Got in for 10/29!
Considering I started changing my November reservation to last week of October and hadn't 'clicked' that October 29 was a MM, I did really well.
I now have 4 nights (studio) at Boardwalk. First 3 are Garden/Pool and 4th is Boardwalk view. Then I move over to Swan to use up Marriott free nights. Waitlisted and stalked. I think I will keep that last night as BW view. I would have preferred to stay Swan first, but it didn't work out. I have 3 upcoming trips between now and February, all 7 to 9 nights.
