As far as I understood it, up until a few months ago before the DVC website booking system got it's overhaul, there was definitely a different room availability inventory that you could only check by calling in to Member Services on the phone once you're within 7 days of your arrival date.
It even used to say so on the booking portion (the old version with the yellow background) of the website.
I believe (but not sure of this) that the different room inventory used to come from cash inventory that got pulled back.
Now with the new booking site, I can't find any language anywhere that mentions this.
When I called into Member Services just now and tried to ask the advisor about checking to see if she had different availability since it was within 7 days, she insisted that there's nothing different about what she could see and what I could see on the website, and that they're really working on streamlining everything and making it so members can do everything themselves using the website.
Is it possible that the rooms that could potentially be pulled back from cash inventory are now displayed on our booking website and thus bookable on our own without calling in? I'm skeptical of this, which is why I'm posting to see if others might have recent experiences related to this.
