I need to book 3 nights. Can I book 2 nights and then 1 day later modify my reservation to add another night?

Bob is correct, the rules say Open Season reservations are not changeable. However, people have reported that they have been able to call and have a customer rep add a day or upgrade to a larger unit size if you ask them. I successfully upgraded from a studio to a 1BR one time.

There are no guarantees of this, and most likely it will not work. But there is a possibility.

Looks like it might be more risk than gains. I'd avoid this. Thanks for the suggestions folks.

Can you explain what you mean by risks.

If it's me I don't want to risk being stuck with a 2 night reservation that I'm unable to turn into a 3 nights (or at least that's how I'm interpreting the risk of trying to make this work).

It could also be interpreted as not wanting to wait until 3 consecutive days are available because someone could grab the first two before you have a chance to book. That is why people grab club season early before the full week is available, the booking system goes by CHECK OUT day.

Club season

But, with club season, you can grab the first three nights of a week and add the remainder as it becomes available.
