Let's use this thread to keep track of IGT, OGT and VGT assignments? - The DIS Discussion Forums

mddisneyfamily · 04-30-2012, 05:03 PM

I think it would be interesting to see what kind of rooms are being assigned when booking a IGT, OGT or VGT room. I'm interested to see what categories are assigned, if the assigned rooms are in desirable locations, etc. I didn't see a thread that followed these over time, so if you booked one of these rooms could you please post your assignments when you get them (or post now if you recently got your assignment)? Please include:

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship?
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room?
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get?
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location?
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together?
#6. How many days before departure date did you book?

I think tracking this info over time will give us a better idea of what we might anticipate when booking one of these bargain rooms...

I would be interested to know the following too :
- How many days before departure date did you book ?

Was it a GTY or a VGT? It looks like you booked a "regular" GTY (with a specific category).

I think the purpose of this thread is to see how the last minute restricted rooms (IGT; OGT; VGT) are.

Well I will be the first. We got our room assignments today for our 5/14 cruise - so 13 days out.

We had 2 cabins booked a VGT and an OGT. The VGT assigned was a 5B mid ship. So not a leftover at all....not a navigator balcony or a steel wall or right over the night club....no complaints here.

The OGT was a 9B, also mid ship on deck 2....looks like a good cabin to me.

The cabins are not close together but we did not expect them to be. The "kids" are 22 and 24 so they do not need mom and dad next door.

Wow, nice rooms! Interesting to see that room assignments aren't always given 12 days before.

I'm REALLY hoping our rooms are close together though, since with 4 kids, a couple of the kids will have to be in another room with my DH.

Keep the posts coming :-)

#1. Did you book a IGT, OGT or VGT room, and on which ship? IGT
#2. How many days before the cruise were you assigned your room? 11 (Monday)
#3. What category (ex: 7a, 4c, 11c or whatever) and room # did you get? 11C #2525
#4. Are you happy with your assignment or do you feel like you got a "leftover"- undesirable room/location? Not particularly happy, considering everyone else seemed to get at least a little upgrade. Yes, I feel it was a leftover.
#5. If you booked more than one room, are they close together? N/A
#6. How many days before departure date did you book? 90

So for those who were wondering if your CC status, or being a DVC member might help in getting some kind of upgrade, the answer in our case is no. We are Gold CC and also DVC but not even a teeny, tiny upgrade. Oh well, we will still have a fun trip

We booked an OGT in February for our June cruise and got a 7A assigned

4 FOR DISNEY · 07-20-2012, 05:39 PM

Booked 1 VGT stateroom on Dream 5 night double dip for july 27th 2012

I was assigned on Tuesday the 17th 10 days prior to cruise

I received a 5A cabin

I did not feel like it was a leftover cabin, although it is directly across from the elevator so I am hoping that it is not too loud.

I booked 33 days before departure

7 days to go!!!!
