Help Please! I have to change my trip dates at the last minute

[vinmar4]

Hello,
I had scheduled our trip for this June and now because my son has to go to a soccer tournament we have to go the weekend of Easter!
how crazy is that?
I looked for nights at AKV our home resort and I can get the last 4 nights but when we get there we will stay 2 nights in a one bedroom at the BW and then have to go for 3 nights to Seratoga Springs, we never stayed there before, then the 4 nights at AKV.
Now, I want to wait list those 3 nights that I have to book at Saratoga.
Where would I have a better chance of getting my wait list?
Im willing to do even a studio if not able to get a one bedroom at either the BW, AKV, or the Wilderness
Please help, I know that it is not for sure but I would like to place my wait list on the ones that I"m most likely to get
thanks a lot

Wow, at least you got something.

I think waitlisting AKV (whatever you have) and BWV (again what you have) give you the best shot of eliminating SSR. 2 waitlists.

However, I also think that because of size, SSR could get you out of having to move 3 times. If I was trying to move less, I would try for SSR for the BWV stay and AKV for the whole stay. They would be my 2 waitlists.

I really think it's great that you got something for each night!

Best wishes.
Bobbi

SSR is nice, so don't worry if you get "stuck" there. It is more serene than other resorts and close to DTD (although if you are not at the end near the pathway to walk, the bus can take a while).

If you don't want to move as much, you might try switching the two nights at BWV to SSR.

Otherwise, definitely try waitlisting both BWV and AKV. My preference with a stay that long would be two resorts. I think it make the stay seem even longer without being repititious.

Thanks,
yes, I was counting my blessings that I had all nights covered until I called and the Tuesday of the 3 nights at SSR was gone,
so now I have to wait list that day or go to one of the moderates for those 3 nights!
now, the question is, what moderate if we have to go there??
Im not paying 439.00 dollars for that night at SSR

Are you on the waitlist now? I hope so! In fact, I would go through every resort to get something for that one night.

I saw that Tuesday is available at the BW but not that Monday and Wed so I was going to book that one and wait list the other 2 days . I booked that Monday and Wed at SSR and I'm wait listing the Tuesday
The last option will be to book those 3 nights at the Coronado

Last year we were in the position of having about 20 odd points that we were going to lose, so we tacked on one night stay at Coronado onto an existing trip we had already booked. Mind you, the rooms are SMALL compared to the 1BR we are so spoiled with, BUT, we LOVED it there. My son had so much fun climbing up those rock towers. He climbed every single one I think. We enjoyed the movie night at the pool and my son got to watch it while swinging away on the swings. Great memories there. We were just surprised at how much we liked it and have actually thought of going back.

Good luck....

I booked our trip kind of last min. We leave next Wed. I originally got 4 nights at SSR. That same night I went online and actually saw the next night was available so I cancelled the wait list and grabbed it. Then a couple of hours later low and behold the next night at SSR was there. I grabbed it. So then I noticed that AKV Kidani had our last two nights so I grabbed those. I liked doing it that way vs. being waitlisted for 4 nights. I felt like our chances for a 4 night wait list was probably not going to happen.
