Can someone walk me through walking a reservation?

never have understood how it's done.

I need to book 14 n for January. BLT. Will only have seven month booking window. Perhaps walking will help?

Walking at 7 months is pretty pointless. Use the Resort Availability Tool to make sure 14 nights are available to being with. Book the first 7 nights as soon as you can and call each day to add one more night.

The idea of walking is that you book dates earlier than you need, adding and dropping one day each day until you eventually end up with what you want. Since you can book 7 days ahead at the booking window, by booking the days in advance of your reservation, you can lock up the room so nobody else can book it. But, since owners can always book ahead of you, you could always lose a day while walking your reservation.

Thank you. I didn't realize I could call each day to add a night. Will actually do that tomorrow for my October reservation. Have been waiting for the second week to open up.

I think you book length of stay now. Starting with first day. No need to walk in day to day. Call member services to confirm this.
