.

All online reservations are changeable, no additional fee, even if you have to call in to add days because you couldn't do it online.

I use Chrome on iPad to view Classic, if I have to use Revolution I use Chrome on Windows 7 desktop machine.

Two studios got snagged, only 1 left for the week that is coming into the 9 month window.

I'll be looking for either September of next year (gold season) or March of 2016. I was curious though, as I just become a member on Friday and was concerned I wouldn't be able to get my bookings or use my points how I pictured I would be able to. Also, I'm missing an RCI link. Is there an issue on the website? I called in the girl on the support line said an RCI link should be found under "My Club"

RCI shows up a few weeks after you get online access, i posted a picture in another thread showing the red ball.

you have to understand the HGVC sliding reservation window for club booking, for Lagoon if you are not an owner there you have to grab them as soon as the window opens. If you wait until later, then you have to get lucky and catch a cancellation or bits and bobs in open season. You can see from my screen shot that Aug is booked for all sizes already.
