Question about switching ressie at 7 months

[DisneyMSF]

I'm thinking about trying to switch our AKV reservation for late August to BCV. (We're traveling with our Nephews and I think they would love Storm Along Bay). I figure my best chance of getting the reservation is to call day by day, which I don't mind doing. But I am going to have to cancel our AKV reservation as I make the BCV reservation. I don't want to get halfway through the day by day calling and suddenly not be able to get one of the nights in the middle of the trip.

My question is, can I call member services say the day before I was going to start changing my reservation and find out what availability looks like for the week? Will member services give out this information? (And do they mind being "bothered" with these kind of requests?)

Yes, you can/should ask MS about reserving your reservation for BCV. I'd just ask when you call for the first day how the availability looks and plan accordingly. MS will advise based on the status of availability.

Late August is usually a good time to find availability - especially 7 months ahead.

Good luck!

That's what I did for our mid-July reservation. For each day I booked the BCV, they cancelled a day at AKV. (Although, the one day the lady forgot to cancel the AKV and started to ask me about borrowing - I had to remind her to cancel, so the points would come out okay.)

They were able to tell me early on what the general availability for the whole week was. I was sure to call at the exact moment of 9AM, though! The one day I waited five minutes, and that call took almost half an hour! Call RIGHT AT 9!

Good luck!

Thanks WebmasterDoc and JenSop for the info! I'll be giving it a try in a few days... I'll be sure to try to call right at 9am each day.
