I got a 10 night reservation in a 1 bedroom at 8 months for Feb 21, 2015, but had to do it right at the minute the reservation opened up at 8 months. It is much harder this year than the years past, most likely to pick up in the economy and banking options.

To get high demand in the future I think owning the resort is what I will do, just too risky and we go every year to Maui (wish I would not have sold my unit at WKORV North).

The drop-down menu only goes up to 21.

Ah, I didn't notice that -- I've only tried checking availability for up to 13day stays so far...

I'm guessing this is a purpose move. If the number of nights was open-ended, owners with a lot of Staroptions could reserve the whole season at popular resorts.
