2 week reservation strategy recommendations?

[juju]

I am interested in staying at my home resort, BWV, next April. One week before and after the Star Wars half marathon. My booking date is coming up soon. I am aware how difficult it is to book at BWV around Wine and Dine run, I was on line as soon as it opened for this Oct and had to waitlist my first choice. Not sure if Star Wars run and Flower and Garden have the same challenges.
Would appreciate any input on best way to book this. I understand I can only book 7 nights initially and then any other nights following I would need to make a reservation each day. I am on the West coast and am not thrilled at getting online each morning at 5am but will do it if I need to. I am looking at a studio, standard or with a view whatever I can get.

Also, do you think I should just make another reservation for the second week and then consider the possibility I would need to move to another unit? Any opinions on what the chances are that they would let me stay in same unit?

I would be online first thing to try to book 7 nights in a standard studio. The day before you would need to book the 2nd 7 night stay, I would call MS to extend the stay for 6 nights - and call back the next day to get the last night.

That would just make it one 14 night stay in the same studio.

No, it's not like the Wine and Dine which also coincides with Jersey Week, Food and Wine etc. I also would just book the first 7 nights on the date you can and then make 2 more calls to add the additional nights like Charles suggested above. So if you're looking to check in on the Sunday before the half marathon go online at the 11 month equivalent for that and book the first 7 nights. Then you could give a call when you get a chance 4-5 days later and book the next 4 or 5 nights (depending on how many days you wait to call). Then a couple of days later call and add the final couple of nights. All that may not even be needed but it's the safest way to secure your full stay.

If it's important to you I'd be online and ready acting at 5 am. That's a small price to pay to be set. Then you'll just have to call a couple of times to add to the reservation assuming you ultimately want it all as one.

Just a note, while you can book your 7 night online, you have to call to add days. I always book 14 nights standard studio bwv in may and October. I generally book my first 7 nights if I can get it....I have been shut out once by 8:02am and had to try the next day and waitlist for the first night. They I call back about every 2 days to add 2 more days each time, until I get all my nights. Adding the days are nothing compared to getting that first 7 nights. You have to be fast, because your first day is always someone else's last day.
