odds of "almost last minute" dvc trade

[djp]

I am trying to get a 2br DVC resort for a specific week in mid january 09. I am using a strong trader (starwood ski week) and just made the request today. I understand the factors

Last minute-not helpful
specific week-not helpful

January off season-helpful
So what do you think are my odds of me getting this week? Anyone else get 2br dvc requesting at less than 70 days out?

I think you would have a much better chance getting 2 studios than a 2 bedroom

I have seen a few out there in Jan, I believe I saw a 2br at SSR and OKW last week. But I agree with the other post that you are more likely to get a studio or 1br.

I believe your chances are excellent for a 2 bedroom. I have had such great success at getting the 2 beds, and my trader isn't a Starwood, it's a generic week. It seems that a request is about the only way of getting Disney 2 beds of late.

January is their slowest time and I just saw a 2BR BCV for January about a week ago just sitting there on II. I think if you are doing an ongoing search for any DVC for Jan for a 2BR, you will be fine getting one. Just make sure your ongoing search is with a 2BR too.

this is the second 2br dvc week i have gotten for the same week (we are bringing some friends along).....simply shows that getting a DVC 2br is totally doable if you are going off-season....looked at the disney website and saw that to rent this week from them would cost almost $5000.

Congratulations! I felt pretty sure that an ongoing search would get the week for you. We just stayed at Boardwalk Villas in September; our daughter had a 2 bedroom for one week, and we had a one bedroom for consecutive weeks. It was wonderful! We loved the location, right by Epcot, and the boat ride into MGM and Epcot saved so much time over a bus.
