7 day rule applies at 7 months you are swapping to none home resort.

Yes in terms of changing the booking, bang on 7 months you could only amend the 10 nights and change it to a 7 nights somewhere else. If you wanted to change all 10, you’d have to wait until 3 days after the 7 months window and then change the lot for another resort, if still available.

If you are planning to switch at 7 months, it’s worthwhile doing forward planning. On a 10 day stay I’ll usually split in 2 and do a split stay. However, you could have booked a 7 night and 3 night. Then if you wanted to be at the same resort for a whole 10 nights, switch one on 7 months then the other (if available) 3 days later. You can then call member services and have them merge the bookings.

Whenever you do this though, with 2 bookings straight after each other in the same room type at your home resort, until plans are finalised book one in the name of one of your party and the other in the name of someone else in the party, otherwise they sometimes auto merge them.
