We are waitlisted for 5 days at BCV in June. My DH and I were able to get one studio for ourselves at BCV 11 months out but our 2 DS's were able to get time off from work and are now joining us. We were able to book SSR for that time but would love to have them at the same resort as us....with busy lives family time is at a premium now. We requested the BCV room a couple of months ago and no luck yet but I have checked availability daily and sometimes 2 or 3 days are available. Is it best to just wait out the waitlist or to try and get the room on my own by doing it "piece meal"? I know that I would lose my place on the original waitlist so that's why I have hesitated to grab the dates as they come around.

Joining this group late ... I have a 2-night reservation in hand for GCV but am on the waitlist for 3 nights in either Studio or 1BR unit. There are only 2 of us going ... so the larger unit won't be particularly appreciated. We can stay longer (that extra night) if we can downgrade the unit size.

My fingers crossed ... and I'm stalking inventory online daily!

WHOO-HOO! My waitlist came through for the studio at Grand Cal! Now I have 3 nights in a studio (90 pts) vs 2 nights in a 2BR (158 pts). YIPPIE!

Wow - that was quick! Congratulations!

For my recent waitlist success, noted a few days ago, Disney kept me waiting until 30 days from arrival! The day before (31 from arrival) I had updated the setting to run until 7-days but worried about the possibility of holding points. Phew - missed that bullet!

Hip-Hip-Hurrah! for waitlist success stories!

Just wait listed a studio at BCV for July 14. We are going to Vero the week before for a couple of nights, then visiting family near Naples for a few nights before coming back through Orlando. We have 7/15-18 booked at AKV, but this morning started talking about tacking on a night at Beach Club. We've never stayed there and the boys want to go to SAB. I only had enough points left for a studio, but a 1 bedroom was available that night. Really don't want to borrow ... So I'm going to cross my fingers!! This is an ocean/water parks/pools only trip, so SAB would be awesome! Good luck to everyone else!

Yipee!! I checked the DVC site this afternoon and saw that our waitlist went through. Now our two DS's and their DGF's are at the same resort with us BCV! They're pretty happy because they love BCV as much as we do.

Is there a 'David's Vacation Club 11 month window' support group? So I'm not on a waitlist, buy I have a request in with David's for February 6-9 2014 studio at Bay Lake Tower. The wait until March 6th is killing me. My requested order was:
BLT studio standard view
VWL studio
BLT studio lake view
SSR studio

I know we are pretty much guaranteed SSR, but I'm really hoping for BLT or VWL. Please keep your fingers crossed for me.

So how does a waitlist work?

I have a 2br pool view at bwv for 1/2-7 and on a waitlist for 1/1. We booked close to 11 months and was surprised the pool view was gone.

How long will they keep it on the list? Are chances good it will come through?

Most wait lists are set to expire 31 days prior to check in, but you can set it up to expire 7 days prior. You will only want to do this if what you are replacing is less points than what you want.

I would think that this far out, your wait list has a good chance...but I have never booked that time of year.
