Long shot wait list

[nelsonkg]

I have a reservation for December 14-20 at Saratoga. And I will be fine if we end up there But I have put in for a waitlist at Beach Club studio.I am also trying to choose a second choice for a waitlist location and I know it is a longshot. What do you think has the most likelihood of coming through UP TO 7 days before arrival?
CCV (and if so - walk in shower studio or standard with tub)
BLT standard
BCV
Thanks

Hmmm...

• December reservation (popular DVC period)
• A studio (always a tougher request)
• Relatively large number of nights (6 is a lot for a wait list)
• Making the wait list request late in the booking period (lots of people ahead of you)
• Three of the hardest to get resorts and room types under normal circumstances (CCV at Christmas, BLT std view - even members who own there can't book those at 11 months, BCV is rare at 7 months any time)
• Post-pandemic travel demands (lots of points, people feel better about traveling)

I say flip a coin. You don't have much of a chance at any of them. You would have better luck at Poly, BWV p/g, or Kidani std.

I like the coin idea and it is a crazy long shot! I have had my BCV waitlist in for a while so I will leave that one. We have stayed at Poly a ton so I am avoiding that one this trip and we have done Kidani and BWV not ready for a repeat there.
I am excited to see SSR and have never stayed there so whatever happens will be ok. Thank you for your help CCV won the toss (tails) so I’m putting it in

Having a waitlist for 6 nights is tough in non busy times, In December it’s going to be pretty difficult.

I would take CCV and BLT standard right off your list as being close to MK for the Xmas decorations makes those resorts difficult to near impossible for non owners,

I agree BWV garden/pool view or even Poly for studios may be an option for near park resorts.
