DW and I decided to take our college age daughters (2) on vacation for Christmas. We have not been able to go altogether for quite a while. We booked at OKW to make sure we had a reservation. Changed to Beach Club yesterday after seeing the first day not being available at GF. Tried again this morning for GF 1 BR and the first day was available for std view but 3 other days were not available later in the week. The missing days were available for 1BR lake view. Decided to call Member Services for assistance but was a 15 minute wait. I kept playing with the on-line booking and was actually getting worse results and then all of a sudden an alternate selection for a 1BR Lake view for the entire 6 nights was displayed. I hit the book button and opened a new browser to cancel my Beach Club reservation which I did. You guessed it - the cancel points were not showing up on the other browser and I think I hit the wrong button and lost the GF booking so now I had no reservations. I still was on hold with Member Services so I tried again and again
on the online booking and magically the GF 1BR Lake view for 6 nights appeared again as an alternate selection. This time I hit the booked button and my cancelled points were available and I completed the booking. I think I experienced the first miracle of Christmas twice. Thanks for letting me share.
 

Yeah! Happy it worked out. I too was stressed reading! I just used the two browser method the other day...but it was great that it worked!!! Not for Xmas time, but knowing it works like that will be helpful in the future. It is too bad they don't put that in as a choice when you book so this doesn't need to happen...
 
Congrats! We'll be there around the same time. i had a similar thing happen with our reservation and ended up getting the last 1 bdrm value at AKL.
