WooHoo! F&W BWV waitlist came thru!

[wrighter]

Very excited to spend a kid-free weekend at F&W with DH in the fall. I never thought we'd get an Epcot resort studio at the 7 month mark, but after just a week of waiting it came thru.

It is possible! Halleluiah!

Now, I wonder when the F&W schedule comes out . . . .

Good for you! Great location to enjoy F&W from!

Congrats! That is very encouraging. We only need a Friday night. Maybe I should put in a wait list . . .

You should absolutely put in a waitlist. People move their reservations around all the time. I kept checking availability on the website as well, because I'd heard stories of people being able to "pick up" the nights they wanted there more quickly than by using the waitlist. But I really, really, REALLY wanted a studio at one of the Epcot resorts, so I doubled down and lucked out.

Good luck!

fantastic!
there is nothing like walking "home" after the F&WF

I made a very big mistake with my waitlist. I made the waitlist request first thing at the 7 month mark. Then I realized it wasn't for the dates we needed, so I cancelled it. I could have let it go through, then modified off the extra day. UGH! Now I lost my spot (and my advantage of waitlisting as soon as I could). I suspect we will be at AKV for F&WF.

Not sure what dates you're shooting for, but if you haven't already you should absolutely get back on that waitlist! You just never know! My very limited experience proved that a studio at BWV (garden/pool view) was the easiest Epcot resort studio to book. They were the last bookings to fill up and the first to open up on the waitlist.

Good luck!!

Oct. 5-11. I did make a new waitlist, after I finished kicking myself.

I was just about to put in a wait list for a BWV garden view studio this evening, when lo and behold, a boardwalk view studio was available for the Friday night that we needed! I had to back out and cancel a TPV BLT studio before I could go back in a nab it, but fortunately it was still there when I searched for it again.

We fly in on that Friday and it's going to be great to just walk through the IG for F&W that afternoon/evening!

I have October 6 - 12 booked for a Garden View Studio but I am waitlisted for Standard View Studio. Lets hope mine comes through and maybe you will get yours!

good luck, it's a tough week to snag. we've been shut out in the past when I didn't book @ 11 months.

Needed to use our @ WL points this year, happy to be staying there to check out the rehab, but had to check @ 7 months just for giggles, it wasn't available.

So happy for you!

My husband and I are using points for the weekend of 10/3-10/7. We own at AKV-Kidani... New owners in fact. We are taking our first trip in August with the kids.

Anyway, 10/3 and 10/4 we scored a Lake View Studio at BLT. We also managed to get a Garden View Studio at BWV for 10/6. So, we have one night, 10/5, at AKV because I booked at 11mths. I have two wait lists... One at BLT and one at BWV.

I know the waitlists for one night are more likely to come through, and I am checking the website daily... Would love to hear some more success stories! Even MS says that I have a great chance, but right now I am not overly thrilled with moving three times in a weekend. Thoughts?

Thanks!

I'm here now for F&G, and I'll be back in Sept/Oct for F&W!
Love BWV!

 

[bobbiwoz]

Glad you got your days! We'll be at BCV for F&W!

 

[robndani]

We are staying 9/28-10/3 at BCV and are wait listed 10/3-10/5. We made reservations off property for those last two nights just in case (my parents staying at the off property hotel). Since we wanted to book our plane tickets, we had to have somewhere to stay in case our wait list didn't come through! *fingers crossed

BWV is the absolute best for F & W! Enjoy!
