Due to me having to cancel my trip due to splitting with partner i have had to rescehdule and iv got two waitlists.
Have 19/09-23 in AKLV jambo (waitilisting VwL one bed) and 23-27th BLT but had to book studio on 23rd standard view then move to one bed standard view.(waitlisting 23rd for a one bed). 27-04 Okw which is fine.As its my first trip as an owner what are the chances of it coming through and is it best to put the 7 or 31 day wait as I dont really understand that part

I did waitlist the whole of my dates for BLT but it never came through yet only by chance looked one day and 3 nights of the four were availible. Will they only give the whole stay as a waitlist. Sorry im new to all this
Quite happy with what I have booked though if it doesnt come through.

I would definitely suggest the 7 day wait list, since you know you're going to be there anyway. I think the 30 day option is for people who wouldn't be going without their waitlist coming through.

We are waitlisted for a 1 bed at OKW in Dec. for 1 day, got all the other days. We canceled a few days at VWL so hope someone waiting on the DIS landed those.

Waitlisted for BCV studio for 9/30. This is only my second waitlist and
the first one came through so we crossing our fingers again!

I've been wait listed for a BWV standard view studio for Sept. 30 for months. I got a boardwalk view but want the std view to link with my Oct. 1-5 reservation so I don't have to move. I'm starting think it's not going to happen. Pixie dust for both of us.

Just have to give everyone hope. I joined this thread at the beginning and just got the email today that my Thanksgiving waitlist for AKV came through. I check a few times a week and in fact checked Friday and it was still all booked. What a happy surprise!I will miss OKW, but so happy for my kids as they have never stayed at AKV. Hopefully someone's OKW WL came through. Good luck everyone!

We have had a 1 bd. at AKV Kidani & Jambo WL'd for almost a month now. We'll be going Thanksgiving week and I am hopeful that we'll get at least one of the AKV 1 bd.s since right now we just have a studio at OKW. We did the same thing last year for Thanksgiving week and I've been trying to rack my brain to remember when our AKV WL finally came through. I check availability at least a few times a week so fingers and toes will stay crossed.

Are people having luck with WLs coming through if you booked on the DVC site or is there even a difference between WLs that were made online or on the phone with MS?

I booked and waitlisted online, and mine came through!

Can I ask what your dates are?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Sure. I got a 2-bedroom at BCV for october 25-28. I gave up a 2 bedroom pool view at BWV. I also have a 2 bedroom - 2 queens at BC for October 20, ( we'll be gone on a cruise for the 4 days between the two), but I'm on waitlist for 2 bedroom savannah view at jambo.

I had BLT studio (standard view) on waitlist for 10/23, just went online and found a lake view available so I took it! We are so excited to try it out. I let go of a studio for 10/23 at VWL so hopefully that can help someone.

Our waitlist at BLT just came through. We already had a 2 bedroom SV but decided to get a studio for my parents as well at the last minute. Got it this morning for august 15-18! Then moving to GV at jambo for 7 nights !

Just found out my waitlist for BCV for a whole week in December came through! I was very surprised, as I figured if it came through it would be closer to November. So, someone out there was probably pretty happy to receive our prior BWV week in December. Hoping others get the same pixie dust we did.

 

[LUVMICKEY]

Our waitlist is at BLT for the beginning od December. I did jusy get one of the days so I had to change my waitlist. I go the the member website everyday, sometimes two or three times a day. I am so hoping I get what we want.

 

[supersuperwendy]

Congrats everyone who's pixie dust came through!! I'm still impatiently waiting!

Now that's a good one!

I am little late to the game, but just wanted to share our waitlist story – 2 nights at VCG at the end of July, studio - it will be just me and my girlfriend.

With peak summer season, the new DCA/Carsland, and only 50 or so DVC rooms at VGC, we almost didn’t bother waitlisting (we are both DVC members). We put in 2 single night waitlists to increase the chance we’d get at least one night on points. Well, they both came through last week. We would have paid rack rate for a standard room at GC and 2 nights would have been over $1150. It is times like this I LOVE being a DVC member!!

Me too! And getting madder and madder at myself. The room I wanted was available just a few days before the 7 month window opened up, but cheapskate me wouldn't borrow points at that resort from next year. So for the sake of a few lousy days (4, I think it was) I've been on a waitlist for over 3 months.

Uggh.... that is so frustrating! Hoping for pixie dust to come your way!

I am back in the waitlist too. Now that I have my parents straight I really want to upgrade my blt standard view to either lake or theme park. I know it probably won't happen though with only 35 days to go.

 

[triciari]

Yahoo! My waitlist for 2 bedroom savannah view for one night before our cruise just came through!!

Someone else is going to be really happy, because I gave up a 2 bedroom with 2 queens at BCV!

 

[winniedapooh]

Still waiting...but I have a question for you all...I began looking right as soon as my 7 month window opened up--12/28-1/4. Since the day I began looking 12/30-1/1 has been unavailable at ALL resorts for a 2 bedroom. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this? I check several times a day and it just seems odd to me. I have never before had trouble booking these dates at the 7 month window. Just keep waiting for pixie dust!
