Booking cash stay while waiting for WL

[Junebug2]

Hi,

I'm still new to DVC and navigating waitlists... my family is staying in a studio at OKW for one night on 9/25 following a Disney cruise.

I have 2 active WLs right now for studios at OKW from 9/23-9/26 for my parents (one regular and one near hospitality). I am not on the reservation for the WLs; it's just my 2 parents.

I was able to book them a cash stay studio at OKW for the same dates. My hope is that one of the WLs comes through and I can cancel the cash stay before the deadline. I'm not sure how it works because once (if) the WL comes through, they'd technically have 2 reservations in their names at OKW for the same time period, until I'm able to cancel the cash stay.

Any thoughts on this? Is the cash stay going to cause a problem for the WL to be booked if it comes available?

Many thanks!

No, there shouldn’t be a problem. The two systems don’t talk to each other. If the WL comes through, you’ll have to link it to their MDE account manually. You can cancel the cash reservation before you do that.

YOU have to cxl cash reservation. As mentioned above , two different systems.
Confirm cxl policy for cash night
