Question About Online Booking

[Snoopygirl]

We are planning an 11-night stay in 2013 but I'm thinking of doing a split stay...6 nights/5nights.

Ok...so I can make my reservation today at my home resort but I will try to change at the 7 month window.

Should I only book 6 nights today at my home resort and then do another reservation for the 5 nights at my home resort at that 11 month window?? Will that make it easier so I can try to get a different resort when the 7 mo. window comes around?? Or should I just book as many days as I can now....keep calling to add on the extra days til I get to my 11 nights. Then, at 7 months, call and switch?? I just don't know if I should have 1 reservation to begin with and then call about switching at 7 months.

Never done a split stay or stayed this long so it's a little confusing and I know the experts out there can help me out with great advice!!!


THANKS!!

That's what I would do - make 2 reservations. If you do it that way, you can easily cancel the first 6 nights online and then reserve the nights at the non-home resort if there is availability. You wouldn't need to wait until MS opens. That would give you an hour's advantage over those who need to call.

Good luck!
