When you guys are stalking rooms (currently trying to grab BLT theme park views for early nov) how often are you checking the site? Just trying to gauge if I'm over or under doing it!!
Very badly! So checking pretty much all day long, whenever i have a spare 5 minutes, isnt overkill?!Well, availability can change in a minute and the waitlist could take it before you can see it. How bad do you want BLT?

Yes, I do have 2 nights waitlisted, but I'm too anxious to sit back and let it ride!Have you waitlisted it or do you have your waitlists tied up with something else?
This is how I got what I needed....stalking EVERY day and multiple times. It took a while, but I got it. I actually couldn’t believe it.Very badly! So checking pretty much all day long, whenever i have a spare 5 minutes, isnt overkill?!
You've given me hope!!!This is how I got what I needed....stalking EVERY day and multiple times. It took a while, but I got it. I actually couldn’t believe it.
Thank you! It's encouraging to hear success stories! The hard part is checking all the time and seeing all those X's!! Our last trip was over new years and it ended up being a disaster of pieced together stays, we had to move 3 times! I'm trying so hard not to repeat that!!I have successfully stalked two reservations in the past year. Availability changes constantly, and it is kind of fun to see just how often it changes. I was checking at least four or five times a day--whenever I had a few minutes.
The first one was a three night stay in a standard studio at BLT for Wine and Dine race weekend last year. I can't remember the exact details, but I probably cancelled and booked reservations a half dozen times. I was eventually able to grab one night in a standard, and two nights in a theme park. I then waitlisted the nights I needed to get all three nights in the same room, and eventually all three nights in a standard studio at BLT.
The second time, I was able to piece together a four night stay at CC less than three months out. I originally was just going to do three nights, and actually got that on a waitlist. I decided to add a fourth night, and put in a waitlist less than 60 days out. I continued to check though, and actually snagged the room I neeeded by stalking before the waitlist could pick it up.
So, keep checking. And good luck.
You will come back if you get it?When you guys are stalking rooms (currently trying to grab BLT theme park views for early nov) how often are you checking the site? Just trying to gauge if I'm over or under doing it!!

yes, i will let you all know for sure!!You will come back if you get it?
Glad you got something!I have been stalking availability for our June trip checking 2/3 times a day and was able to get a 1 bedroom at AKV K this morning. My dh saw it at 8 and I was unable to change my SSR studio to free up points and had to wait till 9 when ms opened. Stalking works especially when you decided go after saying you were taking the year off and booked in Marc has for June, not a whole lot of available..
It really doesn’t.Glad you got something!
We have barely taken 6 months off, so taking a year off does not work for us! (maybe not for you, either!)
