Due to some last minute school changes, we had to cancel our January vacation and are trying to replace it with a week-before-Christmas reservation. Luckily I have all the nights covered, but with 3 different reservations (1 night treehouse, 2 nights OKW, 3 nights treehouse). I put in two waitlists, one that would replace the two OKW nights with a treehouse, and then one that would add a first OKW night (but I didn't set it to cancel the treehouse because I'd really rather get the treehouse).
I haven't done this sort of waitlisting before, so two questions.
* if the first night OKW waitlist comes through, am I actually allowed to hold two reservations for the same night with the same people listed? Does MS try to enforce any rules here, or is it just if you want to use your points that way, then OK?
* There is a warning in setting up a waitlist that if you waitlist individual days, you'll have to switch rooms. Previously I have always just asked MS to merge separate reservations when I wound up with them for some reason. Will they actually not merge waitlists if they come through (assuming they're for the same room type)?
I'll keep stalking, especially since there could be all sorts of other room types that might open up for the first 3 nights, but hopefully the treehouse waitlist will come through....
Thanks,
Bruce
