We are waiting for one more room on Nov. 10 just for one night at BWV..Hoping to get it so we are all together when we leave on the 11th.

I was able to grab the final night at BLT the other day, now we are wait listed for the first two. Hoping it comes through!!

Does anyone know if doing online check-in will lessen my chances of getting our wait list? Still waiting for Boardwalk during our anniversary weekend.

Shocked! My waitlist just came in!!!! Wow! I never thought it would happen at this point in the game. (We booked right at 7 months as renters). So now we are in a standard studio at BLT. While I would have still loved the sav view at AK Kidani having the monorail with a 3 year old will be perfect. I'll try AKV next time.

I had a reservation for BWV 11/11-16 with 11/10 waitlisted but had to cancel due to a work conference. Changed to 11/21-25 at SSR, with waitlist at AKV Kidani & Jambo, which I figured was the most likely to come through. Got AKV Kidani within 24 hours. Now waitlisted for BWV and BCV but I don't have much hope, none of the nights are available.

New wait list for me! My son's school changed their Senior trip from mid March to week after Presidents week! Ugh found out the first week of school and had to do some quick changing, but actually was able to secure a standard at BWV for everything but Sat-Sun before I come home at the beginning of March. Hopefully it will come in!

Hi. I am new to this thread but I checked in online for SSR and two days later got our wait list through for same date for VWL so no it doesn't lessen your chances! I had given up hope! Imagine my shock and surprise when I got the email.

Thank you. I'm hoping we can still get our wait list.

I just scored a standard view studio at BWV for Friday night Oct. 18th. I didn't waitlist for this because I knew my chances were so small. I actually am booked in a standard studio for Oct. 19 for 2 weeks but was coming in earlier, so booked a mini vaca at Vero. I've stalked the online site a few times and to my shock today I put in Oct. 18th and there it was. Actually both Oct. 17th and 18th were available, but we only wanted the 18th as we arrived in Vero on Oct. 15th for 3 nights now. I'm still in shock, esp. since I booked my BWV standard studio reservation at 8:00AM at the 11 month window and most of those beginning days were gone within 15 minutes. I've since called MS and shorten my vero stay by one day and linked my extra one day at BWV with my original 2 week reservation. Though the CM did tell me to do the online check in again.....

I wonder what my chances are for AKV Kadani. I originally booked OKW resort for 12/7-12/14 but my kids really wanted me to book AKV. Last week I finally called and asked to be put on the wait list for Kadani. We are wait listed for a 2 bedroom standard view room. I sure hope we get it but I'm not holding my breath.

Can't believe our wait list came through for our 2nd room on Nov 10th at BWV I was just giving up hope when over the weekend it vanished from the front page and on Monday it showed up as confirmed Everything is set and we are ready to go. Now when do I start packing. HMMM, my kids say now.

Congrats! Have a lovely time at BWV. Great thing about this is I bet someone else is thrilled to get your now cancelled ressie!

I think your chances are good actually. I would hang on in there!

I just cancelled our waitlist. We are booked in a value studio at AKV for Nov 7-12 and we are running the 1/2 marathon. I got online at 8am at the 7-month window and waitlisted a standard studio at BWV. Our UY is February so our banking deadline is September 30...6 days before the 31-day deadline. I figured that our best chance of the WL filling would be around October 5-6. Unfortunately, I need to bank most of our points for 2014 for a trip in 2015. This means that I need to use our 2013 points for this trip and can't borrow any. I banked 30 of our remaining 45 points, leaving 15 in case the WL filled, but today, I finally cancelled the WL and banked the points.

It's all good because now, we will have 145 AKV points to book a value 2BR for next October. At 7 months, if my sister's family decides they can't come, I will be online promptly at the 7-month window to book a 1BR standard at BWV (110 points). If my sister's family can't come, I would prefer to do a split between AKV value 1BR and BWV standard 1BR because we want to take the kids on the Wanyama Safari now that they are old enough. Unfortunately, I am sure that there will be no value 1BR's available at 7 months. I could tough out 5 nights at BWV if we had to.

I just got an email that our waitlist came through!! I have been checking everyday with the exception of today! Low and behold there was an email with my confirmation number. We love BLT and our girls will be thrilled to see we are staying there when we surprise them with our visit!

 

[DebbieB]

Definitely keep checking online. I have waitlists for BWV and BCV for Nov 21 to 25. I did happen to see Nov 21 & 22 for a standard view studio at BLT open and a value studio night for AKV. I did see a couple nights for BWV but it was in the middle of my stay, gone now. So I think it's true that cancellations don't go immediately to the wait list.

 

[Charleneluvsdisney]

Yeah, my weekend at the beginning of March came in at bwv in a standard! So happy to save the points too!

We are staying at BWV for the first time - in a standard I bd in March. Can't wait for our first trip there!

I don't think I posted before, but I was able to get the entire first week of January at GFV in a standard view studio through wait listing 1 night at a time. My husband and I each have separate DVC memberships so that certainly helps. My last night came through yesterday. We had BLT in a standard view 1 bedroom booked, but DH is super excited to try GF. I'm not sure I'll like it better than BLT but he can pick for once.

Joining waitlist support here....my DH suddenly decided about two weeks ago that he wanted to go to WDW over Thanksgiving. Perseverance has paid off so far....managed to book three segments in an OKW studio covering 11/22 to 11/28 and a studio at AKV Jambo for 11/29. That only leaves us "homeless" on 11/28. I set up 2 waitlists-one for 11/28 for Jambo and one for 11/28-11/30 for OKW. I am very hopeful that something will come through

And a big shout-out for someone at MS today...they evidently looked at my account and took pity on me...all three of my OKW segments are now linked under one reservation number
