I'm feeling very pleased with myself 
Our 7-night trip in October has been booked for me, DH, both DDs and DD's BF - all of us for 2 nights in WDW, three of us for 3 nights in Vero with DD and BF staying in WDW, then all of us back in WDW for the last 2 nights . I was having trouble fitting everything in the draft parks itinerary!
DD has a birthday when we're there, other DD and her BF want to go to Universal, etc., etc. There was a lot of checking in and out of resorts, and it was all looking a bit frantic!
I got thinking that it would all work so much better if we could swap one of the VB nights for another night in WDW, so I checked with the rest of the family and had 'permission' to see what I could get - although none of us held out much hope of getting another night in a 2 bedroom during Food & Wine at this short notice.
I rang MS when they opened today and realised it was the opening time for reservations in the new AKL Kidani Village - I had to wait on hold for ages and altogether I was on the phone for almost an hour, it was so busy!
Anyway, the great news is that I managed to add another night to our WDW time
I'll be sorry to have to lose a VB night, but I think it's the best solution for this trip and will make it easier for everyone to do what they want to do 
...and it means I'll have to do some more planning

to add to the 2 nights we already had booked there at the beginning of our trip. I didn't think I'd be able to get VWL because it's a small resort, so I initially asked for OKW to tie in with our last 2 nights of the trip. OKW wasn't available and I was about to go on the waitlist when I thought of asking about VWL - and it was available!
