Fax request cover sheet

[johnnyr]

When faxing a room request, do most of you include a cover sheet or just send the document by itself?

Just the letter itself. Cover sheets are a waste of time and paper.

We just send the letter. We usually only make about 3 requests with one of them being nonsmoking, and we've always been very happy with our room.

I actually went ahead and faxed my room request yesterday to ASMu and plan on doing it again a few days before we leave. Does that make sense?

Also, I called ASMu directly for the fax number and they gave me the wrong one! Of course, DU's website had the right number... I should have known!

I doubt that the one you faxed yesterday will do much good. The resorts don't receive the reservations until about 5 days before your arrival so they, for lack of better words, really don't know you exist yet. I would re fax it 4 days prior to arrival after 3pm. Not sure why after 3pm but a room assigner at WL told me this so I take heed of it.

This will be my first time faxing in a request - I've always been happy with the rooms we've been given, however, this time, since there are going to be 3 generations in one room, a day bed is essential... not something I should leave up to chance, right?

If I work off the "fax the request 4 days prior to check in"... does that work for faxing in the request on a Saturday or Sunday?

I just followed the suggestions set out on Deb's site (http://www.wdwig.com/cro1.htm) and had all of my requests granted at CBR. I didn't include a cover sheet, I didn't think it was necessary. Good luck with your requests :)

Thanks for the replies. I'll fax the letter without the cover.

Great thread. After getting two of the worst rooms this past trip, I'll never go to WDW again without faxing a room request.

Virgo10 - Just remember that it is only a request. They don't guarantee anything, but it sure doesn't hurt to try.
