Booking a resort question

[LIPeter]

I'm planning on staying at WDW sometime between the weeks of April 24th, and May 15th. I wont definitely know which week until the end of December. Should I make 4 separate reservations for each week, or should I just make one for the whole 4 weeks?

Just make one - you'd have to make a deposit for each reservation. And I don't think you can make one for 4 weeks.

That's what I thought. So, just make one for the 4 weeks, and when I know my dates, just call and let them know? I never did it this way before, so I wanna make sure.

Well, like I said, I don't think you can make a reservation for 4 weeks.

Oops, read your reply wrong.

No. That won't work. They no longer allow you to just "drop" days for a reservation. If you make one longer than you need, you will have to completely cancel it and try to rebook, only if available, for what you actually want.
I would wait until I knew for sure before booking at all.

Just wait to book.

Ok thanks.

I would book the week that I was most likely going to stay, only for the purpose of getting the 180+10 ADRs. But if all weeks are equal, and you would be more likely to end up canceling those ADRs than you would be to keep them, then I'd wait until I was more positive about which week I would be going.

Do neither.
You'd end up putting down $800 in deposits if you did 4 separate booking and you cannot make one 4 week reservation.

Just wait until you know the exact dates and then book.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
