Successful BWV Waitlist Question

[barney44]

Ok here goes, I booked about the nine month mark for 7 days Presidents Week in a 2BR BW villa. Only got the preferred view and wait-listed for a Boardwalk View.

I checked online every now and then to see if it has gone through. At most there were only one or two nights available on a new booking. Just got the e-mail that the wait-list went through.

It made me wonder, how do they determine who gets a wait list. Is it number of points owned, length of ownership etc....

I am happy for the same amount of points we have Boardwalk View as opposed to Preferred view, but am curious how it happened for future reference since it never seemed that there was availability beyond a day or two split up over the week.

Thanks in advance

Ownership should have nothing to do with how waitlists are filled.

Disney doesn't publish how or when they do it, we have been told how it is supposed to happen but even those explanations differ.

I was surprised to get Sunday night of Veterans Day weekend about 28 days out, I only got on the list for that night a week before (studio preferred view).

Thanks in advance

Most likely someone cancelled a reservation for the same dates. You are close to the 30 day mark, that's when people on the fence cancel.
