Having a waitlist replace a portion of an existing reservation

10th-14th. I have the 8th-10th in a standard studio savanah view.

Well, I'll wave to you on our way out! (We have a 9 PM flight, so we might overlap a few hours.)

Does anyone have any newer insight to the above? I have a week scheduled but was looking at waitlisting another resort for 3 of the 7 nights. Has this messed up for people? Has this been accomplished before?

Unfortunately, you cannot have a WL replace part of a reservation and leave the remaining part intact - it’s all or nothing. So if you place that 3-night WL, do NOT set it to replace the 7-night reservation unless you want to give up all 7 nights. If the WL does come through, you could modify the 7 nights down to the four you want to keep - but if you do that less than 31 days from checkin, those points will go into holding.

The recommendation remains - if you hope for a split stay, book it like that at your home resort to start with, then if a WL is needed at 7 months, you can set it to replace that segment.
