All,

I was playing with the Classic system (since Revolution is down) and saw the Open Season page that everybody likes (and I do too -- that's a neat feature).

I noted this at the top:

"NOTE: Please be aware that available dates listed do not necessarily mean that the same unit will be available for consecutive nights."

My question: is it common when booking an open season reservation to have to switch rooms? Or is it merely a function of how the Open Season page works when showing availability -- and that it's possibility to determine where the same unit is available?

Please advise and thanks!

Best,

Greg

I have never had to change rooms with one open season rental. Even if you book two consecutive ones in the same room type, they will usually put them together if you tell them about it at check in. It is to their advantage to do that, they don't have to do an additional room servicing / cleaning.
I think the reason the warning is there is in case it might break up a "home season" reservation when there isn't much inventory in that room type at that resort. The home season reservation gets to stay without moving.

When you click on the type of unit you want to reserve, it will take you to the next page to show you the view type. You will notice on that page whether the views are the same type. For example, there could be a 2 bedroom at HHV Lagoon Tower with an ocean view for July 21 and 22 and a 2 bedroom oceanfront for July 23 and 24th. The first page would show availablilty of July 21 - 24 but the second page would provide the details.
