My daughter made plans to visit Disneyworld in January. She rented a unit from a DVC owner, going M-F.
I can't take off the whole week, so I exchanged for a Su-Su unit, with the intention of arriving Wed. night.
Then my son and DIL say that they want to come too. Great, I say. Come Sun - Sun and you can check in to the unit (2BR) without a guest certificate (his name and DH is the same).
Then they tell me that DIL's mother would like to come for a few days. Good, I say, put her in the bedroom that we will have and she can stay Su-Wed.
Then, maybe they would like to stay on site. I put in an OGS telling them that if anything, I will only be able to get a 1BR in Saratoga Springs and only if the TPUs come down to 50 or below to match what I have on deposit. (I'm not paying a combine fee, and no one mentioned reimbursing me ).
Today, son asks me if DVC does not come through, can they get a separate 2BR off site because now maybe DIL's mother may stay longer, and maybe DIL's brother might want to come along.
So...I explain that I won't know about DVC until about a month before (when they discount the TPUs ). If, at that time, it has not come through, I'm sure I can find them something in Orlando because it is a slow week there, but at that stage of the game it will be whatever is available.
No, I can't book something now and then cancel if DVC comes through. It doesn't work like that.
Even after 20+ years of timesharing, they don't have a clue.
