October 2008 Waitlist Thread

[keishashadow]

Thought i'd start a home for those who are awaiting waitlists to come through for October, 2008.

It's a very busy time in the world, know availability was sparse when I checked @ the 7 month window for our dates late in the month; come on !

List your dates, resort & type (including backup plans/ressies you may currently have) & i'll add you to the list...make sure to check back to report your waitlist success stories! I'll go first:

[Inkmahm]

I have a pool view studio at BWV for 10/17-10/21, just a long weekend so that we can go to the F&W festival for the first time. I didn't make the reservation until long after the 11 month window. Just called last week to get put on the waitlist to change it to a boardwalk view studio as that is what we usually have when we're at BWV. If we get it, great. If not, I won't care for just a short weekend trip.

Those are 2 separate reservations for my sisters, 10/8-10/9 and 10/9 to 10/10.

Had a third reservation for 10/10 that came through already. WOOHOO.

 

[socashark]

We are currently booked in a AKV SV Studio for 10/23 - 10/28 and are waitlisted for BWV (all views) studios and BCV studio for those same dates.

 

[disney0210]

Waitlisted for AKV Value Studio for 10/12-10/13. Currently booked at OKW. Would love to not go back to OKW because we are there 10/5-10/10, then moving to AKV 10/10 - 10/12. Just wanted to extend our stay by one more night.

 

[MLK-RI]

Currently have a dedicated 2BR at VWL Oct 12-19.
Waitlisted for ANY 2BR at 1-BCV, 2-BWV, 3-AKV

10/4 - 10/11 BWV boardwalk view, currently hold BWV perferred/pool view.

 

[keishashadow]

posted in main section, our 2 waitlisted days came thru today that was quick! hope it turns around as fast for the rest of you.

(now we need to decide whether to do a split stay between AK & WL or just plant it @ AK for 5 days , nice decision to be face with )

 

[dgaston]

We are waitlisted at BWV for BW view. We currently have 10/16 to 10/19 in pool/garden view. Like Inkmahm it'll be ok for a long weekend. We're concentrating on F & W.

[Dawn16]

I was actually going to ask an 'October waitlist' question today. We're currently booked in a Savannah View Stuido at AKV 10/25-29. Because we'll have just been at AKV for 10 days in August we planned to switch to VWL at the 7 month mark for our short F&W trip. I was surprised VWL was booked and we'd have to waitlist. We actually haven't yet b/c we're traveling with other members and didn't want to end up separated if only one waitlist came through. We're fairly new members, however, I am aware that October is busy with F&W and such. But is this typical for VWL? I was under the impression that it would have more impact at BCV and BWV. Any guess on the likelihood we'd both end up getting into VWL if we do decide to waitlist? I suppose it depends on how many currently booked there are trying to get into BCV and BWV and how successful they are, correct?

I think it's by default. I booked VWL because BWV/BCV weren't available. If my waitlist becomes available at either, it will free up a room at VWL. I wanted to stay on my points no matter where we ended up. VWL is a perfect place to stay if I can't stay at home.

 

[Dawn16]

We ended up waitlisting for a studio at VWL, 10/25-29. We're currently at AKV for the same dates.

 

[Lora]

I just went on the wait list today for BWV standard studio for Oct. 9-12. We have an OKW studio booked as a back-up as well as my original 1BR standard at BWV for the same dates. I'm considering a Disney cruise and will need to downsize to the studio if we decide to go. I also have the BWV 1BR standard booked for 5-9 and 12-17. I'll be dropping 5-9 if we do the cruise that week.

FYI - I also just canceled a reservation for BWV 1BR standard from Oct 19-24.

cannot tell you how nice it is to just hop on the boat @ end of MNSSHP & head home my DS reminded me of this when i mentioned we'd be @ AK or all or part of trip ...at least he's paying attention
