Same with us regarding emails.
We had a wait list come through and received absolutely no notice.
Same here. I found out when I received the envelope with the flyer that says, welcome and it shows the resort you'll be staying at and the amenities, and it was Kidani instead of SSR. I logged on to DVC and sure enough wait list fulfilled.We had a wait list come through and received absolutely no notice. I would not have known unless I called DVC about an unrelated trip.
I had an existing reservation and waitlisted Kidani because I thought the girls would prefer the experience, never having stayed there. I thought it was a long shot and was perfectly ok if it didn’t come through as the stay was booked so I put it out of my mind. It was a pleasant surprise.Personally I check my online account at least once a day
Personally I check my online account at least once a day when I have am on a waitlist, seems like a simple way to check to me.
I got an email BUT it doesn't say your waitlist has come through, it's just a booking confirmation. At first I thought they'd just sent the original booking confirmation again (as we had opted to switch on a waitlist coming through) and it wasn't until I read it again later I realised it had actually confirmed my waitlisted accommodation.
