People book dates for way before they plan to go, then every couple of days they add on at the end of their booked days & drop the first couple of days, walking the reservation to their desired dates & blocking others from booking those rooms at 11 months. It works because at 11 months you can book up to +7 days - so you’ve blocked anyone trying to get a new 11 month booking. Here’s a thread from someone who’s been walking 2 AKV value villas for 9 months https://www.disboards.com/threads/member-services-lost-my-reservation-frustration-rant.3888557/.Several people have referred to "walking" a room. What does this mean?
I personally have never been interested in staying at SSR, so chose AKV for my first resale purchase many years ago figuring I wouldn’t mind staying there if nothing better was available, turns out I love staying there, especially when I save points booking a standard view at Jambo & get a view of Sunset savanna, good thing because I’ve never even found an opening to start a walk for a value (or a club) villa there
