Has anyone ever gotten a waitlist for a two bedroom at BWV?

[bobbiwoz]

Because they are all lock offs, I wonder if it’s even worth the bother? I have a two bedroom at Riviera, so, I’m not far from Epcot. It’s a two night waitlist for May, and it’s a trip mainly for Flower and Garden with friends.

What are the chances do you think?

I think chances are slim, someone would have to cancel a 2 bedroom and hard to say how many have been booked for your window. Is there any harm in just leaving the waitlist on the off chance it comes through? Or are you thinking of switching the waitlist to Beach Club?

I have both waitlisted. BWV and BCV.

It is just that I don’t necessarily want to waste a wait list on some thing that has no chance of coming through.

That’s why I am asking if anyone has had a two bedroom boardwalk, villa waitlist come through. I have the pool view waitlisted.

If there are still 1 bedrooms, then you only need a studio to be canceled to fill, so I say it’s worth a chance.

The fact that it is only 2 days and in May (which is not one of the busy DVC times) helps your odds. If you don't want to use one of your waitlists then I would stalk the site and take one day at a time. Good luck!
P.S. I have a reservation for May 15-22. Will you be there then?

@jekjones1558 , sadly no!

One day I hope to connect with you in person again!

@bobbiwoz, what do you have to lose by WL both? Unless you have a need to WL something else for a different reservation, you might as well try!

I know, and I do have both waitlists, for BWV, and BCV. I suppose, I would just love to hear from someone that has had a two bedroom waitlist fulfilled at BWV! I need encouragement.

No experience here, but

That helps, a lot! Thanks

I actually started in a two bedroom at BLT, and because I do want Epcot, I waitlisted the standard view at RIV, and so, we are better off than initially

Nope but then I think I've only tried a 2BR waitlist there once. I have however gotten a week long waitlist for a BWV Boardwalk view studio that filled at the 31 day mark. I'd rate that fairly close to getting a 2BR pool/garden view for 2 days. Best of luck!

I waitlisted a 2 bedroom at BWV late August 23 for the last week of November and it came through about a month or so after. I suspect though that the construction for the refurbishment could have some impact so I wouldn't expect similar results this time next year.

Edit, more details:
I split the 5 night reservations into 2 separate stays thinking it would increase the chance of getting at least one and they both come through simultaneously. I called CS to merge them into one so we wouldn't be moving mid-week.
