Is building requested guaranteed w/ Grand Gatherings? - The DIS Discussion Forums

Clare · 11-04-2009, 03:00 PM

Some background: We are staying at the Polynesian in January, and it's our first time to be booked as a Grand Gathering. There are nine of us, booked in three rooms. When I made the original reservation I requested the Rapa Nui building. We are booked from a Sat. - Sat., however my brother needed to change his room to Fri - Fri.

He called, and had no trouble modifying his reservation. The CM he spoke with noted that we would be in Rapa Nui. He (the CM) said that when you book a Grand Gathering your building request is guaranteed.

Is that accurate? I don't see why members of a Grand Gathering would be given their preference over a party with just one room booked.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks.

all requests are just requests, not guaranteed. We were a GG last year. Sometimes your rooms are not even together.

Well, that's what I thought. And obviously, that's fine with us. The CM's explanation just seemed odd.
