Live Time 7 Month Booking Disney Vacation Club | Modifying A DVC Reservation | DVC Waitlist Request

Disney Vacation Club has limited inventory, so like trying to grab coveted FastPasses or advance dining reservations your DVC booking day is quite the event! In this video I am showing you my experience with the 7-month booking window. Spoiler: this also includes some reservation modifications and waitlist experience. I took screen recordings of the process and am sharing those in close to real time -- the clips included in this video are a tad shorter than reality as I cut out some load screens as well as pages where I'm entering private information. Also, since I know your time is valuable, I did speed up my scrolling on the browser... that's boring and you don't need to see it in live time. Come get a visual practice run in for your 7 month DVC booking window day! This also serves as "Part 3" in my 2021 Walt Disney World Trip planning series. While this video will be broadly relevant for anyone wanting to see how booking Disney Vacation Club at the 7 month mark works, I am doing this specifically for my 2021 trip.
