room only - adjusting dates later?

[CheriePenguin]

We are looking at staying at POR the last week of October for 5-6 nights prior to our very first Disney cruise!! I am trying to decide between a Sat. and Sun. arrival date.

My question is : if we book a room only rsv starting Sat (for 6 nights), would there be any problems modifying it to a 5-nt (taking off the Sat and starting Sun) later based on airfares and changing our mind? I know adding nights could possibly be a problem if there was no availability, but is it easy to remove a day and keep the same rsv? Or should we wait to book the room until we're certain about which arrival day we want?

We're getting a bit of sticker shock adding up all the pieces now - cruise, air, hotel, food, ... Cutting the Sat. saves not only an extra day of hotel and food, but also the Sat upcharge for the hotel, plus at the moment about $100 of airfare.

At first we saw rumors of the possibility of free dining that got us excited, but then saw that POR has been excluded from that deal recently. I hope the crowds won't be worse than I'm expecting if they do end up offering free dining for that last week of Oct.

Possibly. Disney has started making people rebook with the new dates, not just "drop a day" from an existing reservation. SO there must be availability for the new dates separate from your existing reservation.
