Several years ago I had a 2 br. lock off booked at AKV Jambo. My brother canceled a couple months out (after my banking deadline) so I called MS to remove his family’s names from the reservation, they offered to cancel the studio portion for me, I opted not to do that, but they did offer it as an option.I have a related question at VGF and Lock-Off’s. What if you book a 2br lockoff for a week (387pts, standard, season C), but want to drop the studio at say 90-60 days out? Will guest services be able to let you keep the 1BR and release the Studio for those on the waiting list?
My alternative would be to reserve a 1br and a studio (414pts) so I can easily drop the studio. The cost is 27 points for the option. I understand the issues described above that the connecting rooms are NOT guaranteed. I would think it’s rare not to have the request granted though.
Any thoughts from you long-timers? How do you guys reserve rooms when extended family members can’t commit until 90-60 days from a stay? Ideally I book the 2br lockoff with an option to drop the studio.
