Mushroom yes! I've had to adopt that tactic this year, have had enough of being messed about.
If STBXH fails to reply for weeks/months/until the last minute and I have a chance to take DCs away, I just go ahead and book and tell him he will need to work around those dates as he has not provided any info.
I am not psychic, and if he doesn't have the common courtesy to reply to a request for the dates he wants DCs for holidays, I am not going to put my/their life on hold for him or allow him to get any satisfaction from any imagined power / control / inconvenience he tries to throw in my direction.
Enjoy your time with your DCs
