What are my chances?

[tvwalsh]

I am on the wait list for a studio at VWL for June 17-22. the CM said that only three of the five days are available. Should I reserve the three days that are available and waitlist the other two or waitlist the entire week? What do you think my chances of getting this week are?

I would only take what was being offered if it were a 2-3, or 3-2 situation. I think the waitlist will come through, there's still enough time, but, in the worst case, I'm not willing to move more than once in 5 nights. We're going the week before you, BCV and BWV a split stay by choice...don't think we need the DDP for all 5 days. Maybe you can make what's being offered "work" for you!

Go ahead & book & wait list for the other nights. This is what happened to us recently.
Due to my stupidity (too long to relate) we were booked @ 4 resorts for 4 nights on our trip over NYE a few weeks ago, the last 3 nights @ DVC resorts. All 2 BRs. OKW then move to Boardwalk, then to BCVs. We were on the waitlist from the DAY of 7 months out for BW & BCVs & nothing ever came through.
When we arrived @ OKW & checked in I mentioned this to the CM & asked if they could notify us if somthing changed & we could remain @ OKW (home resort). She said ok. We went swimming & about 21/2 hrs later they called & told us they had the next night avail. YAY, now only 1 more switch!
The next a.m. I went down to re-check in, asked about the last night & low&behold they had that availble, too!! We were thrilled & we didn't even have to change rooms!!
So book it, you never know what'll happen once you get there if your waitlist doesn't come through in the meantime!
