I was inspired by the stalking vs waitlist thread to do this. I’m curious to know how often stalking or waitlist prevails.
For me, we decided last minute to add a beach vacation to the WDW trip we started planning almost a year ago. For this, we originally booked a beachside hotel at Daytona and hadn’t considered Vero Beach at all until I started rereading the forums again. And of course, being under 60 days out there was no availability. I waitlisted two days 10 days ago at the tail end of our trip and checked, stalked RAT and the ****** numerous times daily to see if anything opened up. As of this morning, no luck.
I called MS earlier this afternoon to add room requests to our BLT res (couldn’t do it online) and had procrasinated calling in until today. In the middle of adding the request the CM said “oh you’re in luck! You Vero WL matched! I’ll set that up for you right now!” I was over the moon! I haven’t told the kids or DH that it happened (DH was our blowing leaves and kids were at the in-laws). I’m so not telling them until we are about to leave for the beach!!
Anyway, WL came through for me. What are your experiences?
