One of the questions I hear most often is:

"What's the hardest week of the year to book a Disney Vacation Club resort?"

Everyone has an opinion. Some will immediately say Christmas. Others point to Spring Break or the middle of summer when schools are out.

For the past eight years, the DVC Field Guide has tracked reservation availability across every Disney Vacation Club resort at Walt Disney World. Every day, we record what members can actually reserve, creating one of the most comprehensive historical databases of DVC booking patterns available anywhere.

Rather than relying on crowd calendars or personal experience, this study lets the reservation data answer the question.

What’s the hardest DVC Studio to book?

If the resort accommodation is not available, DVC offers a waitlist process to help you get the reservation you want. This is a valuable resource for members as a reservation may not be available at the time of booking but may come open before you need the reservation. I have had good results using a waitlist, but success could take some time.

One of the strengths of being a Disney Vacation Club member is having so many great resorts to choose from. Each of them has unique characteristics that are appealing to guests. Many DVC members enjoy splitting their vacation into multiple locations. Frankly, the idea of packing up and moving around the resort to resort may not be appealing to everyone. This blog discusses some of the reasons you may want to consider a split stay on your next DVC vacation.
