Can you waitlist for every remaining WDW DVC resort?

Can you put as many resorts as you want on the waitlist? We own at BWV, and have also stayed at OKW, SSR and BCV. Our next trip (less than 30 days away) we've got two night at SSR in the middle of our 4 nights, and we're waitlisted for BWV and BCV; Epcot resorts are our favorite place to be. (DH's definition of Disney bliss is to walk to Epcot every night for Illuminations.)

We'll be in BWV on each end of the trip, and ideally, we'd be there in the middle too (altho, different room types, so we'd be switching rooms anyway). However, I've since been thinking that we should have also waitlisted for at least AKL and VWL, just because if we can't get our first choice location (Epcot area), we might as well try something new. I'd take OKW too, even tho it wouldn't be new to us.

SSR is a lovely resort, and altho I love everything DVC :teeth:, it's really my last choice of "I love all DVC resorts, but in order of preference...".

COULD I have put ALL the resorts...BWV, BCV, AKL, VWL on our waitlist? Is it worth it (or even possible) to do it now (less than 30 days out)?
 
You sure can - we did this very thing. We needed a studio for just one night, Mar. 12, and I called about three weeks out, and told MS that "anything would do," because we love them all.

A couple of days later we were confirmed at OKW. So, yeah, it's doable.
 
Yes you can. You'll have to tell them exactly what view you want, and they'll put in a wait list for each resort. I just did it 2 weeks ago for Easter week. And actually got VWL 1 bedroom! The wait list cleared last Sat. I was kinda surprised.
 
Yes, but the downside is that you get the first one to come through. At that time, the other waitlists are automatically canceled.

So for example, if you waitlisted for all WDW DVC resorts, but really wanted BWV, and OKW came through first, you'd have to start over at the bottom of the waitlist to maybe get BWV. You'd have been better off to just waitlist for BWV.

Waitlisting for all is a good idea if you have nothing, but not (IMHO) if you already have a back up and want something else in particular.
