Waitlist Support Group...who want's to join?

AND just like that...I'm down to ONE Waitlist. The studio room at BLT just came through! So now I'm wondering if I should waitlist another category of 2BR at BLT just to see if I can increase my chances of getting a room there as well for the rest of the party!

We've got a WL in for a 1BR at Beach Club, but we're booked at Boardwalk. Same points, but we figured it could be fun to be somewhere different! I'm hoping it goes through, but since our 6 day trip starts in 34 days I'm not holding my breath at the moment. We love Boardwalk and are saving some points since we switched from Boardwalk view to Garden view at 7 months

Are you sure you saved points going from Boardwalk view to Garden View? It's standard view that is fewer points than either of those.

I hope you get your BCV waitlist.

Maybe not, at this point I can't really remember - not a big deal anyway since we are fine using the points Now that you mention it I think it would have been standard that would have saved points. But it was nice that the waitlist was the same number so we didn't really have to worry about that aspect of it! Still hasn't come through and at this point I'm not really thinking it will, but it would be nice!

Question please...looking to buy DVC points to rent in 2017 (have I worded that correctly? I'm still trying to get my head around it all).

Will it be difficult/how difficult will it be to secure a standard studio in a BWV, BCV or BLT from 27/11 - 4/12? Thanks again!

(SIGH!) Finally convinced DH to go to DL in December rather than the World. Planned on using points at GC. Waitlisted for 12/4 to 12/10. What are the chances I'll get it????

 

[hayesdvc]

No worries about making 7 months resie for the remaining of my Dec stay, nothing available in Studio except OKW and SSR.

Hoping for wait list magic !

Dear WL Friends! In your experience, have you seen your WL come through close to your planned vacation inside of the 30
Day window or is it random? I have been dutifully checking for a certain date in July at BLT for months now and there has been no movement. It seems like nearly every other day in July has become available at some point except for the one I want! I am wondering if I still have a good chance or if I should start being more realistic that I will have a split stay.

My May 20-26 waitlist for 1 BDRM at Kidani came through under the 30 days. I think it was around 27-28 days out. I had been checking the DVC site a couple of times a day for over a month and only 3 of the days were available. Out of the blue I got a new reservation email for Kidani.

I have previously wait listed and they did not come through. So I have no good feelings about the DVC waitlist program.

I am waitlisted for 4 nights at GC 9/1-9/5 Studio. I was on there just after the 7 month non home window. I really hope they come through as all 3 DL properties are sold out! I have a backup at a good neighbor hotel but what are my chances for Grand Californian labor Day/DL Half Marathon weekend to come through?? slim i am betting!

Waitlisted for 1 night at OKW & SSR 6/9 Studio. I have all of the other nights I need booked on both sides of this night, but this odd little sucker is all booked up everywhere for a Studio. I'm getting really nervous that this isn't going to come through!

 

[vn2y]

Waitlist didn't work for me. I had two separate wait lists going for a BLT 1 BR Lake view - one for July 21 (one night) and another for July 24 (one night).

In both cases I actively checked for availability through the website. I was able to book both nights before the system matched the available inventory with my Waitlist. I am thrilled we won't have a split stay but disappointed that the system is not operating the way member services has been telling me. I thought any available inventory would go to the Waitlist first.

I agree. I don't generally have luck with waitlist. Last week BWV put a studio back into inventory and the entire month(s) were open. I was able to grab a few days I was waiting for, but I would've thought they would've use that inventory to fill waitlist first. I will continue to stalk.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Last night our 1 night WL for lake view BLT studio July 2 came through! Yeah!

 

[ktmo]

I have two nights wait listed for a studio at BLT in July. Right now, we are doing a split stay - 2 nights AKL and 3 nights BLT. I am hoping that it comes through. Although, I would love to check out Kidani. So, if it doesn't come through, I think we will be alright.

Was online right at 8:00am this morning to book a two bedroom villa at Kidani for 1/1/2017 -1/8/2017. Room showed available in the availability checker, but turns that New Year's Day was missing. Glad I was able to rebook my SSR reservation, but was surprised to see all AKV options unavailable at 7 months. We are wait listed. Bring on the pixie dust.

Just wanted to post, I was just on the DVC site and it looked like they had put a BCV studio room back into service. There were many days available. The one night I needed was already gone, and the days were going quickly. Not sure if anyone here is interested. I looked for Sep/Oct/Nov and there were many days still left. I'm still waiting for my one night at BCV Monday Oct. 24th and one night at BWV studios for Oct. 31. I have backup, but hate moving on the last night. Good luck to anyone catching this post in time.

Back in on this thread! Have a waitlist for a VGF studio 12/16-12/19. Currently at VWL, but hoping to switch over. Though, wouldn't at all be disappointed to be at VWL so it's really a win either way.

 

[Marine Mom]

Have a waitlist for one night in the middle of our trip at the Poly 8/8. Need some pixie dust right about now!!!!
