Well I do think you raise one interesting point ... how does Disney determine that the THV's are all booked up??

I mean I am 100% CERTAIN that there is availability at SSR. In fact, I know for a fact that there were 2BR's available because I booked one.

So why was I able to book a 2BR but not a THV? That makes no sense. I can see that they have to reserve a certain number of rooms for cash guests, but do they have to reserve a certain type of room? Why couldn't they make 2BR's available for cash guest and leave the THV's to the members? It's not like the THV's are a different DVC resort. They're just a room category at SSR.

That I don't get and, honestly, doesn't really pass the smell test. I still think Disney set aside the THV's for cash guests knowing they'd be wildly popular and they could milk as WAY more cash out of them than they could the standard 2BR's at SSR.

Now I'm mad again.
