Waitlist Newbie

[JasonMak2000]

Attempting my first waitlist. 2 resorts that I am considering have an unavailable day right in the middle of what I need. I am not interested in doing a split stay for this trip since it's pretty short. It seems like the system is set up to make me make a reservation for the first half, then a separate reservation for the second half and THEN waitlist the unavailable day. Is that correct? Seems messy and complicated, not to mention if the waitlist doesn't come through I'm stuck with a weird hole in the middle of my trip. Any workarounds?

You can book it that way - the two legs that are available and waitlist the day in the middle. Hopefully it matches. If not you'll have to find something to do that night so it is a risk.

You can also book a resort that is available for your whole trip and waitlist what you want. So for example book a week at Saratoga or Old Key West, and waitlist that week at Beach Club. While a whole week's waitlist is less likely to match because every night has to be available at once, at least you're guaranteed to not have to switch rooms.
