Just wanted to let everyone know that I was able to modify an existing reservation this morning on DVC's website. It allowed me to change where I was staying without having to cancel first reservations until I booked the second one.
Yes. You would be modifying that first reservation, so the points from it would be used first before the second reservation is confirmed.Will this also work if you don't have enough points for the second 'replacement' reservation, i.e., you need the points from the 1st to cover the 2nd?

So if I have a longer stay than can initially book I can get on and just add a day everyday without calling now, right?
You could have done that before... For me their systems have always caught multiple reservations in a row (same resort same room type) and clumped them together. Others call or email later on once it's all done. But you could have booked those days as you went online...
You couldn't do that previously. You would have had to have waited until the 11 month day for the extra days rather than being able to add on prior to 11 months at the tail end of a reservation.
All he said was "So if I have a longer stay than can initially book I can get on and just add a day everyday without calling now, right?".
He gave no timing for when he was going to add the days. And I answered based on MY understanding of his question.
I've seen many people post about thinking they needed to call to book more days, thinking that's how they had to do it no matter what the timing was.

So, I want to be absolutely clear: Say that right at the 7 month window, I book 5 days, which now extend 'past' the window. Then, the next day, I decide to add two more days. Those two days are 'outside' the window, so I couldn't usually get them without calling Member Services. But now I could just go in and 'modify' my reservation to include them, and I can pick them up with no problem?
