We did the same thing for our trip last Thanksgiving. Eventually I got lucky and was able to get both bookings to be the same room type with APH. They were able to combine the reservations when we arrived, so we did not have to check in twice or change rooms. I recommend calling the resort a week before travel to have them put a note on both reservations if you are able to book the same room type for your entire stay...hhoope01, that was very helpful, thank you. By doing what you suggested, I found that the problem night was Saturday night, so I can make 1 reservation for Thursday and Friday nights, and then a 2nd reservation for Saturday night, all around the same price. You are right about the extra deposit, but we will go ahead and go for it. I'll keep checking though in case things change. Thank you again, that was very helpful!
