Waitlisting and checking

[twinsouvenirs]

For those of you who employ the 'waitlist but check regularly for the missing days' strategy, how do you handle that? Do you typically check at the same time every day, or every other day? Do you check in the afternoons or evenings? I've snagged basically a split stay and I'm still looking for two nights to complete the reservation to un-split it for a family trip and I'm wondering how to best plan regular checks without wasting an inordinate amount of time. Oh how I miss that ****** site!

I don't check at the same time every day. I just log onto the site when I think about it while checking email or FB.
I seem to fill my waitlists better than Disney.

Same here, except for the FB note.

I check mine in the morning. .. and my beach club wait list came through. .. that means someone will get my boardwalk reservation. .. good luck! I am so happy mine came through I thought I would never get it

I've checked it in the evening or early morning... Working at a hotel for a couple of years, I can tell you that most people who cancel will do so either late in the afternoon or first thing in the morning in order to not get penalized.

I randomly checked whenever I had a free minute. I ended up getting 4 of 5 days that I needed that way, and the 5th day came through via the waitlist.
