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

[marsh0013]

add me to the list! when jetblue came out with that lovely sale last week, i couldn't pass up $145 round trip tickets. already planning on going next april and oct, need annual passes for those anyway, so this is an extremely cheap trip! going oct 29-nov 3. was able to get bwv pool/garden for the first 3 nights. now i see that the first 2 are available in boardwalk view, but i'm already moving once for the last 2 nights. i'll request village green, otherwise, i don't care, i'm suprised i got any nights at bwv period!

anyway, the last 2 nights are tricky. currently have a standard view studio at kidani on nov 1 and a value studio at jambo on nov 2. originally had nov 2 at kidani savannah, but grabbed the value when it became available instead. i have a waitlist for both nights at bwv pool/garden, and also for nov 1 in a value. i know it's more likely that the standard view at kidani would come through for nov 2, but i'm crossing my fingers. i'm checking the website every five minutes when i can at work. would rather not have to move twice on a 5 night trip, so we'll see!

keep checking the website! i was just able to get nov 1 at bwv pool/garden, so now i'm guaranteed a max of 1 move! glad i grabbed the value at akv now, as that will be my last night currently. changed my wait list, so now i have the last night of nov 2 wait listed for both pool/garden and boardwalk view. and if neither one comes through, i will enjoy my akv value! quite exciting

OMG, my waitlist at BCV came thru this morning! Yesterday was 31 days out, and I'd basically given up (although it was still active) so I confessed to DH about the waitlist. This was to be a belated anniversary gift for him-a 1 BR for the 3 nights he's there-instead of the studio we always have. Then, this morning thet called to tell me the waitlist came thru, and they needed to verify everything. It's a little confusing-I have a studio 10/22 and 23. The next 3 nights-10/24-10/27-we now have a 1 BR, then the night of 10/27, I'm back to a studio. I know, it's lots of moving for me, but DH and our anniversary's worth it. Since I told him yesterday it didn't come thru (and he doesn't even know about the 31/7 day stuff-he's so DVC-challenged) boy, will he be surprised when he opens the door! And I just realized, I probably made someone else's waitlist dreams come thru with a BCV studio for 10/24-10/27.

PIXIE DUST!!!!!! I popped on the DVC site to check my waitlists and a BWV 1 bdrm for 11/3-5 was available. I snatched it up! I am a little concerned because that was what I was waitlisted for. OH well, maybe the inventory opened before DVC could assign it. Either way I am super relieved. If you are looking for time the end of October I recommend checking the website! I just saw tons of rooms open up. Good luck!!

My Nov. 30 BLT Lakeview 2 bdrm just cleared. I'd really started to give up hope but I got my dose of pixie dust today.

Hoping for our wait list comes through 1/10/2013 to 1/13/2013 keeping our fingers crossed ....

Hooray!!

I was just reading that it appears that stuff becomes available before they review the waitlists so you probably snatched up what you wanted before it could be run against the waitlist.

Based on the thread that was started about stalking online for availability, I'm going to start checking as much as I can in hopes of getting what we need for our trip.

stopping in to toss around some PD for everyone still waiting!

Add me to the list! We just closed on our first contract last week and, as such, missed the beginning of the 7 month window to book HHI for Spring Break.

Now we're on the waitlist for 2 nights at HHI during the first week in April.
I setup 2 waitlists, one for 4/1-4/3 and the other for 4/3-4/5. Not sure on the strategy there as I'm new to this. I just figured I'd have a better chance of scoring one if I put them both out there. Obviously, travel dates are flexible.

I have been on a wait list since the 7 month mark for blt lake view and vwl studios for dec 1-8. Currently booked at okw hospitality house studio. I don't hold much hope but a girl can dream!

Mine just came through for the last 2 days of out trip on 11/2 -11/4 . So now there is a 2 bedroom at SSR available for someone.

keep checking the website! i was just able to get nov 1 at bwv pool/garden, so now i'm guaranteed a max of 1 move! glad i grabbed the value at akv now, as that will be my last night currently. changed my wait list, so now i have the last night of nov 2 wait listed for both pool/garden and boardwalk view. and if neither one comes through, i will enjoy my akv value! quite exciting

score! just got the email that my waitlist for my last night came through for pool/garden studio for my last night. so now i have all 5 nights and i don't have to move! as much as i would have loved a night at akv, i'm thrilled to not have to move!

weird though, a couple nights when i was on the phone with member services (had to redistribute to use banked points as i had made moves online), the woman i spoke with told me should could not link my first 3 nights with my 4th night because i had booked the 4th night separately online. she did say that if my waitlist came through they could link the 4th and 5th night though. i thought that was odd. i even tried to argue with her, but she wouldn't hear of it. but if it's true, i may take advantage and book the deluxe dining plan for the first 3 nights. eat at a few signatures and use my snacks at food and wine. different discussion for a different thread...carry on with waitlists coming through! good luck everyone!

Well they do come through....I got okw studio within less than 2weeks
I'm very surprised because of the marathon during this weekend

 

[ercrbc]

I set up a waitlist yesterday for a Treehouse in Jan! I know there was availability a month or so ago, so I am *hoping* it will come through. My brother and his wife are now going to join us and the 3 BRs will be perfect for our group. Fingers are crossed! Good luck to everyone waiting!

I had a *feeling* while doing some online shopping tonight and I was able to book 11/9 at OKW! Now we just need 11/10 & 11/11!!!

Still waiting for 4 days in a studio at BWV in Dec. I check the website regularly. What are our chances of getting all four days? We've never stayed at BWV in all the years we've been to WDW. Really hope we get it. It would be a great birthday present. It's also our first trip during the holiday season. We are SO excited!

you never know...i got 5 nights in a row at BWV studio pool/garden at the end of Oct/beginning of Nov on pretty short notice. combination of stalking the website and waitlist. i'd say pool/garden is your best shot. although, i did see my first 2 nights available in a standard at 1 point, and also my last night in a boardwalk view. but i'm thrilled that all nights came through in the same view, so no moving. good luck to you! i did notice some movement as the 31 day mark was approaching, so don't lose hope! keep checking the website as that date nears, you might get lucky.

 

[belias21]

I've seen a few PP's say that they check the website regularly on their waitlists. This is my first rodeo so I was just assuming you would get an email if/when yours happen to become available. Is that not the case?

 

[Disjunky]

You wont. At least not from what i heard.
