Gambling I'll get an exchange for Easter week at Ocean Pointe

I booked a flight for easter week to Miami. Couldn't pass up the price of $160 roundtrip from DC . I'm gambling that I will get an exchange for Ocean Pointe or Beach Place using my platinum presidents week Ocean Pointe studio. Am I crazy to take this gamble? What are the chances my trade will come through? This is Easter week so I know it's risky. Worst case, I'll book a hotel in Fort Lauderdale and enjoy the beautiful weather or rent the week from a fellow tugger. Call me crazy but I am crossing my fingers that I get the exchange or a last minute flexchange reservation. :whoopie:

I think as long as you have a search going and would be ok in a studio if needed you should be ok.

I got a confirmation for a studio unit in less than 12 hours. Received the confirmation e-mail at 6am this morning. Guess it wasn't that much of a gamble after all. :cheer:

I can always do a swap for a larger unit (for another exchange fee of course) if one comes available during flexchange but I am happy with the studio.

Congrats!
Call II and ask if they have a 1BR unit for the same date.
It doesn't hurt you :)
