Extending your reservation past 7 days?

[StanH]

I was able to book VWL in December today. We want to stay 9 days (or so), but I could only reserve 7 to start.

What is the best way to move forward with extending the stay? Call each day and add a day at a time, or wait until all the days can be added?

Thanks!

I would check online 2 or 3 or more times every day.

Maybe I should have given more info...

I am brand new to DVC and haven't received my ID or password yet, so online is not an option. It isn't that the days were unavailable, they would only let me book 7 days at 1 time.

Unless I am missing it, I do not see any way through the on-line system to change your reservation once you made it and submit as final after checking points used. Thus if you are going to add days you will have call to do it and you can do so daily or wait a few days and do it. As a new member booking now while still waiting for number, that would also be the way to do it.

I'd call each day to add the additional day, which is exactly what I did for my Dec 09-24 trip.

If you booked today at exactly 11 months, then there is no need to call every day. Just call in a few days when you can add all the days you want.

No one else can book the room you are in until your current check out day so as long as you call prior to the 11 month window for that day, there will not be any problem.

So, if you booked Dec 20th - Dec 27th today, then call back on Sunday and extend it to the 29th.

Congratulations on becoming a new member!!!

You can call Member Services and get the information you need to set up your online account. If I remember correctly, there is an option you select to be connected to someone who can help you log in to the DVC member site. If that option no longer exists, try Member Administration.
