I was curious what the availability for 11 months out looked like, so I was toying around on the DVC website. At first, it was only allowing me to search from October 10th through 16th (6 nights). The 7th night wasn't grayed out as unavailable. I just couldn't select the last night to even search for it. I thought that was odd since I was certain that the booking window was for 7 nights from check-in at 11 months, but since I wasn't actually trying to book a reservation, I figured I would do some more research to see if I was misunderstanding the booking window.
I tried back later, and a 7-night search was possible from the home page. But depending on which page I'm searching from (home page search vs. adjusting dates when looking at a specific room vs. search bar at the top of the results after the initial search), it's only allowing a 6-night search some of the time, and a 7-night search at others. Even then, it seems to be inconsistent (i.e., allows a 7-night search from the homepage sometimes, but not at others). So it doesn't seem to be just one of the search bars that is limiting the last night.
Anyone else experience something like this? Is it a glitch in the search function? Or is there possibly something I'm doing differently on the subsequent searches that is "unlocking" the 7th night to be included in my search?
Thanks!
ETA: My first (and subsequent searches) were all well after 8 am EST, so I don't think it has anything to do with searching too early. Plus this afternoon, I'm still seeing the inconsistency of only a 6-night search being possible some of the time.
