Question about booking two rooms at once at 11 months out

[NHTikiBeckie]

Hi!

Hoping one of my offers on an AKL contract will be accepted soon, but I had a question about booking two rooms at once.

I want to be able to book two value studios at 11 months out at AKL. I know there aren't very many of them. How does booking work, will I have to call Member services or can I do this online? Is it easy or difficult to book two rooms at once?

When using the online booking, you can currently only book one reservation at a time. So, you would need to book one room from start to finish and then go back and book the second. I would think that you would have success with booking 2 AKV value studios at exactly the 11 month mark for most of the year, with the possible exception of the first week of Dec and some of the holiday dates. I don't think MS is able to hold 2 rooms and book them simultaneously, either. You could always try to "walk" one or both reservations if it is critical to get two value studios at a busy time of the year.

As stated, if you book online you have to book them one at a time. However, the 11-month (and 7-month) windows open an hour earlier online (8am eastern whereas MS opens at 9am eastern) so it's better to book online when you are trying to grab a scarce room type.

I hope your offer is accepted! It's definitely the day to dream of being at WDW instead of the reality of waking up to two feet of fresh snow tomorrow.

Nice to know they open early.

I have been watching the storm and it looks like Disney dreaming is going to beat the wicked snow you guys are getting hammered with.

I just did this at VGC for three rooms (11 months out), 2 1 BR and a studio and was nervous about it. It worked like a charm Now if my direct waitlist for more points would come through I could get a 2 BR and cancel the studio then DH ande I will actually have somewhere to stay.

Yes, 11 months from the first day and you can book up to 7 days. If you want to go longer than 7, then you have to call back to extend.

That's good to know...so if we did 8 days I could call the day after I book the 7 for it to be extended?
