I'm not sure if this adds any fuel to the fire but....

I was also at the park the day of the event and stuck it out for 3 hours. Nobody told us about a list, and my name wasn't taken down at that time. I did call Deliverears a day or two later and found out they were still taking orders for the fountains, apparently since they did not receive the original list of names when I called. I told the castmember I was in the line but not on the list, and she took my order, but didn't ask for a receipt number for the purchases I made that day to verify I was there (although I certainly could have).

So I called Deliverears earlier this week to see if I was still on the list, I was told I would 'probably' be getting one in the second shipment in October, and my order was in the system as a backorder.

What I take from this is that Disney did not max out the waiting list on the day of the event, and that if you called within a day or two after, you would still have a chance to get a fountain as well.

While there is certainly a lot of interest in the fountain, 500 is actually quite a lot of anything if you think about it. Of course, I'll know for sure if and when my 'probably' becomes a 'definitely'.
