Let the stalking begin!!

[MeridaMonkey]

Two friends and I are running all three Wine & Dine races in October, we’re going to be on property from 10/22-10/27 with the goal of staying at the Poly (original studio due to the two showers and easy access to Dole Whip). I have been watching the booking tool for weeks and was finally able to book our stay and, go figure, one night right in the middle of our stay (10/24) is unavailable .

I’ve got 10/24 waitlisted, I’m hoping since it’s one night it will get filled. I’ve got the days before and after that I need and I’ve got a back-up booked just in case a split-stay becomes necessary, but we’d really love to not have to move rooms.

So now, in addition to the waitlist, I get to obsessively stalk the booking tool to see if I can grab that night myself .

I’m hoping once the MNSSHP dates are announced that will cause some reservation shuffling and the date will open.

Fingers crossed

I had to chuckle at your post because I am doing the same thing, but at a different resort!!

I figured there had to be others in the same boat as me, studios for 10/24 in particular seemed like they were completely booked (except for SSR and OKW) almost a full month before the 7-month window opened!!

Best I could figure was that there was a Moonlight Magic event on 10/24 last year and people may have booked studios in anticipation of that happening again…

I hope you get the studio you’re looking for!!

I think you'll get it between stalking and waitlisting. Keep us posted and sending you good luck!!!

That’s funny. Our family is doing the 5k together and I booked a studio at the Poly, one of my home resorts.

My son wants me to try and get into a different resort, preferably one we haven’t stayed at yet. Which is BLT, BCV or Boardwalk. I said I’ll see, which I have no intention of doing since I love the Poly.

Best of luck!

Just got the call from DVC services! Our waitlist went through. So relieved to have the five nights, not switching rooms and not having to stalk the site any more.

That’s awesome!! There is absolutely no studio availability for the date I’m missing, even SSR and OKW are gone!!

I am constantly checking the website but nothing so far….I’m not too terribly concerned, it’s one night so I think it will come through and if it doesn’t I do have a Plan B already booked. I’d rather not move, though, so keep your fingers crossed for me!!

I was walking and watching FW cabins and 10/24 almost tripped me up too. But I was able to secure it. October 23-28. So it’s a tricky date I guess.
