There is only so much Disney Vacation Club inventory, which means the room type you want during your travel dates at a specific resort may actually be booked up by the time you are trying to make that reservation. Unlike standard Disney hotels, the FastPass+ system, or even Walt Disney World's Advance Dining Reservations, when the DVC reservation you want is all full you can actually create a waitlist request. Like everything with Disney Vacation Club though, this is of course a bit more complex than it sounds at first glance. In this video we will go over everything we know for sure about the DVC waitlist, talk a bit about the mechanics, and I'll tell you what my single (thus far) experience with the waitlist has been.
