I need to quit checking waitlist

[ExecChef]

I really need to stop obsessing about my wait list, I find myself checking it 3 to 4 times a day, and it's just crazy. I'm sure we will still have fun at least we are at WDW! I just need to sell myself on it.

I did the same thing! I checked before work, a couple times during work and then after dinner! I was obessed too! Then approx. two weeks later I went on and there it was---my new reservation!! I was so excited!! So hang in there and keep checking--you are not alone!!!

This was an anomaly, but it happened for my up coming vacation. I had 1 night BCV 3 nights AKV and DH found out he could come after work on Monday. The problem would be that he wouldn't really get to enjoy BCV which he enjoys more than AKV, so I waitlisted 1 night at BCV and MS was to keep the other 2 nights at AKV. It's a good thing I checked the waitlist because although I had 2 nights at BCV, I had nothing else!!!!

The problem has been fixed, thank youhowever, if I wasn't checking as often as I was, who knowsI could have even just shown up on June 15 expecting a 4 night vacation when I only had 2 at that point.

So check!!!!

Where do you check on the waitlist? On the DVC site with the rest of your reservations?

Update....WOW.... someone else just posted my answer in another thread today...Thanks anyways.

My WL came through! Apparently it came through on the 29th of May! I have to link the two ressies tomorrow, but we don't have to move to SSR for the third night!

I have the same problem. I am waitlisted for BLT in November and I check daily. I loved Kidani, but I really want to try out our new home.

I hear you... I was doing that earlier this year. We were waitlisted to go to HHI this month. Thought we'd try it this year, before I realized you needed to book at 7mos or earlier if possible. Lesson learned. So I was checking every day for the waitlist. In late April I got tired of waiting, and being frustrated, so I cancelled the waitlist and decided just to go to OKW in August and try HHI another year where we could plan further out in advance.

I check it at least twice a day myself. My sons each have their own reservation and are both on waitlist.

They will probably not get it since I waitlisted the entire stay and not just the one or two nights that were not available in the resort they wanted.

I hope so! I check before work during work and after, Its to much but I can't stop wishing

I am right there with you, I have waitlists for each of our next trips and I check atleast twice a day.

 

[popisme]

Okay so it is good to know that I am not crazy.... well at least by standards here.(thats why I love it here so much) I know I shouldnt but I can not help myself...

I check several times a day and I begining to think I am addicted to the rush right before you click on the "View Vacation Details button"


I am even trying to come up with other scenarios that might work....


Oh boy.... at least there are only 88 days left....... Oh wow I need my waitlist to come thru so I can start obsessing over making my autograph books and everything else I need to get done for the trip....



I SOOOOOOO wish that MS could tell us where we stood on the wait list so I would know if I even had a chance!!!!!

 

[BirdsOfPreyDave]

I do the same thing. I check it almost every day. Ours is just a view change, but I'm still hoping it comes through.

I'd be nice if there was an automated email when a change goes through on a booking.

I am right there with everyone. I am WL'd for BLT for 2 nights during our August trip. I originally was going to AKV (my DD13 really wanted to) and then the more we talked about things, the more we realized we wanted to try BLT. By the time I called, it was June so my chances are slim.

But, I check the site 2 times a day AND call to see if rooms open up on the other days of my trip. I hope MS doesn't keep track of how much I call...my DH says I will be blacklisted!!!!!

 

[rentayenta]

Multiple times a day checker- present!

 

[diesel]

It's nice to know that I'm not alone in this obsession!

 

[BigMama]

I waitlisted for BLT for Nov. and I was checking at least 2 times a day. The other day I checked it and it came through!!!!About 3 days later I got the confirmation in the mail.

So we will be in a studio lakeview from 10/31-11/6 !!!!

My waitlist for January 2010 just came through. We were waited listed for 6 nights a BWV-standard view studio. They called me last night and had a question and I called today and it went through. (I booked BCV for 5 nights, but wanted BWV for 6 nights -- MS was a little confused.) So now instead of using 65 points at BCV for 5 nights, we are using 66 points at BWV for 6 nights. I called exactly 7 months out at 9:00AM and one night was not available. Now I can book airfare when it's released.

Add me to the obsessed Waiting on the WaitList waiters!!

It's not pretty, and I'm not proud, but it is what it is!!

Excuse me while I go check my waitlist--haven't looked yet today--pretty good, huh?

I really need to stop obsessing about my wait list, I find myself checking it 3 to 4 times a day, and it's just crazy. I'm sure we will still have fun at least we are at WDW! I just need to sell myself on it.

We called right at 11 mos to get 2 BW view studios over Thanksgiving holiday. Only 1 was available, so we booked it along with a pool view, and WL'ed for a BW view on the 2nd studio. I was really bummed because we are treating some friends on this trip and wanted them to have a BW view, even to the point of considering swapping rooms with them. (They are REALLY good friends for me to even think about giving up my BW view...LOL)

Anyway, I checked my reservation everyday to see if my waitlist came through and it didn't for 6 months. Recently, I was busy at work and didn't get to check for over a week. Well, I finally remembered to check yesterday and, lo and behold, our WL had come through on July 5. So, I guess it's the "watched pot never boils" theory. So, you may want to stop checking for a while to see if the same happens to you. It's worth a try.

Good Luck.
