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

[TeresaNJ]

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

We are going October 19th-26th at VWL. I had booked a 2BR at the 11 month window at VWL with the points I had from that contract, but had to book a 1BR and studio at BCV with points from that contract. Then at the 7 month window, which was last Thursday, I tried to switch the BCV rooms to VWL, but the studio didn't have the first three nights available, and the 1 BR was missing the first night. Waitlisted them, and the studio came through the next day, with the first night of the 1BR coming through today.

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!

Fingers crossed. I had to waitlist a day in the middle of an OKW stay in the summer. This morning I noticed that it disappeared from my front page. Now I'm going to anxiously checking to see if it comes through!!

Pixie dust for you! This is a very good sign. What type of room and what week?

 

[bocaj1431]

I don't know if this helps but, I did not get the days I wanted for BLT studio TP view, so every day I would check availability several times a day, so far I have added 7 days by checking myself. I have just one more to go to make the 10 day vacation. I have the one day wait listed but keep checking.

Wait list came through this afternoon! Thanks for the pixie dust.

We're all set to spend three days at Old Key West, basic studio in the third week of August. Thought it was odd in the first place that I could get the Tuesday and the Thursday, but not the Wednesday.

We just cancelled October 15-25 at VWL. Picked up 10 nights at BWV. Hope someone enjoys those nights we dropped. I noticed that 3 nights were picked up right away. Good luck everyone!

Congrats! I had a feeling that was the day you were looking for as we are there the same week and while watching for our BC wait list for the end of our trip to go through, I kept checking occupancy at OKW. I was very surprised to see that day not available. Now there are a few more also unavailable. (PS our BC still hasn't come through yet )

A few days into the 7 month window, tried to switch from home resort to BWV September stay (9th - 14th) standard view. Thurs the 12th wasn't available and still isn't. So at least for now, I have BWV 3 nts Standard view, 1 night pool/garden view, and then back to a standard view. Kind of funny, but not funny, fingers crossed!!

We are waitlisted for Beach Club Oct 11-13 in a studio (currently at VWL) and a 2bd at beach club for Oct 13-20. Doubt we will get it, so glad we have VWL.

I'm glad some are getting what they want!

I fully realize I have no shot getting into BWV the first week of Dec....I hesitated and now I'm paying for it. So, I just want a studio, anywhere, to lay my head. I figure it will most likely be either SSR or OKW. Here's hoping there's room for me someplace!!

Do you own at BCV? There is a one bedroom starting Dec 1 for 7 nights

Nope, own at BLT and BWV! And I'm traveling solo, so don't need more than a studio. Something will show up at my 7 month window....hopefully.

Looks like my DD's waitlist is not going through. She is booked in a standard studio Jambo, but since it's only 1 night, I took a chance and waitlisted for a value studio. I figured since it's 1 night, the chance is better than most and it saves a couple of points. Since I don't want points going into holding, it will expire this Saturday. No big deal really, just curious if it would go through. Generally I rarely to never get a waitlist.

I'm still waiting, June 24, BLT standard view 1 bedroom.

Has anyone had success getting a W/L request for Boardwalk during F&W weekends in October? I worry my wait list won't come through. I check every day.

I guess it mostly depends what size and what view. I book my BWV October trips exactly at the 11 month window and this year when booking my standard studio my first night was sold out 15 minutes after the window opened, but that was standard, so expected. I bought BWV points for my October trips because I know how hard it is to get in -- and that's even at the 11 month window.

If you are waitlisted for a 1 bedroom, preferred view, that's probably the best chance. Good luck.

Oh well. W/L for a standard or garden view studio. I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

I believe the disappearing waitlist is most definately an indication that it's about to come through! Mine disappeard when I looked yesterday, and today I received a confirmation email. I had booked 10/4 and 10/5 in a studio at SSR, and waitlisted for a studio for BLT (Lake View) for 10/3 - 10/5 (hoping that MNSSHP is going to be held on 10/3). I think it took about three weeks for the wait list to come through. Now just hoping for pixie dust for the MNSSHP date!

My waitlist expires today and never came through. I had to choose the 31 day waitlist because I didn't want to deal with points in holding.
