Hi.

I have a reservation from January 5-12 at SSR.
Therefore, when I want to modify my ressie, I am choosing that full week to modify.

If I am in my reservation and see, for instance, BLT come up for January 5-8, how (or can I), choose January 5-8 for BLT while still keeping 8-12? I am not sure I can modify just a few dates. Do I just hope the rest of my remaining days dont go to someones WL or someone pick up while I am still trying to get them back?

This is what I was thinking about at 3 am this morning since BLT did show up yesterday, but by the time I quickly ran to my office door to tell someone something and come back and go through the process it was gone and wondering ladt night what would have happened to the rest of my week.

Lesson learned, stalking and getting the ressie comes before any work lol

Thank you.

I don’t think you can. You’d have to take the chance and shorten your existing reservation and book the new one. If you have the points you can always book the new one and modify 2nd or call into MS (if it’s open & if the dates don’t disappear) & have them do it.

This is why I decided against trying for a 2bd split stay BCV/BRV in March. I’m not willing to mess with our BCV dedicated 2bd with no guarantee of securing the other stay.

Thank you. I'm kind of in the same position. I have January 4-5 then January 5-12 in a one bedroom, preferred view at SSR. Would hate to mess it up too.
For my time frame, by the time I called into MS, I am quite certain the days would be gone (just as I have seen them come/go last few weeks).

Thank you.
 
I think the work around would start when you were first making your reservation -- if it is split into 2 reservations at the same resort and you request that it not be combined then it would give you the liberty to change one of the reservations without affecting the other.

In your situation you can still call into MS and have them modify, free up points and book BLT BUT there might still be a risk of losing the BLT room before they can complete. Maybe with the new system they can hold your potential new room until they can free up points but i'm not sure.

This could sort of work like walking if you don't have sufficient extra points to book the entire BLT reservation while retaining the whole SSR reservation.

  1. In order for it to work, you would need enough spare points to book one night at BLT. Modify the Jan. 4-5 SSR ressie to Jan. 4-6 at BLT.
  2. Then modify the Jan. 5-12 SSR reservation to drop the first night (Jan. 5-6, which should overlap with the BLT ressie).
  3. Go back and modify the BLT ressie to add the night of the 6th.
  4. Repeat the process of dropping at SSR and adding at BLT until you've reached the point where you have booked all of the available BLT nights you are looking for.
There is some risk that one or more of the available BLT nights could get booked while you are going back and forth modifying the ressies, but less risk compared to waiting until you have time to call MS.

Thank you. I am fairly confident that by the time I call MS, the days would be gone. I have been stalking for weeks, NON STOP, and see the inventory
that comes/goes very quickly, while some just have been sitting. It took a matter of about 3 minutes for the BLT nights to be taken, while I was in the process
of booking/making a phone call.

I just printed this out and will go through it step by step in case this can happen. Hopefully, one day before January 4, I can report back with success LOL
