Good Tidings, Cynthia!
It sounds like you have
a magical Christmas coming up! We make a bi-annual pilgrimage to Walt Disney World Resort for Christmas, and I LOVE it! There is nothing that makes me happier than being at the Most Magical Place on EARth during the
Most Wonderful Time of the yEAR!
Let me see if I understand your dilemma. You have a Resort reservation for another Disney Vacation Club property (let’s say
Disney’s BoardWalk Villas for the fun of it!), but are also waitlisted for
Disney’s Riviera Resort. Now that you are less than a month out from your arrival, you are anxious to get the party started and
check-in online? Is that correct?
Ok, let’s talk
Waitlist Reservations! Your reservation is active until seven days before your desired check-in date. If you get your desired room, you will see the reservation on your
Member Dashboard at
disneyvacationclub.com. You will then be able to confirm your stay at Disney’s Riviera Resort. Once you confirm your waitlisted booking, all other concurrent active reservations will be canceled. But, that only happens once you have confirmed the new reservation.
So, go ahead and
check-in online for Disney’s BoardWalk Villas (!) while you wait for your Disney’s Riviera Resort room. It will not cancel your waitlist reservation. Quick note, though, you can use
Direct-to-Room and Online Check-in Services anytime in advance, including the day of your arrival. So you can wait until a week before your arrival just in case you get your desired reservation!
I hope this helps! Regardless of whether you get to stay at Disney’s Riviera Resort, make sure to visit
Topolino’s Terrace - Flavors of the Riviera. Watching the Christmas fireworks from the rooftop is the perfect way to get in the Holiday Spirit!
