That is what I’m looking for Karen - how early did you look? (I couldn’t begin to look until 1st Dec) - did you ever get anything?

I’m not honestly sure but it wouldn’t have been more than 7-14 days before. We were checking in on 24/12 originally but ended up at the Poly for three nights instead - which had lots of availability. This was 2016/17 but we’d had the same experience in 2012/13 and 2014/15 too.

I wouldn’t mind the poly, though I expect these days that’s harder as well.

If it wasn’t for Aulani next summer and then this special family trip, I think I might be looking to sell my contracts now -
To know already that I’m almost certainly blocked from the rooms I want over 12 months out is really winding me up,and to see Gavvy’s posts above just confirms my frustrations. ☹️

It wouldn’t be so bad if I truly believed that Disney would care about these issues if they knew, but these days I don’t even have faith in that ☹️

I don't actually understand how Tomorrow is waitlist only when it's not actually available to book?

I was stressed in work today on a slow internet connection on an old browser. My phone has rubbish signal so cant use that.

I will keep on trying as am not worried about the actual date, I would perfer something arounfd the hallowwen season, however if I am still blocked out by October I think I will just have to stump up the points for BW view, which is a shame as a view is not at all important to me.

I kinda wish they would up the standard points a little and decrease the pool/garden view, seems silly these are the same points as BWV when that is more in demand and nicer.

It will be that everyone who is walking today has at least two nights. Perhaps some of them only want a weekend, so there are still gaps for D+2 on.

Be careful what you wish for with points reallocations. They’ll just dump the 2 bed points in to studios again to “fix” the number of people booking studios .

I’m not selling mine but I’ve rented out 80% of my points over the last three years - gave me a nice cash bump for my next holiday!

I had difficulty trying to get a week at AKV 2 bed value room for August next year.

In the end I had to book each day after someone else released it until I eventually got the whole week. It felt like I was walking the booking but in reverse

Sorry do you mean others have already waitlisted the day or you have set up a waitlist for your dates?

I left my wait list in place until I had been able to add in all the days I needed, once this happened I released the waitlist.

For mine a person or persons was releasing a day, a day or two after the latest date to book was released, so I got one day then waited and added on/modified my booking. Got 6 of the days I needed adding on one at a time and then the 7th day I needed didn’t get released for a couple of days, I just kept checking and then grabbed it.

I definitely would keep the waitlist and only release it if you are sure you don’t want it any more.
