That Disney's "Best kept secret" is no longer a secret 
There was a time when you could make short-notice reservations to a DVC resort, with little or no advance notice.

You still can at some times of the year, if you want a 2 or 3 bedroom. It's near impossible for a studio though.

You can still make short notice reservations. Scrappy and I did it in Sept last year, for a week, we stayed in 5 different resorts in 8 days. You may just have to move around a bit! 
It was actually sort of fun and we stayed in 3 resorts we never stayed at before and found out if we liked them or not.

That's sort of how Tori and I ended up with our split stay in October, that was booking 6 months out. We had one night at the Grand Floridian, but we couldn't get two nights at any one other resort, nor could we get studios. We ended up with 3 resorts over 3 nights, and we couldn't get a studio everywhere.
For Tori and myself, it was an experience that we decided we don't want to repeat again. A new hotel every night was just too much for us, and we had some serious trouble with our dining plan, and assigned rooms, because of it.

Yes, 2 + bedrooms are mostly still available on a short notice, and/or willingness to move several times during your stay (to a new resort) will work & is an entertaining way to experience other 
resorts 
! In the past, we occasionally stayed at multiple resort during our visit, and we all enjoyed it 
But short notice Studios are as evasive as spotting a Sasquatch at the Grand Floridian pool 
Btw, we've never stayed at the Grand Floridian, it's on our bucket list 
For us, checking out from one resort by 11:00 and worst case scenario having to wait/come back at 4:00, may take away from park time and R&R 
And some may have to consider refrigerated meds, foods, etc.
Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas

We were able to book a 4-night stay in a preferred studio at Saratoga Springs with 1 day notice last August. We were also able to add 3 nights to our September stay at SSR in a 1 bedroom 2 days before leaving.
It is possible, but it definitely depends on when you're going and where you are willing to stay.

JanJ; very true, but the more desirable DVC resorts are almost impossible to lock-in if not way in advance.

On our 5 Resort in 8 day trip (which was actually in Sept not June) we did end up getting t he Poly for two nights, and the Wilderness Lodge for two nights. The others were Old Key West, Saratoga Springs for two nights each and Bay Lake for 1 night. They were all Studios except Bay Lake which was a 1 bedroom. Only two of the moves were a problem time wise. But then again we drive so we just packed up and moved ourselves. I will say I would not really want to move that often again though. We were booking those day by day on our drive down there. That was truely a hang on by the seat of our pants trip.
