CCV 2br Waitlist probably

[DarthDadMan]

We purchased a contract with expiring points, so we booked something last minute for October. 4 nights in a 2br at OKW. Love OKW but WL will always be home to me. We’re doing MNSSHP and 2 nights opened up at CCV, and me being a gambler, I booked the two middle nights of the 4 night trip at CCV and the first and last night at OKW thinking in over 3 months certainly at least for 1 and likely both OKW nights, my waitlist would come through. Right? Right??? . How comfortable would you be with one or both of these nights coming through? There are open nights around them and not Wine & Dine weekend.

I don't have an answer for you, but I was just about to post a very similar question about a potential CCV dedicated 2-br waitlist in early November. I am torn between booking all four nights at SSR, which I'm fine with as my home resort, or booking the three available nights at CCV (missing one middle day), booking the other night at SSR, and stalking/waitlisting the missing night at CCV. We have not stayed at the Wilderness Lodge before. I would prefer CCV for something new and "research," but I know we do not want a split stay, much less a three-way split, with young children. How risky is the waitlist/stalking game in this scenario?

Of course, I am hoping some new points are loaded fast enough before availability changes to be able to use non-borrowed points to book the speculative CCV reservation while simultaneously booking all four days at SSR as a backup. That would make the above moot, but I do not want to over-borrow points.
