Hello everyone! My wife and I are new RCI Platinum members and just booked our first points vacation. We are staying in a 2 BR at Sheraton Vistana Villas near Disney. When booking online we were able to choose other resorts as possible upgrades as the time got closer (June 3-10) so we selected 5 of the nicer Disney reosorts like Yacht Club, Beach Club, Bay Lake Towers and Animal Kingdom Lodge. We were curious if we had any chance of getting these Disney resorts as an upgrade - seems too good to be true that we can go from the Sheraton Vistana to a marquee resort on Disney property. Anyone here get upgraded from a non-Disney to a Disney Resort?

That’s what I figured but wanted to ask anyway. My long shot hope was that since it technically isn’t summer break for most schools across the USA we may catch a break the first week in June.

We actually only live about 40 minutes from WDW but love staying there - even living so close when you spend the night it truly feels like vacation. Plus we have a 1 and 3 year old so we really can’t travel too far away with them yet. Thanks for the reply and if by any stroke of luck I get on WDW property I’ll let y’all know!

2BRs are pretty much unheard of for the last few years. Even if you were in a 1BR, the availability of late has been almost entirely at SSR and OKW. Check out the sightings forum in the 2018 DVC thread to see what's been seen lately.

Sightings forum is only accessible to tug members; OP shows up as a guest. I’ve found membership worthwhile personally, but that’s up to each individual. If he’s already joined, there’s an additional step to update the profile one this part of the bbs.
