I am looking for 3 nights in December (3, 4 & 5) for 1 bedroom OKW. They have put me on the "Wait List" This is the first time this has happened to me. Has anyone had any luck being placed on the list?
I think it depends on the resort. I've had success with the wait list at OKW {very quick} and I am still waiting for a request at Beach club villas {over a month and a half}. Oh yes, it also depends on the time of year.
Waitlists definitely come through, but certain times of the year have become very popular with DVC members (even when it's a 'slow' time for the rest of the resorts and the parks). December is one of those popular DVC times that have become difficult to get a reservation if not booked early. BUT, you do have over 4 months, and OKW has the most rooms, so you've probably got the best chance at that resort. There could be members with OKW reservations who are on a waitlist for BCV, VWL, or BWV, and if their waitlist comes through it will open up rooms at OKW. Good luck!
