If you’re familiar with Marriott Vacation Club booking windows for reservations, you may know that owners of a single deeded Marriott week are able to book their week up to 12 months in advance. In this article, we will explain what inventory release calendars are, how they work, and provide links to them for every Marriott Vacation Club resort.
What Are Inventory Release Calendars?
One common misconception is that you must wait precisely 365 days before reserving the week of your choice. However, this is not necessarily true, as some Marriott Vacation Club resorts may have availability earlier than this time frame if new inventory has been released. This can be discovered by using an inventory release calendar for your particular resort.
This is where using Marriott inventory release calendars to your advantage can give you a better chance of booking those hard-to-get weeks during peak times of the year.
How Inventory Release Calendars Work
Keep in mind, for deeded Marriott weeks, there are many resorts that offer a choice of check-in days, typically Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If the resort you are deeded to offers multiple check-in days the inventory for each week is released a few days before the earliest offered check-in day.
For example, if you would like to check in to Marriott’s Grande Vista in Orlando, this resort offers a choice of Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday for your check-in day. Let’s say you’d like to check in on Monday, June 10th, 2024. The inventory for this weeks would be available to book as early as Tuesday, June 06, 2023 for the 12-month booking window.
Knowing this small trick can give you a big advantage in being able to book the week you want within your deeded season. The check-in days that are offered vary from resort to resort, so be sure to check the inventory release calendar for your particular home resorts.

If you’d like to start using these inventory release calendars to plan your next Marriott vacation, you can find links to each of them in the table below. If you see “N/A” in the check-in days field, that’s because certain Marriott resorts never sold deeded weeks, and are only accessible by using Marriott Vacation Club points, which can be used to check-in any day of the week provided there is availability.
