I am currently at KOR trying to make a reservation for next year, but it shows no availability for what I own. I have heard many other owners saying the same thing. Have there been issues with the reservation system? I have never experienced this problem before over the many years of owning here.

Are you making the reservation EXACTLY at 12 mos. out at midnight eastern? For example, tonight at midnight eastern you can reserve Sat, Jan. 31, 2026.
strange. I just checked and there is no availability for check in at KOR for the 28th, 29th or 30th. I go back to friday the 23rd and there is full availability of all sizes. how odd..

Booking 10/12/13 months out at midnight or whenever depending on the timeshare company can be difficult for some. And after paying tens of thousands of dollars to a developer is no way to operate. This is a problem with timeshare as there are no guarantee's unless you have a fixed week. It's not so much of a problem if you paid resale prices, but if you bought at developer prices you get taken for a ride. They have your money so now you are just a another number. There are times just making a regular hotel reservation is the way to go.

They made this problem when they decided to sell all weeks in 1 season. More people want whale season than late September, but they sold every week. So someone has to take the offseason weeks and in many cases it'll be someone who wanted something else.
Of course, if they had sold it with seasons it would have been much more difficult up front to sell the off season weeks, which is why they didn't do that.
I meant issues on that particular day. Of course they have issues. Lots of them. I just wondered if anyone else was having the same problem at the same time.

Could you help me out with the EXACTLY 12 month timing. If I want to reserve for Feb 7 check-in, would I go online the night of Feb 6 at Midnight Eastern, which is technically then Feb 7?
No, I can see availability for Jan 31, but not for Jan 30. I can move my res for my other confirmed res to match up, but that would probably result in a worse view (over Auntie’s instead of near the water).

Yes. According to the Sales Executive at Nanea, it may be helpful to use a laptop, not a phone or iPad and on Wi-Fi, not cellular. I was trying on an iPhone, but that is how I have been successful in booking in previous years.

Were the Sales Executive's lips moving? I see no distinction for what may be a half second difference; there are at least 30 1bd standard units at WKORV.

I would keep checking or even call Vistana. I'm not sure what algorithm is used to show Fri., 1/30/26 with availability, but Fri., 1/23/26 shows availability for the 1BR standard villa. To me that means those villas will have 1/30 as the check-out date. So shouldn't 1/30 then have availability as a check-in date? Maybe, you will find 1/30 as a check-in date ln a few days??

We are having a tough time right at midnight at exactly one year out. We tried for 1/31 and for 2/1. I was able to get studios but not the one bedrooms.
This has been a problem for a long time. March dates are way easier to get than February dates.
