Q from a newbe. When you're on a waitlist, how can you tell if it comes through? Do you really have to call ms every week?

You can tell if it comes through by simply checking your reservation online. You will also be mailed a confirmation letter.

However, one problem is that MS limits you to just two waitlists at a time, and the two different waitlists cannot be for consecutive nights (i.e. you can't break a request for two or more nights in a row into individual waitlists).

So, in our case, where we were trying to get three nights during a very busy time, our waitlist would not be filled unless all three nights opened up at the same time. However, we would have been happy to get any or all of the nights if they were to become available, so I actually called just about daily for six weeks, both to check on our waitlist, and to see if any of the individual nights happened to become available.
