October 2008 Waitlist Thread

[keishashadow]

My wait list came through for 10/8-10/9. I was still waiting for one for 10/9 to 10/10 (for my sister) although I called to add DDP to her reservation and they told me she wasn't on the waitlist, so I had to add her again. Hope it comes through for a big family trip where she's the only one not at AKV the entire time.

Unfortunately not. Theres still a lot of time to go so hopefully it won't make a difference.

I signed on this morning, and happy news, I got all my waitlist dates! I cancelled our 2 bedroom waitlist for the week, and am now happily reserved at the BWV for a 1 bedroom garden/pool view from 10/18-10/25.

What a happy way to start a Monday!

Anyone looking for AKV Studio (Savanna View) Oct 29-Nov 1?
We will not be able to go and could make someone a great deal.

Thanks

Just booked a 2 bedroom at SSR for 10/10-11, 13-15. Am waitlisted (with the cash ressie backup) for 10/12 and 10/16. Although if it doesn't pan out for the 16th, we might just end it a day early....

Waitlisted for a 2BR at VWL for 10/19 - 10/26. We currently have reservations at OKW.

We're waitlisted for the BCV for October 3-6. Currently booked at the BWV.

We really don't think the wl will come through but figured we would give it a try. We're just happy to be going back for F&W again!

Today, I booked a studio at SSR for October 2nd through the 6th. I am wait listed for the same accomodations @ BCV & BWV.

Had to change our trip dates from Nov. 1 to 4 to October 10 to 13 (Columbus Day weekend) because of work issues. Had a reservation for a garden view room at the Polynesian, but nothing available for those reservation points for our new dates other that Coronado Springs. Took it, as we have never stayed there, but I really dislike having to sleep in the same room as my girls, so I am on the waitlist for any 1 or 2 BR at AKV. I know that it is not likely to come through, but thought I would try.

We were planning on visiting 10/11-10/17. Right now we have a studio 10/11 and 10/14-15 at OKW and nothing for the 12th, 13th or 16th. We are waitlisted for those days at OKW in a studio or all of the days at SSR or BW. I'm thinking it's only a slim chance of coming through, but I will book for Feb. if it doesn't work out.

Thought I'd give an update, I checked with MS on 6-25 to make sure my waitlist was still active. It was......and nothing available. We arrive at BCV on 9-25 and due to check out 10-7. I have every day EXCEPT for 10-5!!!

I asked about availability at OKW for 10-5 to make a "backup" - was SHOCKED when MS told me NOTHING is available property wide at any DVC resort for a studio on 10-5-2008. There are 1 bedrooms available, but no studios, not even at SSR.

So.....I went ahead and booked a cash ressie at BCV with DVC discount. Hopefully waitlist will come through. DH will NOT be happy about paying for that one night!!!

Good luck to everyone else! I noticed there are quite a few of us waiting for the night of October 5th at BCV!

Oh..this waitlist thing is really nerve wrecking! I'm still waiting for mine to come through for a 1-bedroom anywhere at Boardwalk or Beach Club.

 

[Modog814]

I'm still waiting for mine too. I did learn my lesson though and called back to make sure I was still on the waitlist. Hope it comes through.

Are people being dropped from the waitlist early?? I'm going to have to call MS tomorrow!

 

[gouodux]

We are on the wait list for AKL October 8,9, and 10. Getting on the Magic on the 11th.

Have a 1brd reservation at SSR for those days currently.

I don't think people are being dropped from their waitlist......I was just surprised that our waitlist had not come through yet and called to "doublecheck".

Originally, I called day by day to book our reservations, which begins with ck-in on Sept. 25th. For the night of Oct. 5th, I was booking two studios - instead of booking both at the same time, the CM did one at a time. By the time she got to the 2nd studio, she was shocked and said, "oh my, I can't believe all the studios are gone so fast". I was cringing.....she was very sweet, but not fast on the keyboard. So she waitlisted me for the night of the 5th and I've been on it ever since. I say she was "slow" in booking because the CM the day before had both studios added to my reservations in less than 3 minutes - I kid you not.

As posted previously, I booked a cash ressie, since I don't want to move resorts just for one night, then check back in the next day at BCV for our last night at the WORLD!

Sprinkling pixie dust for us all!!!!

Update...just signed in and saw that my 10/16 date came thru. Still waiting on the 10/12...but doubtful as that's the sunday night of columbus day weekend...

I don't think we were dropped early, I just think we were never put on. I was making multiple reservations for family and needed 3 reservations to be waitlisted, the first 2 came through in a couple weeks so I figured the 3rd one had to be "the next on the list", but a month or two went by with nothing. Then I called to add the DDP to a couple of the reservation and just decided to ask if the waitlist came through and they said, they're not on the waitlist.

So my guess is they were confused and just forgot to add her (we do have a backup room as SSR). I should have confirmed immediately but lesson is learned now.

I just checked online - our waitlist FINALLY came through for our night of OCTOBER 5th!!!!

So don't give up!!! Hope all of you are able to get the rooms that you need!!!!
