GF-Booking Next Week. Book full week or stalk.

[Madame]

No luck today. The days were there last night when I went to bed but at 7:50 am when I checked they were gone.
I am not sure I want to book LV, not because of the points, I really like and hope for a monorail view LOL
I am thinking I will just have to let the full week pass and then just grab days here and there for seven months, something I
REALLY didn't want to do again after obsessively end of December/beginning of January.

This is what was showing this morning before 8:00 am:

I could have went on at 8:00 am and booked LV from September 5-9 (I think September 10 was not available) and then got rid of September 5 by modifying tomorrow but I really didn't want LV and when I got into work and looked at 8:40 am, September 5 was gone. I could try to be on tomorrow and get September 6-14 (right now September 6 is available) but I really wanted Standard view. I'm thinking this is 7 months away and fairly confident I can piece together all the days eventually.

Madame, I am guessing you agree too? Anyone else want to chime in too please.
I am thinking I will have to wait for this full week to be over and then start piecing together my GF Studio Standard View for a stay September 6-14. GGGGRRRR, but thinking it is doable, do most agree?

Thank you.

Definitely. Waitlist the entire wk standard view & start piecing it together a day at a time. Good luck!

Thanks. Gggrrrr. Why is one day going at a time but not the full week. So crazy!
So, you are thinking I should WL the full week or should I WL one day for each WL.

Also, Im going from Friday-Saturday (September 6-14). Should I WL a full week Saturday-Saturday and then WL the first Friday? Im hoping I dont have to actually WL a full week so I could gat some days to book but right now I cant book until February 7 and thinking tomorrow that day (September 7) wont then be available.

Tomorrow I will do the full week since that is all I can do and begin the stalk LOL

Maybe split the stay in half & waitlist both halves then stalk individual days?

Yes maybe I should split. I will have to wait until end of next week to start collecting the days if they all go missing this week before I can book but Im fairly confident. I just didnt want to do this all over again so soon LOL.

Well, I was able to get September 7 today. It was available last night and again today at 8:00 am. September 8 is not available as of right now but September 9 and 10 are available, although that can change in the next two days. I am stalking (auto refreshing) for September 6. I have a WL for September 6 and a WL for September 7-departing September 14. Tomorrow, I think I will change my September 6 WL to September 8-14 and I'll use my second WL for 11-14 if those aren't available. I have September 7 and will stalk one day at a time.

I am updating my question and WL.
I was able to grab September 7-11 last night.
I am WL September 6.
I am WL September 7-14 since cannot WL September 11-14 yet, is that correct?
I am stalking September 6. September 6 is a Friday. Do you think I would have better luck WL a Friday - Friday or Saturday-Saturday?
Thank you all!

Thank you! I know you understand the angst!
The Poly LV is still available but going for it with the 8 nights at GF standard view and then hopefully getting monorial view!

Ill keep updating, so I hope!

Stay strong & resist
So hard to see a stray night somewhere tempting & not jump on it!

Happy hunting

LOL. Thank you!

Although I looked twice this morning, didnt see anything open.

I also had a WL for September 7-14 and one for September 6.

Just looked now and September 7-14 was available, I modified and took it! Why my WL didmt catch it is anyones guess and little frustrating but stalking has always worked for me before my WL came through.

Now just have a WL for September 6. Ill do an auto refresh all day at work and just grab it when I, hopefully, see it and then merge both ressies. Hopefully this wont take more than a week, Id like to just be done but SO happy I got the full week.

Now just need the Friday, September 6.

Thanks for keeping me from straying to the Poly, which is great but we just did it last year.

Hopefully I can update this week!

Well, it took me 12 days. I only needed Friday, September 6 and stopped my auto refresh when I went to lunch and just
looked at my phone (and then my Dashboard) at 1:56 pm and there it was, September 6-7, in my Dashboard since I had it WL.
So, it took me 12 days to piece together GF Standard Studio for 8 nights, September 6-14. I had to start piecing it together
starting for September 8 since 6-7 weren't available on February 6.

I wonder if the day popped up first on the RAT and then disappeared for my WL. I only wonder since I have had a few WL, where my
stalking won over WL. But, I was out to lunch and didn't have auto refresh on so not sure, but so happy it took my WL.

I have to say, this is the first time I have had a problem getting a studio at GF for the week after Labor Day.
However, I could have gotten the the full 8 nights the morning of September 6 for a LV Studio (I prefer and hope for monorail view) or 1-2 bedrooms.
I really could have gotten any monorail resort in a studio but really wanted GF this trip since we did the Poly last trip.

Just wanted to come back and update and SO SO SO happy this is done since I'm leaving for vacation on Thursday for two weeks, one of which is a cruise,
and I wasn't going to be online just to check the RAT.

Called MS had the two reservations merged into one and I'm done!

Yey me.
