There are generally no cancellation penalties.

If you borrow points for the reservation, those points remain borrowed.

If you drop days less than 31 days before check-in, the returned points become holding points (with limited usage requirements)

If you drop days after your banking window, then those extra points cannot be banked.

After making a reservation, you can drop any days at the beginning or any at the end (or both) while retaining the same reservation number and avoiding any risk of losing the reservation. You will need to either call or email Member Services to make that change because the online booking system is not set up to allow any modifications of a reservation once it is made -- the only thing you could do online is cancel the whole reservation and then try to rebook a new one which could risk ending up with no reservation if someone else gets what you want during the time in between your cancelling and booking again.

There is no fee or prescribed penalty for making the change but if made at a time beyond the eigth month of your use year, you would be blocked from banking any current use year points taken out of the reservation, and if the change is made 30 days or less from date of arrival, all points taken out of the reservation would go into a holding account and they could only be used for a new reservation made 60 days or less from arrival date and they cannot be banked.

I made my booking this morning but the first day wasn't available the rest were so I wait listed it doesn't that mean the others are at least confirmed?

Not sure what you did. If you in fact booked the other nights and then separately waitlisted the first night, then you are correct that the other nights are now booked. If you just set up a wait list for all nights, which is the only thing you could have done today if you were trying to reserve exactly 11 months out from date of arrival for home resort or 7 months out from date of arrival for another resort, then no you do not now have those following nights but instead have wait listed your entire trip and nothing is confirmed.
