Got our WL (notified via e-mail at 8:30 tonight)...

You're welcome.

I cancelled my VWL trip from Oct27th - Nov 5th tonight around 6-7pm. I noticed a few of the days I let go did not become available to book. So I thought I'd come here to see if anyone got their days.

I cancelled because my waitlist at BLT came in early in the day.

Enjoy.

Thank you...thank you...thank you!!!!!! Now we don't have to switch rooms as we had a 1BR booked for the rest of the trip and a studio for that one night. Congrats on getting your WL too!!!!

Decided in May of this year to go to Disneyland in Aug...yep, about 90 days out. So, I was able to get a studio at VGC for Sunday (8/17) and Tuesday (8/19) right away I waitlisted Saturday (8/16) and Monday (8/18). The waitlist for the Saturday night came thru about 2-3 weeks ago Still waiting for the Monday (8/18) one

Don't know what to do.....think it will open up? If not, I could cancel the Tuesday (8/19) one and book a cash room at GCH, or just do cash one for the Monday night and back to the studio at VGC Tues night. Hate to move around that much, but trying to save $$.

Oh nice waitlist person, please grant my wish for just that one night!!!

I have SSR booked from 1/2 to 1/17, but I would like to switch to OKW, because of the double queen rather than the sofa bed. I'm going with a friend, both will run the Marathon, and it would be good to avoid to sleep on the sofa. I have the whole reservation secured, except the Friday of the Marathon week end (1/9). I waitlisted it exactly at 8:00am at 7 months, do you think I have a chance to get it?

I am on a WL for HHI Aug 15 studio. Just need the one night. Got on WL about 10 days ago. Really hoping it comes in!

You are only WL that one night? Yes I think it will come in. It is a super busy weekend (I will be there too ) but I think it's far enough out that it will come through.

Hi everyone

I am new to waitlisting. I booked a room at SSR since it is the only resort with availability. I had to borrow 19 points from my 2015 use year for the reservation. I waitlisted AKV, however, I will only need to borrow 7 points if that waitlist comes through. What happens to the remaining 12 2015 points from my SSR reservation.

Once you borrowed the 19 2015 points into 2014 they are forever a part of 2014. BUT you can still move 2014 points into 2015.

If you cancel a reservation with borrowed points the borrowed points will go back to your general points pool as borrowed points. You will need to use these points before they expire at the start of 2015 use year.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

So if you get your waitlist and you free up 12 borrowed points (they should give you back the 2014 points not the borrowed), Just call MS to have them use the borrowed points on the reservation and not 2014 points.

You can then bank the 2014 points into 2015.

Hope this helps.

EXAMPLE:
Book trip for 150 points:

100 2014 points
50 borrowed 2015 points

change reservation to 125 points:

75 2014 points
50 borrowed 2015 points
bank 25 2014 points

Can anyone help. I remember seeing a room availability chart which was on a particular web site. Does anyone know which one.

Thanks

Wow! I am in complete shock right now. We actually got our waitlist for the 1 bedroom value villa at AKV for 9/14. It was only for one night, but I really thought we were going to be out of luck since there aren't that many of them.

Now I just have to find the time to wait on hold to get our three reservations linked. When I called this morning, it was 25 minutes. Yuck.

 

[chirogrrl]

I'll join the support group! I am crossing my fingers for my waitlisted SSR studio on 10/9. We have 10/10-10/12 already booked (pre-Dream cruise) and an AKL 1BR (post-cruise) for 10/16-10/20. I just need one more night! *Fingers crossed*

I can't believe that everything is booked for that night. Crazy. I really hope I don't have to use our CSR back-up reservation!

I'm back in the waiting game. We originally booked BWV standard 1-bedroom oct 1-11 but since my brother and his friend don't arrive til oct 4 we decided we would rather save points and do a studio as many of the first 3 nights as we can. A standard view BLT became available for our first night so I called in and grabbed it (no extra points to book it on top of what we already have so did anybody pick up a standard 1-bed @ BVW oct 1?).

Anyway so now I have waitlists for standard BLT studio. 1 waitlist for just oct 2 and another for oct 2-4. Not holding my breath but it would be nice! If we just have the one night, we may do the deluxe dining and spoil ourselves at narcoossees

 

[chirogrrl]

Hooray! My one night waitlist for a studio at SSR came through! That was faster than I expected. Now we have a complete 3 nights before our cruise!!

 

[phtktz3]

I just put in for my first wait list since we bought in 2011.
I put in for BWV studio pool/garden view for Dec 5, 2014. I am already booked at OKW Dec 1-4 , SSR Dec 5, and BWV Dec 6th so I am hoping to just have to move once from OKW right to BWV.
This will be my first time staying at BWV too.

Well doesn't this stink. Oct 2-4 was available online in a BLT standard studio. My waitlist did not get matched. So I put it on a hold since I didn't have enough points to book it on top of what I already have booked. I got through to the agent, he dropped my Oct 2-4 BWV 1-bedroom standard, I released the hold, and poof! Thursday Oct 2 was gone! He got Friday Oct 3. So now we have Wed night BLT standard studio, Thurs night SSR studio, Fri night BLT standard studio. So I still have the waitlist for Thurs Oct 2 for the BLT studio, now set to replace the SSR if it comes through. I don't want to move this many times! At least now I have enough points that if it becomes available, I can book it myself online.

I'm so happy this thread is still going!!!

we are currently without a waitlist...

BUT I'M WISHING PIXIE DUST TO THE REST YOU STILL WAITING!!!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Wait-listing a standard view BWV studio for Friday December 12! I have the night in Kidani, so not terrible if I do not get it, but air fare was so much better for Friday rather than Saturday. My friends are coming in on Saturday to BWV, so it would be nice not to have to change resorts.

 

[thepops]

Anyone conflicted over their waitlist like I am? We're waiting for a 2 BR at AKV for Thanksgiving week, so we don't have to change locations, but on the other hand I'm REALLY happy we got VWL for that first night! We've never stayed there, and I'm excited about that, but really don't like having to change resorts. Hmm..maybe a second waitlist for the rest of the week at VWL! (although chances of that are even slimmer)
