We own at AKV. We've had very good luck at snagging Value Studios in the past, but no luck this time. No availability for weeks now! I've got a standard studio booked for our travel dates of Dec 28-Jan 5th. The issues are:
* We are celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary on Dec 30th and may rent points to stay somewhere else on property or make a quick couple day getaway to a beach. I know I can modify a reservation but they won't let me just take out a couple of days in the middle.
* We only have 20 points left in our UY and really don't want to borrow.
* I'd like to waitlist for a Value Studio for at least a few days in early Jan. I know it might not come through, but I also know that there will be near zero chance of it coming through if I include NYE. I would need the waitlist to replace the existing reservation since I don't have points to spare.

Should I try to break my current reservation into 2 (Dec 29-Jan 1st and Jan 1st-Jan 5th) so I have more flexibility? How do I go about doing that? Do I need to put one reservation in my name and one in my husband's to avoid MS from combining? If I'm able to book a single day tomorrow morning for Jan 1st with my remaining 20 points will MS add the extra days on for me after I modify the first reservation? I hope that all makes sense! I'd appreciate any advice!
 
Never mind. I figured it out. I didn't realize that the modification feature would let you extend a reservation. I booked the one day of Jan 1st this morning. Then, I was able to go in and shorten our original reservation to 12/28-1/1. The new reservation is now from 1/1-1/5 in my husband's name. Now we have more flexibility and I can waitlist for a value studio. Finger's crossed that comes through!
