| Any chance? (Another waitlist question) Anyone ever have a waitlist come through between the 31 and 7 day mark? I just extended our waitlist request to keep us on the waitlist for BCV (for three nights end of August). We were orginally booked at Saratoga Springs, then waitlist came through for OKW, and now we wait to see if our luck strikes again. I'm not optimistic, as I know how popular BCV is -- and we did book at the last minute (less than 3 months in advance), but I'm just wondering if there is any hope! Of course, I won't be heartbroken if we stay at OKW! It looks beautiful and I plan to try all the DVC villas at some point. Bottom line... we'll be at Disney and I can't wait!!!

| BC was very busy when we stayed there in Aug 2005. So, I don't know if your luck will hold. However, you will love OKW! It is so far our favorite resort. So, beautiful and luch and tropical.

| I've been on a waitlist twice (after booking only a month out for a weekend trip) and have gotten the one night I needed on both occasions at Saratoga Springs!

| I'm waiting on a waitlist as well for BCV in Aug. We have SSR, BCV for 5 days and then back to SSR. I'm hoping it comes through but I'm not holding my breath.

| OKW is great..big rooms! I like the food situation better at SSR though. I have to say I know everyone loves BCV but we were unimpressed with that & BWV. We're not big TS meal eaters...we don't like to be tied down to too many ressies and I like the food court at SSR, even BCV is better than OKW or BWV if you're not sitting down to a lot of TS meals. Not a lot of variety for counter service. As for BCV, obviously location to Epcot is awesome but I don't think it's worth the points for us. My kids weren't even that impressed with the pool. I was SHOCKED about that one for sure! So we pretty much try to stay at OKW for the size and we can drive over to POFQ, POR or SSR to eat if we want or we stay at SSR if we can't get into OKW. BTW, our waitlists have always come thru. We are waitlisted now for 3 nights in a 1BR at OKWfor end of Sept. I like that the rooms are bigger and it's less points.
