My stalking v waitlist ended up being ... a tie, with waitlist winning in OT:
Note - we are 9 mo out at BLT, I was looking for the last night in a LV studio, which also happened to be the night before the princess half:
Did my usual AM stalk as I got into the office. Nothing had changed much in the last 2 weeks, so I was on the RAT to see what studios/1BR were available, and lo and behold, the whole week I wanted in the LV studio (I had already booked the 1st 6 nights) was available! So I go to try to book it on my desktop, while canceling my original reservation on my phone. I notice I am a bit miffed that both of my waitlists (including that Friday night) are still showing. Why are they letting someone book the whole week?
I go through the whole **** process of canceling on my phone and booking on my computer and only at the final confirmation, it tells me that Friday night is NOT avaialable! So now I'm pissed but I better re-book the 6 nights in case I lose that. And at the same time I call MS and sit on hold as I'm completing my booking.
I go back to my dashboard and my waitlists and now I've got a new reservation w same dates as the old reservation, but my Friday night waitlist is gone. Dammit! So now I'm on the phone and want to make sure I didn't lose my place in line for that night.
When the CM looks me up, she goes, "oh! your waitlist came through!" So she added that night to my reservation.
So - it looks like stalking found the space, but the waitlist took it as I was trying to book it myself. I guess it's good to know that the waitlist worked, this time. But I wonder now how long it was open. The CM said I got the only opening on that Friday night and it's back to showing no studios or std 1BR available for 2/23.
