I waitlisted for a BW view studio for New Year's Eve last year. I wasn't able to call until 12:30PM on February 1 (the 11 month booking window for NYE), waited on hold for 30 minutes, got through at 1:00, and all BW view studios were gone. I booked a preferred view studio and waitlistted for a BW view. This is the one waitlsit that never cleared for me. I waitlisted exactally 11 months to the day, 4 hours after Member Services opened, and the waitlist never cleared.
Traveling over a holiday week, and looking for a high demand room, it's not likely the waitlist will clear. I'm keeping all fingers crossed for you, though!
