We have 1 BR BWV from 10/29-11/14 prefered view. We're waitlisted for a boardwalk view. I broke the stay into two reservations to make it easier to increase my chances.

CONGRATS!!

That has to be such a relief not to worry about that ONE night anymore (out of a two week vacation). That would have been NO fun having to switch resorts for one night and then switch back.

Here's to hoping everyone else the same luck

We are waitlisted for a studio for all views at BWV 12/18 thru 12/23. We are currently booked in a studio at OKW. If it doesn't come thru we will still be there.

Congrats to everyone with their successes and good luck to those waiting

I called MS and asked if there was any info on my waitlist and she said "yes they both have been through and that they just haven't called you yet" (I'm on the call first/ not the automatic)

My success story..... VWL studio Nov. 30th (coming in early for the condo meeting on the 1st) and.... BCV studio Dec. 5th - 10th (I had a one bedroom so that'll free up for somebody )

 

[J and R's mom]

My waitlist for BCV came through today for 11/27-12/2, so that freed up a 2br (or a studio and 1br since they're lock-offs) at BWV preferred view for someone else....Good luck to anyone needing it and to those hoping for other waitlists to come through...

I'm wait listing for a studio the night of Dec. 4th at the Boardwalk. If I get it, I'm going to be taking the night of Nov. 29th off my ressie. Right now, I have the night of the 4th booked on points at the POFQ (have 15 ressie points I need to use), but would prefer to start my trip there rather than end it there.

I had resolved not to give up hope and just go with the "failth, hope, trust and a little pixie dust" quote on my Tink shirt and sure enough we got our last day of our GV waitlist at check-in thanks to the help of Naomi our CM at OKW ! What a wonderful thing not to have to pack up and move to the Studio and 2bdrm villas for one last day.

Never give up hope, but always have a backup plan!

Loads of Pixie dust to all who are still waiting and thanks to all who sent he Pixie our way.

waiting for studio BCV Dec 11 & 12 - have 13-18. Will cancel
last two nights if it comes through.

I just changed my 16 day pref. view stress-free vacation at the boardwalk into this:

Oct. 29th BW view
Oct. 30th,31st Pref. view/waitlist BW view
Nov. 1-3rd BW view
Nov 4th Pref. view/waitlist BW view
Nov 5th BW view
Nov 6-14th Pref. view/waitlist BW view

If I can just pick up the 30th,31st and 4th I'll be fine, if not, and we have to keep changing rooms, I may be staying in Toontown with Pluto. My parents have a 1 bedroom the same time so one switch in the middle will be no big deal.

I am waitlisted for a 2BR at VWl 12/5-12/10, I have a 1BR at BCV so I'll still have a place to lay my head. Hoping for VWL Does anyone think I have a chance???

 

[cindybelle]

We currently have a studio at OKW but we're waitlisting for a SV Studio at the BW from Dec 4-11.

All these members saying they've called and getting told their waitlist came through makes me want to call too....it's so hard waiting!

Here's some pd for everyone's lists!!

 

[MermaidJan]

I used the DVC Member website to request a reservation on Friday, June 10th. How long does it usually take them to respond?

Would I be better off call MS directly?

I am requesting a Studio at BCV for 5 nights the week of October 23rd.
What are my chances?

 

[MLK-RI]

MermaidJan, I've gotten responses back anywhere from 24 to 72 hours, usually followups are much quicker than the initial contact. But considering that is a busy time due to Food & Wine Fest. I would definitely call them.

Good luck!

 

[Good Ol Gal]

We're still waiting. I called this morning and nothing has come through. Maybe next week

 

[MermaidJan]

Thanks for the reply MLK-RI.

I call MS and we are book at SSR for Oct 2005.

I put in a wishlist for BCV so now I just have to wait and see.

Sending loads of Pixie Dust to my fellow waitees.

I am so happy I am going

Might as well join in here. We are waitlisted for 10/16-10/23 at BCV. We currently have a ressie at VWL for 10/16-10/22, but decided that we would like to stay one more night, so we are also waitlisting for 10/23 at VWL too. I know that our chances are slim at BCV since I waitlisted for the entire timeframe....DH HATES switching resorts, so I kind of hope that we hear something soon about the one day at VWL.

On the average, how far in advance have people been hearing about their waitlist status?

 

[MLK-RI]

MermaidJan,
Excellent - so glad you were able to get something. I look forward to trying out SSR one of these days. But I'm with you as we are also wait listed at both BCV and BWV just to be within walking distance of Epcot for F&W.

MaryJ
We've had wait lists that came through and wait lists that didn't. If we get inside the 60 day window and we still don't hear I usually figure it won't be coming through - but I stay on until the last minute!
I've read on these boards all sorts of stories and how waitlists have coem through right away or at the last minute so I don't think you can ever really tell.

Pixie dust to all
