Modify room at 7 month mark

[happiest in Disney]

I booked at my home resort at 11 months in a 2 bedroom, want to change at 7 months to BWV to a 1 Bedroom. I have been watching it everyday and tomorrow is the day I can modify. This morning when I checked the first night is no longer available. IF I modify online in the morning, ( what time can I do this?) and also if I put in the dates I Want how will that work since the first night is now not available? will it automatically wait list that first night? should I book that first night somewhere else just to have something? Never had to do this before. thanks for any replies...

You can modify at 8 Eastern. It will not create a waitlist for you. If you are trying to book right at 7 months and the first night is unavailable you have no choice but to wait another day. Good luck!

thank you for your response.... Will i be able to wait list for the whole time then? Tomorrow for the whole time frame? maybe its possible that someone is "walking their reservation" and it will clear.... I was just reading about that.... lol

You can waitlist for the entire stay today if the first night is not available. Good luck!

OK. Sorry, I thought your first night was going to be 10/16. You can waitlist the entire stay tomorrow if it's not available. Good luck.

How did you make out? If the first day was available and then today it wasnt but other days are, then yes, perhaps someone is walking. I would piece meal my stay but thats just me. I would take the days you can and just WL and stalk. Good luck.

That assumes that the OP has the points available to piece together a BWV stay while retaining their reservation at their home resort.

Yes, but I was not even thinking about keeping the home resort. I know October is very busy but life and plans change. I would just WL and stalk and piece together my trip. Good luck OP.

I Still have okw for the entire stay and waitlisted the BWV for the whole stay. the 18 - 22 is open at BWV so I may modify tomorrow, if they still show the 18th open, It makes me nervous though, cause now the OKW is not available for the 17th, I have it but I don't want to mess up.. I will modify for the 1 night at OKW and then try to get the 4 nights at BWV as 2 separate reservations. is that the best way to do it?

I don’t think you will be able to do a modification and split your existing old Key West reservation into two pieces. I think you could modify your existing reservation to be the 18th through 22nd at BWV and drop the 17th at OKW Ending up with a four night reservation. I know you don’t want to do that but I do not think you can do a “mixed” if you will, modification. If you really want boardwalk that may still be your best bet if it is available - modify existing OKW to 4 night BWV -And then wait list the 17th at boardwalk and somewhere else that you might be interested in. The one night wait list has a much better chance.
