That's amazing! I'm also from Western MA. Where are you flying out of? We paid $2300 for the five of us to fly non stop in just a couple weeks.

We are flying out of DTW and I am expecting to pay 1050 for 4 people.

We're on the other side of the state (southeastern MA) and we're hoping to head down in November. I expect to book next month at the AAA Travel Show.

I'll be there on the 24th! Can't wait! Last year we stayed in the Mansions so this year I am requesting AB. I actually stayed in AB when the resort was Dixie Landings, for my Honeymoon. So excited.

For anyone else who is reading, I faxed my request about 3 days out and never got an email confirmation, but I got all of my requests AND we were upgraded to a preferred room, so don't worry if you don't get an email.

I hope your DD feels better soon and nobody else gets sick.

Thanks I was trying to stay on top of those inquiries. They have just been swamped over there but not to worry plenty of magic is still available lol. Been busy myself.

We were booked at Bonnet Creek and I just couldn't stand the thought of not staying in a Disney hotel so we pushed the trip back a month, added a couple of days and booked our first stay at POR from 5/10-5/18! Now my dilemna...I booked a preferred room not even realizing that they are only in the AB buildings (I know I should have checked out Andre's site a little more first!). We definitely do not want to be in the AB section so now I'm not sure what to do. I know I need to drop the preferred room but don't know what to switch to in order to up our chances at getting a room in the mansions.

We have stayed at French Quarter twice and both times in building 2 so we have been spoiled by the closeness of everything. At Riverside, I would like to be close the parking lot bc we drive everywhere and then also a location close to the food court for our mugs, food, etc. Ultimate dream/pixie dust would be to get a Royal Room and by looking at Andre's awesome building maps, I'm thinking the Oak building would be nice. Is any of that possible if I book a standard or garden view room?

I faxed a room request on our first trip in 2009 and our 2nd trip in 2010 and neither were honored so I have never bothered since. Although this thread is massive, I have read that some people are having luck getting their requests so any help with that would be greatly appreciated!!
