which BLT view/room to witlist

[emmamc252]

does anyone know which room/views have the best chance of success on a waitlistat BLT?
I know its a long shot anyway as we are only 30 days out now, we aren't having any luck with our current waitlists which we set up about 4 weeks ago so just trying to decide if we are best to swap.
we don't mind which view we have so are our chances any better if we pick standard, lake or MK views?
also are we better watlisting 1bed or studios?

any advice much appreciated.

The largest category (70% of the resort I believe) is lakeview so your best chance is to waitlist a lakeview 1 bedroom and a lakeview studio.

Lake View makes up approx. 70% of the available rooms. All of the studios and 1-bedrooms at BLT are part of 2-bedroom lock-offs. There are 133 of those, so there can be a max of 133 studios and 133 1-bedrooms if none of the 2-bedroom lock-offs are reserved.

standard view is 10%
mk is 19%
lake is the rest.

so lake view is the largest and the easiest to get at BLT

1) Lake view
2) Magic Kingdom view
3) Standard view

Though, for our October trip, I wait listed both a 1BR Lake view and a 1 BR satandard view and we got the standard view.

Do you have a backup reservation somewhere else. If you are planning a fairly long trip maybe you should wait list for just some of the days and do a split stay. Have you tried to get any of the days there yet. If you could get some together at one end you could take those and waitlist for the others while keeping the remaining dates at the original resort if it does not come through for the rest of your days. The fewer days you are waitlisting for the better your chances. Good luck
