Beginner question...

Sorry all, need a quick answer and I'm a newb. If I need to make a reservation but all of the days are not available, it is best to waitlist the entire timeframe or should I do individual day reservations and snatch up the unavailable days if/when they become available?

Definitely better to grab the days that are available and piece it together bit by bit. Waitlists for single days fill easier than a week stay. Once you are satisfied MS can combine them together later as long as they are the same room category and all the people on the reservation match exactly.

@prinesscinderella is spot on. I was able to knit together a nine night stay in an OKW Studio in late October/November for our DIL's Mom so she can join us. It took about a month of stalking, starting with the first few nights and then adding each night as it popped up. I did have several waitlists that never were fulfilled as I got the reservations first. MS was able to put it all together in one reservation. Tedious, but it worked!

Good luck!

Definitely waitlist in pieces as the others suggested but in addition make sure you stalk, stalk, stalk the website. I’ve had great luck grabbing reservations a day or two at a time just by checking multiple times a day. Heck I’ve even been known to sit watching TV while hitting the refresh button over and over .

Good luck and welcome home!!

If all the nights of your hoped for trip are not available at 11 or seven months out, you can only book the nights when you are 11 or seven months out from the first night available in that string. So if Jan 1 is available, but not Jan 2 and Jan 3 is available, you book Jan 1 and then you book Jan 3. Then you waitlist Jan 2.
