    Default Wow, a big wait list shocker

    I booked a 2 br standard at AKLV for Nov less than a month ago, and waitlisted for a 2 br value. The CM said that it didn't look good, since none of my nights were available.

    Lo and behold, I got the letter in the mail yesterday and I got the 2 br value!

    Saving points, wa-ho!

    We successfully waitlisted for a studio at BWV for a week a few years ago. This May we have reservations at OKW, with a waitlist for either BLT or Villas at WL. I wonder if we'll get either.

    Good for you! That value 2 bedroom at AK is a real point value. I hope to do this someday myself!

    what is the difference between the Value and Standard View?

    Does a One Bedroom Value also have the extra bathroom?

    Value and Standard "View" - view is the key word. Value rooms are the same as their standard counterparts except for what you see outside of your windows.

    Value view is the parking lot/maintenence building/equipment/etc. view.

    I would like to change my answer! I'm sooo wrong... heehee.

    Jambo house has the value size rooms. The Value size rooms are smaller and the 1 bedroom value DOES NOT HAVE AN ADDITIONAL BATH. Only the Kidani 1-bedrooms have the additional bathroom.

    Thanks a bunch!

    We were SHOCKED about our wait list "stay". We wanted a 2 BR from 10/8-10/18 @ BLT. However, only a 1 BR was available from 10/8-10/11, then we got the 2 BR for the rest of the time. We made that reservation one day. Well just the other day I went on the DVC website and we got our 2 BR for the whole time. The date on the new reservation was the very next day from the original reservation! I couldn't believe that one day later a 2 BR became available!! We're so excited.

    Our waitlist for THV came through a month after our reservation at the 7 month mark for Labor Day Weekend. Dreams do come true!

    You are going to love the Treehouses!!! They are really a vacation home. The best point value IMO.
