Waitlist Support Group...who want's to join?

[DevonsDisneyMom]

We have waitlisted 1 night at BCV in a studio for - Tuesday, 7/30. Someone keeps playing with the Sunday & Monday before! Hopefully it will work out.

I was running into the same thing or my dates!!! Everyday was available at BWV for my stay expect Sunday. Which was smack in the middle of my trip. Didn't want to book all the other days and waitlist the one night then heaven forbid have to move for one night if it didn't become available.

UPDATE: Something is happening?? When I logged in tonight, I noticed that the homepage shows my existing reservation (1BR, 2 nights) and only one of the two waitlists (1BR, 1 night). It no longer showed the waitlist for the Studio unit, 3 nights.

I checked inventory for my intended travel dates and found the Studio unit available for the Wed and Thur nights before my arrival. Ah-ha, me thinks, somebody cancelled something.

So what happened to my waitlist? I'm relieved to report that it still shows up when I visit the waitlist page -- but is missing from the homepage. Something is happening ... magic in the works, maybe?

I'm sure hoping that tomorrow I find that my studio waitlist has been filled and that my existing 1BR has been cancelled. Whoo-hoo!

===== UPDATE on 3/14 =====

Indeed, magic was working in the background. At 7A Pacific, nothing had changed ... but by 10A Pacific I found a new reservation for the Studio unit with my account in tidy order: the old reservation (1BR, 2 nights) had been canceled, my other waitlist (1BR, 1 night) was gone, my points were properly allocated.

So, to recap:
1) I went on the waitlist on 2/2 seeking VGC Studio for Memorial Day Weekend.
2) As of 3/14, I now have that reservation! VGC Studio for 4 nights (3 from the waitlist and the added night I pulled manually) over the Holiday Weekend!

Now to decide: keep it or toss it back? No worries, I don't have to make that decision today or even tomorrow.

My current success rate for VGC waitlists? 2 for 2 in favor of the member (me)! Eight nights this calendar year, all studio.

I am currently showing a similar situation for BC! Your post gives me hope for some pixie dust!!!

I'll bet there is magic working in the background for you! Best wishes!

Still waiting..1 night, June 24, BLT SV 1 bedroom!

 

[kenly777]

So still waiting to hear on the wait list that hid itself from my opening page this morning (which is for the last two nights of our trip)...and now my second wait list (for the first night of our trip) has removed itself from my opening page!

I can see that there were reservations canceled around my days, but mine have not come through to me yet. Crossing all if my fingers and toes!

Does this usually happen before a wait list goes through? I have been checking back ALL day!

Check the waitlist page itself (My Vacations > Waitlist). Mine still showed there even after they'd dropped off the home page. Seeing them on the waitlist page comforted me that the waitlists hadn't dropped off into a bit bucket.

You've been very patient waiting and checking all day. If I were you, I would have phoned MS sometime early afternoon. Good luck -- I'm sure there is good news!

Count me in the group here.

Waiting for a GCV studio for Labor Day/Half Marathon Wknd. In the meantime, we have a ressie at the Doubletree.

Hoping hoping for it to come through so we can be super close to the start line!

But did your wait list go through after they dropped off like that? If so, how soon? TY. This is making me crazy!!!!

Yes, my waitlist went through the day after I noticed it missing from the homepage. I believe I finally saw my revised reservation, with the new unit size and dates, by 10A Pacific.

Hi All - Have a vacation planned for mid June at BC but now thinking to make the most of our APs and leave 3 days earlier and extend the trip. Only need a studio since it would only be me and the kids for 3 days. SSR is available and thinking to waitlist BWV, would love to try the resort. Which BWV view has the best odds/opportunity, Boardwalk view, Pool/Garden view or standard view. Thinking pool/garden would be a good bet but wanted to get some input from the pros.

Thanks a bunch!

@ BWV the pool/garden view is the largest section, so gives you a better chance.

I'm a renter, so I'm not sure if I'm welcome here.

The member I'm renting from (this is our third transaction together) has us waitlisted at BLT, 1 bedroom lakeview. What do you think the chances are of the waitlist coming through for us? We were able to get a 1 bedroom at BLT last October with no problems, so I was unpleasantly surprised to be waitlisted this year. We got VWL instead, which isn't a bad second prize, but would prefer BLT. Anyway...what do you think the chances are? If you tell me slim to none, I'll stop obsessively checking my email. Maybe. ;-)

Also, shockingly a 1 bedroom at BCV was open as well. I wouldn't have expected that at 7 months with F&W going on.

I have two wait lists both are for a lake view at BLT. I'm hoping for this best to avoid switching rooms mid week and moving resorts the very last night.

I have been on the waitlist at BCV for 12/5 to add to my stay 12/1 to 12/4 for a few weeks. Tonight I was browsing the DVC website about 7pm as my sister is adding the dining plan to her reservation this July and I wanted to add her as an associate so she could call and add it herself. I noticed that my waitlist was missing from the front page, but when I checked under waitlist, it was still there. Whew, got worried. But I just logged on to check something else when I got home from work at 11pm, and I am happy to report my wailist was fulfilled!!

We are renting and are on a waitlist for a BLT studio. Which view do you think we have the best chance in getting? Am I correct that you have to pick a view, it just can't be for first studio available? TIA

I noticed my waitlist was missing from my front page yesterday afternoon, but it was still listed when I clicked on the waitlist icon. I kept checking all afternoon and evening, but it was still listed on the waitlist, but not on my front page. This afternoon, I got an email at 3:34pm, with my new, updated vacation itinerary. Yay! I guess the waitlist disappearing off the front page is a clue that it's going to come through soon!

Yeah, for you! Where and when did you get? My wl for OKW HH did the same disappearing act, then came through.

Have a BWV boardwalk view studio for Nov 11 to 16, have a pool/garden studio for the night of Nov 10. Waitlisted for boardwalk view studio for that night. I originally planned to go in December but changed my mind after my cold trip earlier this month.
