I’m an infrequent poster, but long-time lurker and experienced WDW visitor. We are in the early stages of planning a WDW trip for October 2020, and specifically 5 nights in the week that includes Columbus Day. I know this is peak DVC use time, but we are locked into grandkids fall break. Travelers are me, older DD, her DH, their DS and DD (teenagers), my younger DD, and her DH. So we need 3 sleeping areas, and older DD needs separate sleeping surfaces for her 2 kids. The two-bedroom lock-off at Riviera would be perfect for us, and cost of renting points looks to be about same as three rooms at a moderate.
So, my questions: how likely is it that I will find a Riviera owner at 11 months, even working through something like David’s, with enough points and who wants to rent? And if I needed to wait till 7 months out, how likely is it that I would be successful then?
Considering this is a new resort with not all DVC inventory released, limitations on resale owners being able to stay here, and the very active fall DVC season, just trying to understand if trying for this is even a good idea.
Note: We have some flexibility within our week: Looking at that week and the two adjoining weekends, we need 5 nights for Disney, and 1 night/2 days for Universal.
