I agree Diane. Walking a reservation bothers me for the reason you mention -- it ties up inventory, making things difficult for other members and forcing them to make multiple calls and use the waitlist. I hope you and Karen will keep us posted on how things turn out.
Exactly. Honestly, I don't fault the system. If people used it the way DVC intended it to be used, it wouldn't be an issue.
It's when people start finding a way to beat the system, or get around the system to gain an advantage that it becomes a problem. Then it forces other people to start going around the system, too, so that they can get what they want. I've learned my lesson this year, and if I want to get my Boardwalk view room on a trip midweek in December next year, I'm going to be forced to start my reservation earlier to better my chances of what I really want.
Unfortunately, that's true with many things in life.
The thing that stinks about this situation is that if a walker called an cancelled a room after I called, someone else could get that room even though I tried for it first and I was on the waitlist on it (since I don't think the waitlist goes instantaneously).
I guess I'll find out in 2 and a half hours if I get the Boardwalk view for the rest of my stay. My guess is that I'll have the Boardwalk view for the first night within a couple of weeks. I'll post again after I call.
