Walking a reservation

How do I walk a reservation for 12/10/21?

This sounds like it belongs on the DVC boards.

But basically you book a DVC stay for 12/4/2021 for 7 nights. Then you go back on Jan 10 to cancel the first 6 nights.

You would simply book starting today for as many nights as you have points. Then, before the check out day of what you have booked, you move it forward until you get to the dates you need,

If it is a hard to get room, you have to go on right at 8 am and secure it. Until you actually get at least 2 nights booked, you can’t start the walk.

What resort are you aiming for? This time of year (depending on if you're trying at VGF/Poly/CCV/Riviera) you might want to move it forward daily or at least cover up Sundays to avoid getting blocked by a Guaranteed week.

We are trying for a BWV 3BR and studio 12/10/21. I was online at 8:00 am today and 12/5/21 is not available. What is the trick?

There is not one. You just have to be lucky. Since you want two rooms, getting one first would be my suggestion and that would be the studio,

I would not even try for anything but garden view at this point because the other two views are gone within seconds

Our priority is the 3BR. Is there advice for trying at 7:59am or 8:01am?

If you hit continue too soon, you will get the message that you are out of the 11 month range. 8:01 is somehow too late. You have to have luck

For booking that time of the year the only real trick is to get lucky and get the timing just right. Too early and the system will tell you to try again. Too late after everyone else and they get the room.

I have better luck on my phone. As soon as it goes 8 am, I hit book and then hope that as the balloons are double checking it was fast enough!

I have it all set with dates chosen from the calendar by 7:58 am and then watch like a hawk my time.

Took me 2 days of the same strategy to get BLT SV. Have tried for a 2nd room for the past 2 days and didn’t get that lucky.

Only trick i know of is luck. I tried for 4 days straight to get in for a studio at Copper Creek and finally was one of the chosen ones.
