Dropping a day from a reservation?

[Steelers0854]

DW and I are going on a DCL cruise next December. We are going to stay at WDW the night before we board, but there is a 50/50 chance we can do 2 days before. It’s all going to depend on work stuff that we wont know about at the 11 month mark. Given December is very popular, I was thinking of just booking the 2 nights at 11 months. How easy is it to drop a day from a reservation? We are a June use year so we bank in January so in theory should be fine there, but I wasnt sure how it would work. We would likely know around 90-120 days in advance of the stay if we are for sure going or not for that added day.

Thanks as always for the help.

That sounds like a good plan since you’ll know before the 31 day Mark, your points won’t go into holding if you don’t use them allowing you to bank them

All you need to do is Modify your reservation online. As above, as long as you do it at least 31 days before checkin, your points won’t go into holding.

@Steelers0854 Do you have any other Disney trips planned on points earlier in this UY? If you do, make sure you use any banked/borrowed points on the earlier reservation(s) first. If you end up having banked/borrowed points on this December reservation and drop a day leaving banked/borrowed points available when you cancel you cannot bank them again.

Wouldn’t it be a dream if the system automatically reallocated for you? I am worried I will be the only person in my family who understands DVC because some of this is so “in the weeds” and you sort of have to learn by doing.
