My wife and I are staying at the HGVC off of I-drive and have a question.
We arrive on Friday, 11/30 and depart Saturday, 12/8 however......our ressie is only for 7 nights (Fri-Fri) and have been told that we need to wait until 9/1 before we can inquire about adding a night in hopes of actually getting it.
My initial thought was that if we were not able to get that additional night that we would just book 2 rooms somewhere for the last night. Having said that, I made a call and had been quoted a nice rate to simply add the night but when speaking to someone esle a while later, was quoted a much higher figure equaling almost 1/2 of what I paid for the week.
Meanwhile, there had been some family concern that we really wouldn't be able to enjoy the 1st night as we wouldn't be getting in until fairly late and that the original ressie should have been for Sat-Sat so that if we had to shack up at a hotel, we could do so near the airport and be done with it.
Anyway, adding further complexity (really insult), I learned that if I were to shift the week to Sat-Sat, I would then be charged $60 to do so. Needless to say, there will be no shift so to make a really long story short, can any fellow RCI member share there experiences about adding a night and what tactics you used to make this happen with little to no difficulty?
Thanks
