The I Love BWV (yes, Hallways and Clown Pool too!) Thread

For those who care about my 11 month 2 bed resort view booking saga. I got my final night! If you try at 11 months and fail I urge you to keep at it for the first week at least. Some interesting notes.

For my dates, it seems people were walking multiple days at a time not 1 day at a time, when I assumed they were walking 1 day at a time I thought the chances were slim.

Rooms would disappear before 8am booking but then come back later in the day.

This morning the room was not available. I decided to add the day to the front of my trip rather than the back even though it was more points and not my goal dates. I booked it as a separate reservation and then cancelled my single day waitlist to redo the waitlist to replace that day. After I cancelled my waitlist the day became avialable. So its possible my WL had matched but not fulfilled.. I have no idea. The other days I was able to get I had also WL them and they never matched but I found them available on my own.

Anyway I hope this helps someone in the future booking endeavors.

The number of days being walked can vary due to length of walk, such as walking through a holiday or even a weekend. I am always forgetting the idea of walking, probably because I don't want to put in months of my time, so I always end up following walkers.

Still watching for one December night. In the middle of 6 nights. I may do Swan or Swan Reserve - hopefully they will be still available in July - for free plus $50. Need my new cert to do that.

I love that Swan/Dolphin is part of credit card rewards programs as a back up.
