    Default Room requests

    Just wondering if any of you have had much luck with room requests? The first time we went to Port Orleans we requested Alligator Bayou and got the Mansions. Which we totally fell in love with, so the next time we went, we requested the Mansions. You guessed it - we got the Bayou! So for our trip in May I'm kind of over thinking what to ask for so that I actually get a room in the Mansions...even though they've gone and Princessified "our" building right out of my price range :-) (and even if I could afford a Royal room, I showed the pictures to my husband and he said staying in one of those would be a bit like smothering to death on cotton candy....)

    I'm pretty hit and miss too! More often than not, we "kinda" get what I asked for ... only a couple of times has it been spot on.

    Other than noting it on your reservation, I think all you can do is ask when you check-in. Part of the challenge with the Mansions at POR, is (as you know) that there are only two buildings, and they are the only buildings with elevators, so they oftentimes are in high demand.

    This may also be a time where online check-in doesn't help ... since you'll want to talk to someone and see if they can find a spot in the Mansions. If you do end up in a Royal Room, you'll love them ... we stayed in one right as they opened, and it was much nicer than we ever imagined.

    20 bucks when you check in seems to help.

    Depends on the request.

    I have not had much luck with request based purely on preference.

    However, the few times that I have requested something based on the medical needs of a member in our party the CMs bent over backwards to try and help us.

    We've always had good success having our requests notes on our reservation. You can always talk to someone at check-in if your request was granted during room assignment.

    Hi - suggest that on the 10th day before your arrival that you call the actual resort you are booked at. On that day they receive your reservation and you can personally check on your request for the building or room. That is the day they start preplanning where to place you. This definitely does help. Habe a good trip.
