Still anxiously awaiting my points! In the interim, I had some questions

1. Is my understanding correct that I can book a stay starting exactly 11 months from today at my home resort, up to 7 days (6 nights) out?

2. Assuming yes, if I wanted to book a ten day/nine night stay can I just add a day on to my reservation each day past when I made my first reservation? Or do I need to wait 7 days from that day?

For example, today I could book a stay at Poly (home resort) starting July 26, 2026 through August 1, 2026, right? Tomorrow could I add August 2? And August 3 the day after that? Or will I need to wait until September 2nd of this year to do that?
 
Full 7 nights can be booked at your 11 months home resort. Adding on with a ‘Modify’ of the original can be done the very next day (day by day), or (more convenient way) because you’ll have the room locked to that original check out day, can wait a few days & add all your extra days at once.
 
Once you have that reservation, you no longer need to be up at ‘0-Dark 30’ to modify it. Anytime of day for all the modifying.

Oh, cool, so I could (for example) today book July 26, 2026 through August 2, 2026? Then tomorrow I could add Aug 3? etc

For the more convenient method of waiting a few days, I suppose I'm safe because my additional days won't be within the nominal 11 month window nor within a checkin + 7 window that could possibly conflict with my room type?

You can wait until the 29th to add 3 extra nights to the reservation at once, any time after the 8AM booking window opens.

Since you already have the room booked through your check-out date (which is still outside of the booking window), nobody else has been able to book the room on your check-out date, making you free to modify to add nights.

Yes this is correct. But I will add for the OP, I found member services very helpful with confirming how to set up reservations, which points to use and how to modify. Worth calling to confirm
