Hi guys!
It is very nice to meet you all. This is my *first post*, but I have been reading the boards for a while!
I'll go on ahead and introduce myself... short and sweet... My parents have been DVC members since 2004, our home resort was originally BCV, but we fell in love with OKW and it has been our home resort since ~2008. I did the DCP in 2013, Fall Advantage, worked at the Liberty Inn and worked Food and Wine of that year as well! I couldn't have been placed at a better location (got to watch candlelight processional every night of the holidays while selling gingerbread cookies and spiked hot cocoa!)
My fiance and I are taking our first solo trip to Disney since our daughter was born. We are taking a Feb 2018 trip for her 2nd birthday! It was a last minute decision so I have been stalking the RAT and have a few dates waitlisted... which leads me to my question.
We will be there 2/7-2/11. We are currently booked for an AKV Kidani Village savanna view studio on 2/8 and an SSR preferred view studio 2/9-2/11. We are currently waitlisted (as of two days ago) for an AKV Kidani Village savanna view studio on 2/7 and an SSR standard view studio on 2/9-2/11.
Should I go on ahead and book a backup room on 2/7 at SSR and risk having to move 3 times during our short stay? We've never stayed at AKV and would like to try to stay there at least one night if at all possible. Additionally, a standard view SSR studio is currently available for 2/9 but not 2/10. Do I go on ahead and book the one standard and change my waitlist to only 2/10 and risk having to move EVERY night of our stay? SSR standard room isn't as much of a concern since it is only 4 more points to be in the preferred room.
I really appreciate the help and look forward to contributing more!
