Whether you will be able to find award inventory for those weeks is another story. Certain hotels don't release inventory on time. JW Marriott Orlando doesn't release inventory, paid or awards, until about 8 months out. Vail Marriott generally won't release award inventory that early either. Those are the only 2 hotels I am personally familiar with that deviate from the standard 50 week out award availability, however, there may be others. Good luck.
