I wanted to add a night to my trip 11/6/16-11/13/16 and there is nothing available anyplace. I even called and they found nothing either. Shouldn't they have offered wait list?
 
Part of Jersey Week. Always high demand and surprisingly large crowds throughout. Plus less than 7 months away.

If you ask them to create a waitlist request, Member Services will happily assist. Note that each member can only have 2 active waitlist requests at any given time.
 
Just go online and create your own waitlist. Takes about a minute and you don't have to wait to talk to member services.
 
Thank you, I did attempt the reservation at exactly 7 months. When I called member services they seemed surprised too. I guess between F&W, the marathon and Jersey week that's why there's no rooms any where. Not looking forward to the crowds at all!
 

Not really a surprise. Nov 3,4,5 together form the key nights of the Wine & Dine race weekend, DVC's highest demand weekend of the year, when even SSR studios can fill before 7 months out. You can call again or go online to set up a wait list.
 
This is so disappointing! We're still in the closing phases of our SSR contract and we were hoping to get something that week! Glad I got the heads up! Anyone know if it's just this week or all of November that's busy?

Much of November is busy, and you are within the 7 month period. Creativity, flexibility and a sense of humor may be required to travel on points that month for you.
 
We tried to book BCV Nov 6-12 and nothing was available anywhere! I wait listed for a few months then finally switched weeks to Nov 13-18 and the only thing available was SSR! This is the first time I've ever had trouble getting the resort I wanted in 13'years of ownership! Crazy!
 
Keep trying. 3 years ago I had a res for BWV for the second week of November, boardwalk view, 11 months. Around the beginning of September, I found out there was an important conference at work that week. I looked to change it to the following week, I was able to get an AKV studio, changed my air. Then about a week later, I found out there was a conflict and the conference was changed to the next week. Ugh! Of course, my BWV studio was gone and nothing else was open. I booked a cash room and wait listed. It was 5 nights, Sunday to Friday. I stalked the website and saw a BWV pool/garden studio open for the last 3 nights. Booked it and changed the waitlist. Then about a week later, night 2 opened up, booked it and changed the waitlist to night 1. At about 28 days out, the waitlist came through and I had all 5 nights! Member Services combined them into one reservation.

Don't just trust the waitlist. If you have 5 nights wait listed, all 5 have to open at the same time for it to fill.
