Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Laura!
Welcome back to planDisney. How exciting that you have a great big beautiful Disney vacation on the horizon. It looks like you will be here during the most spooktacular time of year. It's one of my favorite times to visit Mickey and friends and see the parks, outfitted in their festive fall decor.
Laura, I just checked with Disney Vacation Club Member Services, and they confirmed that when you purchase the one-time Vacation Points as part of the
Member Magic Beyond program, you can only apply those
Vacation Points for new reservations or to add days onto an existing reservation. They can't be applied to a current reservation in lieu of the Vacation Points you have already used to book the reservation. If you want to use those points for the reservation you have planned, you would have to cancel it and then rebook it (but note that all rules around canceling and modifying Disney Vacation Club reservations would apply if it is within one of those windows, i.e., less than 31 days to your check-in date).
Hopefully, you can add some extra days of magic to your reservation and be able to use these one-time use Vacation Points to add even more pixie dust to your vacation! You can call
Member Services if you would like to do this, and they can assist you with making your vacation dreams come true.
I hope this helps you, Laura! If you have any further Disney Vacation Club questions, soar back here to see me, and I'll be so happy to help you.
Magically Yours,
Keri
