Yup, it's hard, but not impossible. Tomorrow I check in for my second concierge level stay this year but it takes work to secure. You will want to learn about the concept of walking. People hate it but even member services will tell you to do it... If this is your ONLY reason for buying AKV, you may find yourself frustrated and disappointed.We are considering buying a AKL contract and was wondering if it's hard to lock down a concierge room even at the 11 month mark? Thank you,
Is the concept walking booking the room day by day? I'm new to DVC so don't know the lingo yet. Thanks for the help!Yup, it's hard, but not impossible.

Thank you - appreciate the advice!Walking is when people go on and book a room 11 months out from dates earlier then they actually want to travel and then move it forward every few days until they get to the correct dates.
Once you get a room at 11 months, barring DVC taking it out of service, no one else can get it as long as you keep changing the check out date before others can check in.
Because this is such a hard to get room, some owners will start trying months in advance in hopes of success.
Is that if you are waiting for your points to deposit? Is that relevant if you already have points to use?And when walking, UY matters a lot. If you're trying for an April 30 check-in, there is no worse UY than April for your walk.
It’s difficult to walk over your UY line. In the beginning of the walk you’re using say 2023 points, then April comes and you’d need 2024 to continue. Very compicated.Is that if you are waiting for your points to deposit? Is that relevant if you already have points to use?
