I just want to make sure I'm doing this correctly since the booking system seems to have been updated since the last time I used it. AKV is my home resort but I've been unsuccessful at booking an AKV Value right at 8:00 eastern when the 11 month window opens. I know these are probably the toughest rooms to get but want to make sure I'm giving myself the best chance at least.
I'm using the 'Start your Search' tool before the window opens, selecting travel party, dates, and resort. Then proceeding to the search results where I see the room I want is currently open for the entire week. I wait for the clock to turn to 7:00 central and immediately press continue on the selected dates. But it always returns the message of 'You're trying to book outside your window...try again' I refresh the search and the first day is gone of course. But, I thought the message would say the dates are no longer available or something similar, not that I'm outside the booking window.
Does that message just appear by default because the first day is already gone when I press the button and now I'm actually trying to book the next day? I waited about 10 seconds today in case I was proceeding too soon previously, but got the same message. Should I not go past the initial search page until 7:00 hits? Is there a better way?
