Best option to waitlist?

[ddavey4923]

I'm currently in a 1 bedroom at SS for 11/7-11/10 but would prefer to be in a studio (any resort) or a 1 bedroom at one of the Epcot resorts or BLT. So I want to use my waitlist for something that I actually have a shot at getting (i.e. not a standard view studio at BLT).

I think I get 2 options for waitlist, what do you think I would have actually have a shot at getting? We're not big fans of SS so we'd like to get out of there.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Studios are generally the first to book up since they cost low points. You will be at the tail end of the F&W Fest so an Epcot resort chance will be slim. The BWV is bigger than BCV so you might have a better chance of getting a room there. Pool/garden view BWV I believe has the largest number of villas. Standard and boardwalk are only 20 percent or so each of the resort vs 60 percent pool/garden.

I'm not sure about BLT so I can't help you there.

From my experience I would suggest you wait list OKW.

I agree if you want any resort WL at OKW or AKV as they are both large resorts . But OKW doesn't have any view categories so it's easier to WL there.

If you are not interested in OKW or AKV, I would WL at BWV in a Pool/Garden view and at BLT, WL a Lake View. Those two resorts and categories will give you the best chances in get a room as they both encompass a larger percentage of rooms at each of their resorts.

Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. Are the chances of getting a 1 BR a lot better than a studio at lets say BWV or BLT?

Right now your odds of getting anything at that time are pretty close to zero. The odds of getting a one bedroom would be slightly better than zero, but its like buying two lottery tickets rather than one.

I'd include waitlist for a studio at SSR as one of your 2 waitlists. That is the one most likely to come through.
