Hi Joni,
Welcome to planDisney! Thanks for bringing your
Disney Vacation Club question here today. It looks like you're planning a magical Walt Disney World Resort vacation during the holiday season. It's such a wonderful time to visit! I love the planning stages of a Disney Vacation Club vacation but at times, it can be tricky to snag a room that's harder to get or you might be hoping to book at a resort other than your Home resort and are in the 7-month booking window. Disney Vacation Club Members can
make a Waitlist request to help increase the chances of booking the ideal reservation. I've made Waitlist requests a few times and luck was on my side!
Disney Vacation Club Membership can have up to two active Waitlist requests at once per DVC Membership per Use Year. You'll have the option of choosing either a Waitlist cancellation of 31 days or 7 days before your check-in date. It's important to know that any extra
Vacation Points from a reservation changed within 30 days of your arrival will also be transferred to a
holding account. If you choose the 31-day option, you won't worry about the 30-day deadline but the 7-day option gives you more time to acquire the waitlisted accommodations.
Joni, I hope this information is helpful to your holiday vacation planning. If you have any other DVC or planning questions, please let me know!
Welcome Home,
Candace
