OKW-Connecting a studio and 1 bedroom?

[jekjones1558]

For our November trip we have one couple who will not know until quite late whether they will be able to join us. I have already sunk most of my points into this trip so I can't reserve a 2 bedroom and a 1 bedroom without borrowing more points. Will MS let me reserve a studio and a 1 bedroom separately but have them be connecting? It will be more points than a 2 bedroom, but then I can just cancel the studio part if this couple can't make it. I have also considered just taking my chances but am afraid that Nov. 11 - 18 might be tough to cancel a 1 bedroom and get a 2 bedroom on about 60 days notice. Any advice appreciated.

MS will note it as a request, but it would not be guaranteed. The only way to be certain that the rooms will connect is to reserve a 2BR. If you have enough points, I'd reserve the 2BR and the 1BR and cancel whichever you won't need (as long as you know 31 days or more in advance).

Good luck!

Doc,
Do you know how many 1 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms there are at OKW? My guess is that 1 bedrooms are easiest to get (like in other DVCs). Maybe I could risk booking the 2 bedroom lock-off and cancel it and hope for a 1 bedroom if DB can't make it. Maybe if there is a waitlist for a studio I might get lucky and they would split the 2 bedroom? Worst case I would waste points and have only 2 people in a 2 bedroom. If this weren't my brother (who is in charge of a big changeover at work that is behind schedule) I wouldn't be obsessing!

There are 274 dedicated 2 bedrooms. 230 1 bedrooms and 230 studios (all of which can be lock-off units)

Hmm, I could swear we had a 1-bedroom at OKW that had no lock-off to a studio. Did I just imagine that? I know we had a 1-bedroom at BWV that had no lock-off. Now you having me second guessing myself.

Thanks, Chuck. I'll have to do some thinking about how those numbers affect my odds. It amazes me how fast I can always get info on this site!

All one bedrooms and studios at OKW are lock-offs, no dedicated.
