What's the latest you've changed rooms for a reservation?

Wondering how close to their reservation people have changed rooms...perhaps even in the middle of a split stay?

Never mid trip but I’d say a week or so ahead time once.

Most of the time, by the time I am that close, I have the resort I want…which 99% of the time is RiV or VGF!

I switched to a BWV Boardwalk View about 10 days from our stay. It was still during COVID times though so availability changed much more than it does today.

Changed the front end of a split stay like 4 days out from a stay during a hurricane so we didn't have to move resorts on the day the hurricane was supposed to hit Orlando.

I have changed my reservation mid trip. I was traveling solo a couple of years ago. My initial reservations were 3 nts BLT, 2 nts BCV, 3 nts BWV pool/garden, 3 nts BWV Boardwalk view. While I was sitting on my balcony at BLT, I was checking availability and 3 nts at PVB popped up for the exact 3 nts I had at the pool/garden view at BWV. I modified my reservation right then, and I’m so glad I did! I had never stayed at the Poly before. I had a great time trying out studios at different properties.

I think it was like 10 days or so this last trip. I was still looking to change day before we left!

When the PP mentioned traveling solo, it reminded me that I changed rooms, but in the same hotel once with no notice. It was way back in 2001, when AKL was new and I'd gotten a deeply discounted rate to stay there for 2 nights. The first night I was on the fifth floor on the Sunset Savannah. The next morning I decided to see if I could try a room on a lower floor, different savannah, just to try out the hotel from different areas. It wasn't long after 9/11, so tourism was down and rooms were available in this brand new hotel, so I spent the second night on the second floor, Arusha Savannah. Didn't leave the hotel for those 2 days.
