If we have flexibility how hard is it to book a 2Br or 1Br Value at 11 months? We would normally look at July, September, January.

Also for waitlist requests since these are lock-offs if you happen to book the Studio or 1Br Value can they take that in to account? Meaning you don't need a 2Br come available but just for the other half of the lock-off.

I was looking at the Predicted Booking Pattern post from last year but didn't know if anyone has first hand knowledge of actually booking and has seen any changes recently.
 
They are always hard to book. You just try to book what you need. Since all the two bedrooms are lockoffs, if someone books a studio, that leaves a one bedroom to book. Studios go quickly, so that will affect two bedrooms. You may need to walk your reservation.

Do you know if you book a 1BR and Studio at the same time can you have member services combine them in to a 2BR reservation for the reduced point rate?

Unlikely that you could book them at the same time, otherwise why not book the 2 bd first?

No. 1 BR's are typically easy at 11 months. Studios and 2 BR's are hard.

No, they will not do that. You need to book it as a 2BR. The times you are looking at are generally slower DVC times and will also probably make it the easiest time to try and book the values. You still need to try right at 8am at 11 months.

No, you'd have to change your reservation to a two bedroom instead of a studio and a one bedroom. You get what you book. Even if they did connect when you arrived, you would still be charged for points in a one bedroom and a studio, not a two bedroom.

Nope. The Waitlist is not that sophisticated, and there are also various issues involving units. It's Jenga.
 
Last summer (late July- early August) , both weeks of my stay, I could have booked the 1 bed value 7 months out.
