*UPDATE POST 1* Is anyone else finding it very difficult to book what they want?

People must be walking those dates to have preferred totally gone before it's technically even bookable for members not "walking" the res. I will be TICKED if all views are unavailable as of tomorrow morning for our dates because we aren't "walking" the res at 11 months.* .

I've read several threads dealing with whether walking reservations is ethical. I hope it works out for you.

IMO there is no ethical issue here, only a rules issue. I'm on the record as believing it should not be allowed but since it is, that's the current situation we all must expect. There would be no reason to be upset with the system or people if one lost out due to walking.

book the nights allowed per the booking window, then call a Member Services and add on night(s) while dropping them at the beginning of your reservation. In some cases it assures you edge out others for the room but is not fail-proof.

Why is it not fail proof? I have never tried it or needed to, but would do it if it was not against the rules.
