Took 6 years to get on a waitlist

We've been exceedingly fortunate to have booked every trip on the first try for 6 years. I think it's been about 15 trips. Even when we switched at 7 months, we always got lucky first try.

I just tried to switch to BLT mk view at 7 months. We got a bay lake view and are extremely grateful for that. But, decided to waitlist for an MK view. If we don't get it, no big deal. We are always just happy to be at WDW no matter what.

Anyway, I waited 6 years to get on a waitlist and I finally got one.

Good for you and good luck on your waitlist. I had waitlisted MK view as well as I too got a lakeview at 7 months. But after being at the WLV last week and looking out on the lake from our balcony and riding around on the boats, I talked myself out of it and cancelled the waitlist. I am saving my points and sticking with the lake view as I really do love it.

Don't despair if the waitlist doesn't come through. Our lake view was fabulous. We were out on our balcony the majority of the time we were in the room.

Completely agree. We've talked about MK view, but I loved watching the lake activity, Epcot fireworks, DHS fireworks, monorails, Electric Water Pageant, etc.

We did the same thing on Saturday for three nights. What type of room are you on the waitlist for? We are hoping for a one bedroom, but if it doesn't come through, lake view will work, I am just hoping it comes through so I don't have to change rooms!
