Can you recommend any special trick for requesting a particular loop or sites?

Put the request on your reservation, get there before the weekend rush and cross your fingers.

Also, call the resort about 7 days prior to your arrival date. Nothing is guaranteed, but these things can help.

I was told by a CM back in November when I called that fax requests were no longer the norm, and were not encouraged as they can get lost in a paper shuffle and never seen. Calling and using MDE were what I was told were the best options. This way they go right into your booking information and put the request directly in.

Glad I read this. I always faxed and always received my request for loop and multiple sites together. Will call this year!

When will you be there? We are going 9/29 thru 10/12! Also requested Loop 1400- it's actually why we switched our whole plan from staying in a cabin this time, to renting a camper and hoping we could get 1400 again. We were there once, and to us there could be no more perfect place!

Thank you, everyone! It's imperative that we get our requested loop because our Detroit Tigers will be playing their opener, and we want satellite! LOL! Not too much shade.....
