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

[EEGRAM]

Guess I'll join you all. Just bought into VGF and cannot even get into my home resort. Am traveling 1/4 to 1/10. Have a resie at AKC for now and wait listed for a std studio and lake view studio at VGF. Am very excited for my first trip as a DVC owner but hoping to stay at VGF. Seeing some of your successes is encouraging.

Oh, boy -- I'm back on the waitlist! My husband just asked to change our mid-Dec travel dates from Fri-Mon (as currently booked at VGC) to the prior Wed-Fri! I've got the new dates on WL ... sigh.

Since this is your first trip and since you just bought your contract direct, ask your guide if they could possibly create some pixie dust for you.

When you buy, it is not unknown for guides to make a first trip magical but pulling points out of developer's inventory to make a buyer happy ...

OMG!! Its like playing musical hotel switch. I am booked from 11/7-11/11 for last weekend of Food and Wine and beginning of Mickey's Christmas Party. At first I had all nights at AKL Jambo (studio). Then I had a waitlist for BCV and BLT. I was able to snag BLT for 11/9-11/11. I got BCV on 11/7-11/8. I'm still at Jambo for 11/8-11/9. I have BLT and BCV waitlisted for that night.

With me so far? Then I added 11/6 and was able to get AKV SV for that night. Well fast forward to today. I snagged a room at BWV Pool/garden. Went back on and saw a Boardwalk view. Prayed the whole time because I didn't want to lose it. Success. I know I know 4 different hotels but who cares. The first two are near EPCOT. The last two near MK. Just hope that waitlist comes through and I will only suffer 3 hotels.

WOW! i hope you plan on keeping notes of which resort/which nights.....i know i would wind up at the FD of a resort saying, "but i know i have a reservation" on the wrong day
sounds like an adventure!!

I know its hard to keep up. I would frown upon switching so much but Disney is so great at transferring luggage from hotel to hotel. BTW, each morning I switch hotels, is where I'm checking in at. So at least that reminds me where I'm staying.

And to think that I was worried about my first split stay. We are staying AKV 11/9-11/11 then moving to BLT 11/11-11/16. We might cross paths!

We just may.

 

[Harlemgirl720]

YAY!!! My waitlist just came through. So 1st night at BWV. Next 2 nights at BCV and the last two at BLT.

Not changing first night. A boardwalk view. nope

But I just did put in a waitlist for BWV in exchange for BCV. Slim chance but you never know.

 

[Harlemgirl720]

I was able to snag another night at BWV with a Boardwalk view. Just looked on line again and it was available.

So now its first 2 nights at BWV. 1 night at BCV. Last 2 nights at BLT. So I waitlisted BWV for the 3rd night. I want at least 2 nights at BLT for walking distance to MK on the weekend.

I know the CM thought I was crazy because I was talking so fast.

 

[Harlemgirl720]

My waitlist came through for another night at BWV Boardwalk view. So its 11/6-9 at Boardwalk then 11/9-11 at BLT. Maybe waitlisted last two for BWV? Hmmmm

Great news! Can't wait for our first stay at BWV in March. But also heading down 11/9 - AKV and BLT. Maybe we will cross paths at BLT!

Maybe. Waitlisted last two nights at BWV. Long shot but hey its worth a try.

I've joined the club. Just decided about a week ago that we're long overdue for a family WDW trip. Last one was Jan 1st - 8th, 2011. With college and high school breaks - the only time we could to it is 12/31 - Jan 5th. Have a 2 bedroom at SSR for the 3rd/4th but wait listed for the first 3 nights. Booked the first 3 nights at POR on $$ but really hoping at least the night of the 1st and 2nd come through so we can have 4 nights at Saratoga. Also on a wait list for the entire length at Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas - Jambo house. Probably 0% chance that one would come through.

Checking online every day (2-3 times a day) to see if any other days open up.

You never know. The first two days I was able to snatch online. The last day at BWV I waitlisted. And the two days at BLT came through on waitlist.

Never did get our 2nd waitlist for BCV for 2bd, but that is ok because we will be at VWL in a 2bd. We love that resort and how quiet it is, and my sis said she is actually looking forward to staying there. So I guess it all worked out in the end after all At least we get BCV for our first 3 nights

 

[wdwlover25]

After 7 months on the WL for BWV... Here we are at SSR. This is a beautiful resort. I was a little worried about the size and bus service. Bus service has actually been fine... just lots of stops within the resort. I'm actually glad to have an opportunity to stay somewhere completely different. Love DVC!

 

[mouselike-harrier]

I'm in too! I know it's a long shot, but I'm on the wait list for 1 bedroom concierge at Jambo house for May 19th. Managed to score the other 2 nights. First time in concierge.

GOT IT!!!

I am 4 for 4 on Waitlist SUCCESS for the Grand Cal in 2013!

 

[corpcomp]

Yea!! My waitlist came through for Jan 1 at BLT Lake View.

Now we have two nights there and three at BCV instead of having to go to 3 different resorts over 5 days.

Thank you to whoever cancelled / modified their New Year's reservations.

What a relief.
