Yeah, we've done the Holiday festival twice too. Just not been there for the Arts one. Yet.
Point is...studio availability at 7 months was asked about by OP. And DVC folks typically go for the 2 higher point seasons as it's during holidays and breaks...and they also go for the 2 lower point seasons as it takes less points. So the 2 middle seasons are typically the least desired (yes, all the time is busy anymore...but talking about folks booking DVC rooms). So, the current 7 month window happens to fall in early Feb (middle season that is least desired). And it has limited availability in studios. If OP wants to buy and aim to book studios at other home resort at 7 months...seems like best they can hope for is AKV, OKW and SSR with BLT and POLY in the least desired times. Yes, one can waitlist and/or stalk availability or book split stays or shorter trips and get other resorts. However if a buyer wants a specific studio room (specific view type and specific resort and specific season) then they may want to buy that resort (unless it is SSR, OKW or AKV- standard or savanna...and even OKW is a tough studio to get sometimes).
