I waitlisted for BWV or BCV 2br for 11/27 thru 12/2. I called them to add a request at my confirmed resort (SSR) a month ago and asked if I was still on the waitlist for BWV and/or BCV and she said, "Yes, and we have availability at BWV." It was for the preferred view 2br (which is fine b/c I have 150 banked points I have to use or I lose them).
I, too, wonder if calling will sometimes get you further than waiting for them to call us, especially after reading some of these posts where people got their requests when they called in for something else. I know that they say not to call--they'll call you--but I wonder. I asked if I still had the 24 hrs to decide since no one had called me yet. Once she confirmed that no one had called me (she put me on hold to find out why no one had called me yet), she gave me the 24 hrs to decide.
Anyway, I'm still waitlisted for the BWV Boardwalk or BCV, but at this point I'm happy with what we have. I think that the preferred Luna Pool view is closer to the elevators and lobby than some of the other BWV locations ??? which might make the extra points worth it (I have a 1yr old and a 2yr old).
Best wishes to all....
