Hi everybody
New DVC member and still haven’t made my first reservation yet but I’ve been reading about walking a reservation and I don’t feel like I need to do it but I’m having trouble understanding how it actually secures the reservation over someone else.
Example, if you want to reserve for 7 days starting December 1, your first chance to book at home resort is January 1. If you book a week starting November 20 (Booked Dec 20) and then each day you walk it forward a day, couldnt someone book it before you walk at 8am for December 1st (On the morning of Jan 1)? Or are the people walking able to walk it forward to December 1st before January 1st?
I guess what I’m getting at is I don’t understand the mechanics of how it’s giving someone an advantage. If you could share a detailed example with dates it would be greatly appreciated
Also how would this apply to people who want to book trips longer than 7 days?
thanks in advance
