Can anybody confirm the time at night when the next day's reservation window opens? I believed it is midnight EST. I searched at exactly midnight EST last night and there were zero reservations available yet shows massive availability for the next three nights. I am wondering if I misunderstood when the window opens.

Nov 13 2019 is a Wednesday. I think only Flex can book reservations at 12 months starting on Wednesday. Is that what you own?

But what do you own and which resort are you trying to book? Most ownerships only allow a full week with a Friday, Saturday, Sunday check in (also resort dependent some are Sat, Sun only) at 12 months. Flex options and home options (Nanea and certain section of WSJ) are the only ownerships that allow a Wednesday check in 12 months in advance.

I was trying to book STJ for July 13 to July 20 using StarOptions ... July 13, 2019 is a Saturday. There are multiple 3 bedroom, 2 bedroom, and Studios available on both July 14, 15, 16 to book with StarOptions.

Did you happen to check yesterday if there was availability for July 13 and then see if it disappeared when you were trying to book?
Midnight is the correct time give or take a minute. You may have to try again tonight for July 14. I usually get on about 5 minutes before but you don't want to refresh too many times before midnight because you end up with the searching circle while everyone else is booking.

The system was glitchy last night and inventory showed up a few minutes later. When you get a weird result or no result, keep trying, becuase reservations often show up or come back, due to immediate cancellations.

One more tip: Before midnight, log out and log back in to clear out any previous searches.

July 13-20 was available for booking about 3 hours ago just by clicking online. I was debating switching my WSJ reservation to that date but decided against it since we will be in Costa Rica the week before. Connections between Liberia and STT are expensive and complicated. It looks like it is gone now. Were you able to book it?
