Waitlist hope?

[Phillyfan]

Hi, folks. We're new to DVC and doing our first waitlist. We'd like a one-night stay in Disneyland on 12/26, Since right after Christmas, it's not available now. Do you think we have a good chance of snagging the night? I understand that I can do 2 waitlists, correct? So I'd do one at each hotel. We have 7 people, so would need a 2 BR. Thanks for your thoughts!

Since it's one night, you might be in good shape. Also working in your favor is it being 2 BR versus 1BR/studio. But I've only waitlisted at WDW where they have a lot of resorts. I've had success with all them. Good luck!

Agreed with the person above. Single day waitlists have a really good chance of filling, especially since it’s so far out! I’d also recommend regular stalking of the website, I’ve sometimes caught room availability before my WL filled Don’t be alarmed if it doesn’t come through for a while though, be patient and good luck!

Since VDH is in active sales, they will be declaring more rooms at some point. When they do, it helps waitlists fill. So, I think you have a good chance.

Do waitlists typically get filled in days 1-30 or 30+ days out before your reservation?

I feel like 31-60+ days out would be most common when anyone trying to avoid going to holding wants to finalize their plans. Definitely less movement within the 31 day mark.

That's exactly what MS told me when my waitlist came thru at 31 days one time.

I filled in 3 days at BCV all within the 31 days, so it can happen!

Wow! That is an awesome score!

They were all one at a time, too! I was shocked, thought I was going to have to split stay.
