I have successfully stalked two reservations in the past year. Availability changes constantly, and it is kind of fun to see just how often it changes. I was checking at least four or five times a day--whenever I had a few minutes.
The first one was a three night stay in a standard studio at BLT for Wine and Dine race weekend last year. I can't remember the exact details, but I probably cancelled and booked reservations a half dozen times. I was eventually able to grab one night in a standard, and two nights in a theme park. I then waitlisted the nights I needed to get all three nights in the same room, and eventually all three nights in a standard studio at BLT.
The second time, I was able to piece together a four night stay at CC less than three months out. I originally was just going to do three nights, and actually got that on a waitlist. I decided to add a fourth night, and put in a waitlist less than 60 days out. I continued to check though, and actually snagged the room I neeeded by stalking before the waitlist could pick it up.
So, keep checking. And good luck.

especially when you decided go after saying you were taking the year off and booked in Marc has for June, not a whole lot of available..
