Wait List Survey

[disneynutz]

We never seem to be lucky enough to get our wait list reservations filled. I just wondered how is your luck?

About 50 - 50, and I have to add that since I have read about calling and asking...I do ask WHEN I'm calling for something else, and it has never been the case that "something just became available."

I do check on line every day.

So far, so good!
Really hope I didn't just jinx my waitlist for AKL at Christmas

I added on at VWL a few times, April UY, and have not had to wait.

We are currently wait listed for our next two trips. I have seen several posts where Members are talking to MS and when asked to check their wait list, the CM tells them that it just came through. Seems pretty coincidental.

I should have been more clearer. I asking about reservation wait lists.

I am about 50/50. Maybe a little more like 60/40. But I have never gotten a waitlist by calling to check on it.

My waitlists have always come through but I'm getting nervous about this trip's waitlist. Waiting for two more days and only have a little more than 3 months left. I've always had them come through much sooner but still keeping my fingers and toes crossed!

We're waitlisted since early June for upcoming Nov stay. Still waiting and hoping! This is our 1st time on a waitlist.

Waitlisted for a 2 br at SSR Nov. 21st and 22nd. We have been on the list since May...so far no luck. This is our first time trying.

We've waitlisted multiple times, and the only W/L that didn't come through was one night (of 6) in a 1-BR SV BWV villa (we did have PV for that night, and SV for the five following nights)...everything else--including T-giving at SSR at 5 months out (when we bought in) came through...sometimes quickly, and sometimes not so quickly...never got a "it just came thru" when calling MS...

Didn't vote as my waitlist record is more like 80% of the time it comes through. The ones that haven't have been for VWL last week in Nov. I have had Christmas and NYE ones come through but not that VWL one.

We've gotten all of our waitlist requests except one. It was during Jersey Week and all of DVC was sold out. Not a room available at any of the inns. We lucked out with a room at POP.

I'd have to say that the waitlist system has been very good to us! We are also pretty flexible too. We are not too choosy on the resort, although we don't like moving from one resort to another resort because we have a ton of stuff (it's the kids' stuff --- honest ).

The waitlist has always worked for me (the 3 times I have used it), but I never waitlist for more than one night since I don't like dealing with uncertainty.

we have been on waitlist since Jan. for 3 boardwalk view studios for Nov.22.....2 came through , 1 still has not......hope everyone gets what they need!

 

[ShuisFan584]

Our first two DVC trips were at OKW and SSR and we didn't need a waitlist. We booked our May 2006 trip in January 2006. We had to book for OKW and got on a waiting list for BWV preferred/Boardwalk. Our waitlist came through within a month. I'm sure we'll need to get on a waitlist for January 2008, but I hope the waitlist comes through just as quick and easy!

 

[J and R's mom]

I voted that ours tends to come through when I have called in the past.

For this trip, though, nothing has come through yet...and it's going on 2.5 months now. We still have 4.5 months to go so we'll see.

I don't waitlist day-by-day. I don't like risking the move in the middle of the vacation, so that narrows our chances some.

We are at ablout 50/50. Two trips did not come through at all. We are flexible as to which resorts we would take (any of them). One time it was even before the 7 month period at our home resort.

When our waitlist has come through it was while I was on the phone with MS. This does seem coincidental but we got a room.

I guess it just depends...
