How should I book for a split stay??

[mom of princessx2]

We are starting to plan our first 10 day trip for next December. I am going to book all of it in January but at our 7 month mark I would like to try to get another resort for the first 3 days.

Should I just book a 10 day trip or should I start out with a 3 day and a 7 day reservation so I only have to switch the first portion?

My advice is to book the entire 10 night trip at your home resort at 11 months.

At 7 months, if there is availability at the non-home resort, you can just drop the first 3 nights of the 10 night reservation and book what you really want. If there isn't availability at 7 months, you at least have a place to stay.

MS can also set up a waitlist to only cancel the first 3 nighst if the 3 night waitlist comes through.

December is a popular time for DVC members. IMO, it's important to have somewhere to be if your first choice doesn't work out at 7 months.

Good luck.

I agree with CarolMN, it is important to cover the nights you wish to stay and then see later if you can get what you really prefer.

Good luck in your quest.

You'll have to wait for 11 months out from your fourth day to get all ten days. You can only book 7 days ahead at a time.
