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

[elgerber]

I am also in the "I'm shocked" group! I was waitlisted for a BWV Boardwalk view studio for Friday October 3rd. I did not join the waitlist until maybe the 6 month mark? Whenever SWA released their schedule for that time frame. I never in a million years thought I'd get it, I was content to spend my first night elsewhere, then move on Saturday, but apparently I do not have to! For some reason, I just checked the member site and found my waitlist confirmed.

 

[dvc at last !]

We have 2 wait lists to add on to October reservation -

pixie dust to all !

One of my waitlists came thru. Now just waiting for the others.

My home resort is BWV but we wanted to stay at AKL this year. We are going the week after Christmas for 6 nights in a 2 BR. Booked at 7 month window. Originally (because of number of points to do this) I wanted to do the first three nights in a standard and last three in a savanna view (last 2 nights would be in adventure season). Well everything was booked. Was able to find first 2 nights in a savanna so I turned it around and booked first 2 nights in Kidani Savanna and the last 4 at SSR. I waitlisted 3rd night for savanna and 3 nights standard so we do not have to change resorts. Well the savanna night came thru. still waiting on 3 nights in standard 12/31-1/3. I must pray to the Disney Gods

Wait listed for one night September 25 a Thursday. Wait listing okw. So we don't have to move. Akl as back up! I hoping and praying either one comes threw. I don't want to pack up for one day at Saratoga

We are currently on the waitlist for a 3 bedroom villa at OKW for ONE NIGHT (10/4). I have Saratoga booked for Sat in a 2 bedroom just in case, but would hate to have to move for ONE night, move all of our food and luggage, then move back!!! Making me nervous since it's food and wine festival month as well. I have been stalking daily, even a few times a day hoping it comes through! Anyone have any experience with this for similar time of year for a 3 bedroom? Anyone know if when we get there they will do one last check before we check in?? 27 days to go!

We are wait listed for Wilderness Lodge for Nov 5-10th. Somewhat hoping that the pool construction will put other out and we can snag a studio!

Good luck XMom. I was surprised actually the 3 bedroom was all booked but maybe cause there arent as many. Keeping everything crossed. I ended up having to wait list single days to get more of a confirmation versus full blocks. I heard it works best that way if you want to try booking the days that are available and wait listing the ones that aren't as single days. Make sense?

We must be crazy, but we are trying to get out of a BWV boardwalk view studio for 4 nights December 5-9 . After our last trip, we have figured out studios are just too small for us (unless its VWL or VGF) . We have waitlists setup for BWV 1 bdrms in any catagory. We are also watching for ANY OTHER 1 bdrm (except SSR .......no comment,lol ) to become available, so we can make the switch. Had an OKW 1 bedroom pop up yesterday, but wasnt quick enough to grab it ..........someone grabbed 1 night in the middle ........grrr...... .
I hope we can make a switch as I am sure it would REALLY make someones trip to get our BWV boardwalk view studio. (it was booked at the 11 month mark) .
I am not too hopeful it will happen though ..........early December is really high demand for DVC !

I have not had recent luck with waitlists. My plans have changed so much recently, I have points in holding! Never happened before in 11 years of ownership!

Have 1 day waitlisted now...for a 1 bedroom BCV, October 10. Would love a washing machine after DCL cruise!

Let me know if yours comes off. I know OCT is scary cause of the Food and Wine festival. Pixie dust to us both!!!

I just waitlisted 2 nights (Dec 12 and 13) at both VWL and BLT. There is ZERO availability for that weekend, so I don't have much hope. Maybe I should waitlist a larger property that would give us a greater chance....

 

[raenyny]

Booking a big family/friends trip for my daughters sweet 16 short 2 nights in a studio OKW for my parents and had to wait list it for Presidents week ugh waiting and stalking about a month so farI

 

[twinsouvenirs]

[raenyny]

[ACDSNY]

Can those of us waiting for the other side of the World join in? We have a Friday night for a studio in February on the waitlist for Aulani.

We us luck as I'd rather not have to move to another place for our last night.

We are12 days away and my wait list is still active. I want one night at okw. Orbwaitliated the entire stay at AKL. So far nothing. Their is no availably for anything. I find is hard to believe their are no studios no 1 bedrooms and no 2 bedrooms in September at any of the DVC resorts. This is slow season right?

 

[SNYDERS]

Every year it seems to get harder and harder to book things... I have 3 nights at bwv in October and a 3 nights at okw... Still hoping the last three nights at bwv come through... But I know it's a long shot.. Happy to be going regardless..

We got it!

1 bedroom for 1 night after our DCL October cruise at BCV. We had a studio at BCV. Can do laundry conveniently before heading home!

We are waitlisted for 2 bdrm Savanna view for 11/7&8, or a 2 bdrm lake view for BLT for 11/8. I have SSR booked those dates for a backup. I have been stalking the availability thread!
