We are back ... it was awesome. The Del might have been our "Plan C" (given Covid) for the special anniversary but it turned out to be "just right and then some." I feel like I might be glowing.
Good news! The hold time to reach DVC MS for Concierge reservations was only 31 minutes! And yes, they had multiple offerings for my dates at the Hotel Del! Of the unit types we discussed, nightly points ranged from 70-112 points per night. Curiously, reservation requests cannot be immediately booked but, rather, take 3-5 days to "settle." So ... I put in a request for a Victorian King Ocean View (105 DVC points per night) as my #1 request and a Cabana King (112 points per night) as my backup. (Booking anything less would have failed to burn out my remaining 2019 points.)
This is looking super hopeful! And the DVC MS rep was super helpful! Yeah! This would be great reservation!!! (I'm still on hold as the rep finalizes my request ...)
EDITED TO ADD: Yippie! Received my confirmation for the Hotel Del, 1st choice in room type. So, start to finish on this was ~6 hours. Yay! Color me happy. This will be our 2nd time staying at the Hotel Del ... the first being 25 years ago on our wedding night before flying to WDW.
