DCL DVC Member Cruise 2010 Wait List Question for the Experts

[mommacat56]

I don't know if this belongs here or on the DCL forum, but this pertains to the Member Cruise for 2010.

I've been a member since 1991 (old timer for sure), but I've never been on a member cruise. I decided this was the year and called in on the booking date (Nov 7th). I finally got into the queue at around noon, but after being on interminable hold (about an hour and 45 minutes), I just couldn't listen to the entire Disney musical collection one more time (and I love Disney music), I decided to hang up...I know, big mistake, but I just couldn't do it!

My question (for all you member cruise veterans) is....Is there even the slightest chance of a wait list request for a Cat 5 or 6 (and a Cat 11 on the same floor) coming through? I wait listed Nov 8th in the am sometime. Does the time you wait list even matter?

Thanks for any encouragement you are able to give. I was really looking forward to my first MC and hope my request comes through. I think I need a "boat load" of pixie dust!

Based on past experience you have a chance. I have known people who waitlisted months after the booking date and still got called (they then declined). What makes it harder in your case is needing two rooms on the same floor.

Good luck!

Thanks...I knew inviting my WHOLE family would present a problem! That's the reason I need 2 rooms. We couldn't all fit in the same room without going to a higher category (outside of the budget)! Thanks again for your reply and good wishes...M
