Explain how free dining works if I'd have to change my ressies?

ACK! I have a dilemma. My question: Can I book for 14 nights with the free dining on Thursday, and then change my ressies later (if I need to cut off a week) without losing the free dining? I'd likely want to switch it to a 6 night with free dining, but it may be a while before I would know whether or not I would need to change the reservation.

Background- if you're interested... I've been in negotiations with a county out-of-state for a new job opening. I originally interviewed last May 2006, but then the county negotiated a deal with their local humane society and the job that they had waiting for me was nixed.

Now, they called me again in January, and they are negotiating with the bank for a price agreement on the humane society's building, which is threatening foreclosure. They said I'm their pick for the job and that if/when the bank comes to an agreement, they want me down there. If the bank won't agree on a price, they plan to build, which means that it could be even longer before I would be needed down there. I've been talking with them back and forth and still no agreement has been made. :

So, I finally told them that I cannot put my career and personal life on hold and wait on them. I explained that I was still interested, but I wanted them to know that I would be planning some work-related seminars/trainings that would take me out-of-state, as well as a family vacation. I know that from my earlier interview, I would have one week of vacation very soon after my hire date. Plus, I've got the upper hand, and plan to use it to negotiate some extra vacation time!

I plan to book on Thursday for the free dining if the rumors are true. We'd like to book for 14 nights with the free dining. I know that where I work now I can do this. However, if we move, I can't be certain that I would get a full two plus weeks of time off that soon after starting the position.

Input please!

Yes - you can make changes to the package after it's booked. BUT you can only book a maximum of 10 nights on one reservation, so you'll have to have two reservations booked to make 14 nights. Make sense? Enjoy your vacation! Good luck with the job!

If you're simply shortening your stay and not changing your dates, I would think that would be a simple process because there wouldn't be a question about availability since you would already have the package booked for those dates. Hope that made sense!

If you need to change your dates, that is possible but it would be based upon availability at that time. HTH!

I think that the maximum days for this package are 10 so you would need 2 separate reservations. Depending on the people in your party and your resort choice, it might make better sense to do the free dining for the first 10 days and a room only (with AAA discount if you have it) for the remaining 4. If you do 2 free dining packages you will have to buy at least a 1 day ticket for both packages.

Last night I asked a CM what the max number of nights for the free dining is and I was told it's 14 nights.
