I booked a 9 night stay at my 7 month window for a 1 bdrm. at BC from 10/15-10/24. They had every night available except the 17th, so we booked OKW for that one night and asked to be wait listed. The DVC cast member suggested we wait list as follows:
1st choice- BC 1 bdrm
2nd- BC studio
3rd- BW studio
4th- BW 1 bdrm
She said that if the BW came available first, we would be automatically switched there, but would remain on the wait list until our 1st choice possibly came through. When I called the other day to check our wait list status, that cm said that as of June 1st the policy has changed for wait listing. Now, if any of your wait lists come through and you accept it, the other wait lists that you have for that day would be dropped from their system. So if BW became available and I accept it to get closer the the BC resort area, I will no longer remain on the wait list for my first choice of 1 bdrm at the BC. I would then have to re- request to be wait listed for my 1st choice of BC 1bdrm. and be placed at the bottom of the list. Has anyone else been told this? I was just wondering why DVC had not sent out any info pertaining to this change in policy, as I would have been very disappointed if I would have found out that I got dropped from the list by accepting anything other than my 1st choice. So I obviously have removed the BW 1bdrm and studio from my wait list as well as the BC studio, but now feel that I am limiting my possibilities of a quick resort change for that one night if the BC 1 bdrm does not come available.
