Apr 3, 2016 · Once you have a reservation, you can modify it using the online system to add or subtract days, or change resort or type of room. You can "walk" a reservation online, i.e., book for a time earlier than intended right at 11-months out and then drop front-end dates and add back-end dates thereafter until you have the dates you want.

One such potentially contentious practice is called “Walking a Reservation”. This is a method some DVC members have devised to help secure some hard-to-get reservations, which involves reserving a room days or even weeks ahead of the intended travel dates and then continuing to add and delete dates over time. This has been a minor controversy for y...
One group of people states that though the flexibility of the booking rules enables this practice, it is considered an abuse of the reservation system. They question whether it’s fair or considerate to other members to take advantage of relatively unknown “loopholes”, that it messes with the reservation system, and that it seems kind of like cheati...
Others think since that the rules allow these practices, it’s not their fault that not every DVC member isn’t aware of them. The rules allow it, everyone can do it, and walking a reservation is therefore not breaking any rules. It is not illegal or unethical. Others are taking advantage of it, so why shouldn’t they? Is it really a problem, they ask...
How does it work? You make the first day of your reservation start earlier than when you really intend your vacation to start. You then call into Member Services every day moving the start date of your reservation back one day and extending it on the end by one day. Eventually, you’ll end up getting the actual vacation dates you originally wanted t...
So, let’s assume you wanted to book a Grand Villa from December 24 through January 2. Instead of making the call on January 24, eleven months out, you start calling on say, January 15, booking what you can. Every day you call, you drop the first day, and add another at the end. You get a seven-day jump on the night of the 24th by doing this, and th...
I would challenge anyone who says this is really necessary at the 11-month window for most dates and room types. Frankly, I think some folks are walking reservations where it is simply not necessary. At seven months, it has a logistical issue – you get the jump on those people booking at seven months – but there is always the chance that an owner h...
Bottom line, the practice most likely does give a person an advantage over those who don’t walk a reservation. So, should DVC implement more restrictive policies toward reservation modifications? Placing restrictions on booking is going to harm the flexibility of the reservation system, which is one of the things that many enjoy about DVC. Would ad...
Personally, I don’t see DVC taking action on this. Most members are simply unaware of the practice so they’re not going to complain. The practice doesn’t harm Disney, and there’s no reason for Disney to take any action at this point. Placing restrictions on booking is going to harm the flexibility of the reservation system, so I’m not sure I’d want...
Feb 27, 2021 · With all Disney Vacation Club resorts set to be reopened by May 2nd, 2021, DVC is taking this opportunity to return to some sense of normalcy by reinstating pre-pandemic booking policies related to reservation cancellations and holding points.
