Waitlist came through question

[luckyman_apd]

So last minute plan, we got a room for good friday. It was all booked up. Kept checking and the first room open we took. (studio). Then a few days later we decided to stalk the website for a room on Thursday night. We managed to get two nights at two different resorts AKV & OKW within two months of arriving on Easter weekend. I was overly happy to get them. Just for the sake of trying we decided to waitlist a Thursday night at OKW to replace the AKV so we wouldn't have to change rooms and sure enough, I just looked and it came through. It is showing two separate trips on the on the home page when I log in. Do I need to call MS to have the two nights linked together?

I would have them linked, so you won't have to change rooms. You still might need to checkout and in on day two though.

That's great that you got your rooms! Happy for you. I guess you are just a lucky man - !It wouldn't hurt to call MS and have them do what they do to make you not risk changing rooms or having to check in and out and in again.

Haha. Yeah, got that nickname in college. Lots of times, I just luck out....and things fall right into my lap! Never plan it that way, it just happens.

If you stalk the website for reservations, it is interesting what you see. Rooms open up and fill all the time.....sometimes in a matter of minutes. We knew at short notice we were a long shot to get a room, let alone two nights in a row. I stalked the website for open studios for Good Friday and after about a day 1 at OKW opened up. Took about 3-4 days for a room Thursday to open. Got a value studio at Jambo. I kept searching to see if either room would open for a two night stay in either. That got tiring logging in and searching several times a day, so I gave up. We talked it over. We were fine doing the split stay over two nights, but decided to wait list OKW just in case. It came through within a week! So if you are persistent enough, you can find what you are looking for.

Even last night studios were open at boardwalk and SSR for Good Friday. I did get MS to connect the two nights after the wait list came through. I got a whole new reservation number for it.

Yes, I was doing some stalking yesterday.

I saw the BWV garden view studio for Friday and Saturday night, but I am at AKV Jambo Savannah on Friday, and leave on Saturday, though I thought about just booking it and staying. I'd rather look at animals then the scary clown!

I also booked a split stay of sorts - starting out at BWV, going to the beach for a couple of nights, then back to Disney.

But I am terribly frustrated in that I want to get into my account and juggle my xmas 2013 reservation again and I'm locked out as many others are.

Has anyone gotten a fix from MS and actually gotten back in?

I hope mine works out too!

Keep checking the website. Sometimes you'll get it that way.

The waitlist can work also.
