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

So I got great news & somewhat bad news on my waitlist today. I am booked Nov 22-28 in a Lake View Studio at VGF. I also wanted the night of the 28th which was unavailable so I booked it at BCV and I waitlisted the 28th in a Lake view studio and a standard view studio @ VGF, in hopes one would come through so we would not have to transfer hotels. It appears that the standard view studio came through today and this cancelled my Beach Club reservation as intended (GREAT!), but for some reason when that waitlist was fulfilled, my lake view studio waitlist was cancelled (BAD!!). I should have Nov 22-28 in a Lake View Studio, Nov 28-29 in a standard view Studio and a waitlist for Nov 28-29 in a lake view studio. But my waitlist is gone. I tried to call MS but they were already closed. I sent them an email but I will still call them in the morning. I really hope they give me back my original waitlist position! I am still counting myself lucky that I somehow managed to piece together a week at VGF at less than 7 months during a holiday week!

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!

Congrats Bobbi

Yikes, I hope you get this straightened out.

Yikes, I hope you get this straightened out.

Me too! I just went in & created another waitlist just in case. Of course, there is no guarantee the lake view would ever have come through, but I certainly do not want to be on the bottom of the pile, when I should be near the top...

I just got off the phone with MS, apparently what happened is how it is supposed to work. I also went through and tried to make another waitlist and noticed the note below in the T&Cs.

If your waitlist request is confirmed, all other waitlist requests for comparable dates will be cancelled.

That would really suck for someone who needs two rooms and had two waitlists! I guess I am back to to the bottom of the pile. That being said, I am still super happy about getting a whole week at VGF, even if I do have to change rooms for the last night! And who knows, maybe I will get lucky and the new waitlist will come through!

Someone must have dumped some serious Pixie Dust over at MS today. I just got a response to the email I sent last night: We appreciate your interest in your upcoming stay and will be happy to assist you further. Our records show that your waitlist for a Deluxe Studio Lake View has been matched for the night of November 28. We have canceled your Standard View and added the additional night to the existing reservation. Your Travel Plan Confirmation Number is XXXXXXXXX. Sure enough, I went onto the DVC site and I checked my reservations and, there it was - I have a Lake View Studio booked from Nov 22-29!! I am so excited!!!

On waitlist for Aulani 12/23-12/25. Have already paid for rooms for those dates and our DVC ressie kicks in on 12/26. Hope it comes through so we get some money back!

The WL I thought would come through (10/12/14) for just 1 night ---2Br STD View at BWV (which I put in before the 7month window) did not come through. However, 7-9 October in a BWV std view studio did come through and I didn't think there was any chance on that one, so you never know.

My next impossible WL is for VGC. We have an opportunity to go to CA in Nov, but didn't find out about it until we were within the 7 month window. I don't often have too much luck there, so I'm going to need a lot of pixie dust.

 

[SNYDERS]

I will join the waitlist..... Lol. Canadian disney mom I feel your pain... We have a 3 day reservation at bwv in October and I waitlisted the last three days of our trip and did it on a daily basis. ( we have 2 contracts so I can do 4 waitlists ). Well one of my waitlists came through... YEAH!! Except it's on the lady day of the trip. BAD.. So as it stands now mon- Thursday bwv. Thurs- sat okw and then sat checking out sun is back at bwv.... Praying I get the Thursday and Friday waitlist...not telling my husband yet yikes...

 

[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.

I decided to be in control of my own fate rather than rely on the waitlist to match. I saw a 1 bedroom pop up on-line today so I grabbed it. Now we'll be in a studio for 5 nights and 1 bedroom for 2 nights at Aulani.

Has anyone tried, and is it possible, to exchange a reservation with someone who wants your resort reservation? Does that make sense? For example, I've booked a 2br standard at AKV 12/12-12/19, but want to be a BWV. If someone who is booked at BWV those same dates in same room type, but wants to be at AKV, would it be possible to do a swith-a-roo with our names and such? I know, far-fetched wish. BUT, you never know!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Needs change!

I no longer need December 12th my DCuz and I are going on a cruise before our stay beginning December 13th.

So, I now am looking for Dec. 28-30 in BCV studio. I have a BLT studio for those nights, but have BCV from 30 to January 2nd. This split stay made perfect sense when I booked 11 months out, we own at both, but now, I want to stay in one hotel!

Pixie dust rained down today and or October trip came through for bwv..... Not sure how but extremely grateful and excited....

So we are new DVC owners and have a trip planned to AKV Kidani during the first week in December! We cant wait! We are there for a week and my our inlaws are joining us for 5 days. I tried booking BLT MK view one bedroom for the last two nights of our trip. I however did not book this right at the 7 month window I did it maybe a week later. My chances are slim to none I am guessing?

 

[DVCJones]

Hoping for some pixie dust for our April waitlist. We have a reservation at BLT but hoping our waitlist for VGF comes through.

First week of December is about the hardest DVC week to get for availability . Cheapest DVC season, combined with low crowds, nice temps and Christmas Decs are up make it a busy busy time DVC wise.
I am desperately trying to upgrade our stay from a BWV studio (Boardwalk view no less) to a 1 bdrm on property at ANY RESORT for the first weekend in December (5,6,7) and there has no availability for a long time. Have a waitlist, but not keeping my hopes up . Almost got something, but I was too slow .
Still have VWL, and BLT after our BWV stay , so its just a temp setback that we can live with if nothing opens up in a 1 bdrm . Just holding out hope for a 1 bdrm ANYWHERE !!! lol .

Wait list came through yesterday!!! Woo hoo!!! We booked a big family trip 2/14-2/21 and were missing 2/19-2/21 in one OKW studio room but yay!! Now my whole family has a place to sleep! Lol

 

[dvc at last !]

Yeah for you - We need some pixie dust also !

Mid May we decided to go to F&W for 3 nights this year (we went last year and then added on points at BWV just for F&W and had 2013 points we needed to use but DH didn't want to do F&W this year so I booked a girls only trip for this past Aug...then in May, DH says 'let's go to F&W' in Nov...5.5 months out...BWV and BCV all booked up). I booked us in a studio at SSR but then, a few days later, saw a 1BR at VWL for the last 2 of the 3 nights pop up so I grabbed that and WL the 1st night at VWL as well. WL came through about a month later and I linked the 2 resies (used 2 memberships to book). Then we discovered the pool closure at VWL and wished we could switch over to BWV or BCV but I didn't want to WL because of the linking (and having used 2 memberships). So, I watched via the new resort availability checker on the member site. One day, the 1st night was available at BWV and I tried to book it online but could not because of the linking. So, I called MS and had a 30 minute wait to get someone and by then the BWV night was gone. Last week, I saw the last 2 nights at BCV available so I called MS and got someone right away, no wait. They unlinked the resie and switched my last 2 nights from VWL to BCV (thank you whoever cancelled a 1BR at BCV for Nov 4 and 5). I then WL the 1st night at BCV. Today is 7 days out and my WL expires. Looks like we will be at VWL the 1st night and then move to BCV for the last 2 nights. I will still keep an eye out for BCV or BWV in a 1BR or studio for that 1st night...what are the chances it will open up over then next 6 days?

I had a wait list for January 8th in a Standard view studio at AKL Jambo that just came in which I am happy about, but I had 2 wait lists going and they cancelled both of them!

The second was for Saratoga - January 8th - 11th. I am not sure why they would cancel this one? I currently have a reservation prior to the 8th at Saratoga, but was unable to secure the entire time. I was able to snag a couple of nights at AKV, but not the 8th, so that is why I wait listed the 8th only at AKV and the 8-11 at Saratoga.

I would prefer not to move from Saratoga and have now started a wait list again for those 3 days, but now I'm at the bottom of the list again, for Marathon weekend! Hopefully it will come through, but still don't understand why they cancelled it.
