Modification question

So, worst case, MS should be able to do it if the room is available? I'd be too nervous to cancel my 1 bedroom and re-book a 2 because if availability disappeared in those moments, I'd be out of luck.

That probably won't happen and, even if it does, those 1 BRs will not go that fast at the 7-month mark. So, worst case, you just rebook your 1 BR, but using VGC points first.

The trickier thing will be if a 2 BR isn't available for all nights that you want. I think there is a good chance they will be. But, if they're not, you can book the nights that are and waitlist the individual nights that are not. I recently had to do this for a 2 BR lock-off at RIV where we decided a little over 4 months out to switch from a 1 BR to a 2 BR (and wanted a lock-off if possible). I wanted 8 nights. I was able to get nights 1-5, and night 7. So booked those and waitlisted night 6 and night 8. Within a few weeks, I had all 8 nights - I did have to contact MS to merge a couple of the separate reservations into a single one.

Yes as long as the room is available at 7 months MS can do it.

You can switch to the 2 bedroom by modifying your current 1 bedroom. That holds your current 1 bedroom and won't drop it unless you confirm the change.

Would I be able to put back some of the BRV points and replace them with other resort points at the 7-month mark or only add other resort points to cover the additional cost?

Your home resort contract be locked for that reservation.

You can upgrade and add more days from your contracts at the start.

You will not be able to replace any days. What you could do, and what I do frequently with my SSR points, is book any days at the beginning or end of my trip still available, book new, and then drop the corresponding nights I booked in home resort.
