Am I waitlisted correctly?

[Potigant]

I Have a BWV studio booked 3/14-3/17 and VGF studio booked 3/18-3/21. I would take either resort for the night of 3/17 but neither is currently available. I want to keep the split stay, just 4-3 or 3-4. I created two waitlists, one for BWV 3/14-3/18 of the same room type, and one for VGF 3/17-3/21. Both are set to replace the bookings at the same resort, just adding the extra day. Is this an ok way to do it, and Disney knows that my 3 existing nights will free up along with the 1 additional night to fulfill the waitlist? Or do I HAVE to do 1 night waitlists then merge them later? I was hoping to avoid the extra merging step, but if they won't fill because of the way I did it, I will go back and change them to 1 night waitlists. Thanks.

You don’t want to do it that way because waitlists are all or nothing. They don’t consider what you already have booked.

So, those won’t fill unless all of those nights open up in a new room, which means you would be waiting for nights you already have.

You only want to waitlist the missing night. So, change the waitlist just for 3/17 foe each resort.

If it fills, then you can ask MS to merge it with what you already have.

Ok thank you! I will get them changed to 1 night waitlists and merge later if they fill. I appreciate your help.

So if your waitlist doesn't fill where are you sleeping?

You might want to ensure you have a room by booking something/anything for 3/17 and stating in your waitlist to replace the existing booking. It gives you that option.

You are dealing with 2 pretty popular resorts. There's always a chance one will fill but there's no guarantee.

Good question. The two bookings I have were both made yesterday so it’s all speculative at this point. Just trying to piece something together, otherwise I will use hotel chain points to stay somewhere else likely in another state. Wouldn’t be willing to move twice in two days to make this work. Hopefully one of the two comes through before 30 days out, or another 3-4 adjacent nights free up at another resort. I’ve been checking daily and it seems like different options pop up pretty regularly.
