MLK Weekend Chances

[nkosiek]

So, my sister never takes vacation and I was finally able to talk her into going to Disney in January during MLK Weekend. It will be her first trip to Disney since the 70s. I was able to book a studio at SSR for the 17th-20th and have waitlisted both BWV and Kidani. I'd prefer to be near a park (she really wants to do Epcot) since this will be all park all weekend. What are my chances of one of these waitlists coming through? Should I drop one for somewhere else that may come through?

Which room types did you waitlist at BWV and Kidani? You'll have the best chance waitlisting pool/gardenview at BWV. At Kidani I'm not positive but I think the best chance probably would be savannah view.

Since you already have a room at SSR then you ought to just waitlist other resorts that you would prefer to stay at. Both BWV and Kidani will have decent chances of coming thru. OKW would probably be a little bit better chance and would have 2 queen beds in the studios. BLT lakeview is another of the bigger categories for rooms but not as big as the others listed.

I waitlisted those exact categories for a studio. Was thinking of dropping the Kidani for BLT lakeview but was unsure. That's my home resort but wasn't sure I'd get it.

You also can keep checking online periodically to see if something else opens up.

Okay, no email, but I just checked and I now have a Kidani-Savannah view. So that waitlist came through. This could/should be interesting.

Congrats! So, in this case they should have cancelled your BWV waitlist once the Kidani one filled and you would need to go back and set it up again if you still would like to try and get a room there. Good luck!
