    Lightbulb What are the chances?

    We are waitlisted for the BoardWalk Resort at the end of November. What are the chances we will be able to get our 5 night stay?

    You have a better chance at getting maybe a split stay... but thats still going to be rather tough. The last two weeks of the month, F&W is just ending and the Thanksgiving crowd is starting to come in.

    Do you have a room somewhere else already or are you just shooting for the BW as your first and only choice?

    Yes, we have a room at Old Key West. Over the years we have had a hard time getting into the BW any time of year. Just hoping that something might break our way.
    Thanks for your input.

    You have a room and thats the best situation.
    If you go over to the members site, you can look at different availability. It may give you a hint as to what your chances might be. The key is to be flexible... consider split stays... and when in doubt, give Member Services a call to confirm.

    That's funny you would say that. I spoke with member services yesterday and we are open to a split stay. We don't really mind Old Key West because it seems we get more room for our buck but we just have this thing about walking in through the back door of Epcot. I guess we are getting particular in our old age.

    Keep checking back. We scored a same-day Tree House! on our first trip to Walt Disney World with our kids, after I called on a whim and snagged a cancellation. It was amazing.

    If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.

    Thanks Adrienne! I figure as it gets closer maybe more people might be making their changes? I will definitely keep checking back.

    The chances are zero. Boardwalk is a very popular place.
