How many days/weeks/months ahead do you need to rent a cabana to ensure availability? thanks.
I have seen posts that stated guests called just days before and were able to rent a cabana, but you CAN rent up to 180 days out. Just give a cc to hold it.
Hey guys its me again! I just keep coming back for answers to my questions because you guys are so helpful
The morning of our wedding I will be getting my hair and make up done in our room with my mom and my fiances mom. I wanted to order room service for that morning (after 6 am - because I think I read some where thats when it starts). Does anyone have the phone number so that I could order ahead of time? I know they may not let me order this far in advance but I could just let them know room number when we get there? Even if I had to pay now to confirm. Also if anyone knows where I could find the menu for that so I could take orders of what they want now.
Thanks so much for any help that you can offer.
The Private Dining menu is at the bottom of the first page of this thread.
There is a button on your in room phone, I don't think they will take the order until 24 hours ahead, but you can certainly call and ask them questions in advance. The number is 407-824-2474.Online Checkin Question... There are threads about NOT being able to make a request with Online Chekc-In, but what about requests you have already made at the time of booking? We are arriving New Year's Day and saving well over $600 by staying that one night at POR. Then on to the GF LV! I figured that it might be smart to do online checkin for both when I am leaving Savannah for the last leg of the trip. Hopefully it will be that much quicker when we arrive
Any experience with this question? I was afraid to do online checkin last time too...
I have not had good luck with online check in - we've had problems with getting checked in at the resort, lost info, lost packet, slow online check in line vs. regular line, etc. However, others have had great luck with it and love it, so it's personal preference.
My advice is to wait if you want to discuss your room assignment and possibly switch. Online check in was designed to walk up, grab your packet and keys and go, without much chat with the CM.
Good luck!
Someone - cgulls? - posted a link to photos a few pages back. I'll see if I can find the link.
As jackson2422 posted, we did not hear any boat activity while on the marina side. Beautiful view (posted a photo in post #12 on the first page).
Welcome!
Glad you were there before the courtyard pool renovations, we lucked out, too.Hello Everyone
We are officially going in late January staying Deluxe RPC
This is going to be our last trip for a long time...or at least says my husband
So...I am trying to make this a really great trip! We were originally booked in a Deluxe King...I was always worried about not getting the Turret style...because our desire is more space...so, as it worked out when the Room Discounts came out I couldn't apply it to my King ressie but I could change to the Deluxe RPC with Queen beds....
So, now my question is...Do I want to "request" the square or triangle shaped room? Which feels larger? Which are located in the "quietest" place?
Anyone stay in these rooms and have a room number they would request again?
Hello!
Sorry to hear this may be the last trip for a while, but maybe after a bit your DH will feel the pull of the Mouse.
We said our first trip would be a "once in a lifetime" trip for the kids - you see where that went.
Way to go on snagging a deluxe with a discount - hard to do. There are 6 deluxe queen rooms, four over the courtyard on the 3rd and 4th floors (rooms end in 19 and 20, I think), and 2 over the beach pool (room numbers end in 22). The beach pool rooms are the triangular, courtyard are the rectangles. We've had one over the courtyard and loved it, tons of room - you can see photos of a similar room on page 1, posted by Lulu'sMom. There are photos in a past thread that minniesota posted of the triangular rooms, I'll see if I can find them.
Room 4022 is on the fifth floor, next to a king deluxe room overlooking the beach pool. I believe this room is part of a suite. The triangular queen deluxe rooms are on the 3rd and 4th floors. Lulu'smom posted that some of the rooms in this area were converted to king rooms, but I believe those were standard queen rooms. I'll have to see if I can find that discussion.
I have not found a room map similar to the one for the WL. Disneyzone has room maps for the Y&BC, but not the GF - wish they did, even though the ones for Y&B are a bit outdated, they are still helpful.
You may know this already, but the first number in the 4-digit room number denotes the building (building 7 is Conch, building 8 is Boca, building 9 is Big Pine, etc.), the second the floor and the last two the room number. According to the map, the room numbers in Conch start with 01 and run to 18, so I am not sure about 19 and 21...but the higher numbers are likely on the boat dock end, I think I had 7501 in 2007, and our room was on the SL end. Have to check that to be sure.
I would guess your friend is suggesting a request for the rooms closest to the boat dock end, as these rooms may be garden view category, but have an oblique view of the MK.
I've heard this as well, makes sense. I have read of guests staying in the same room each year, but this is less often than those who didn't get what they wanted.
You can certainly discuss a particular room with the CM at check in, that may be a better way to get it - if it is open, there is little reason they won't let you have it. We have had this experience once at BC, got the room we had from the year prior - but we originally requested a general area rather than the specific room number.
Thanks for the info.
yes k&a&c'smom is correct...I DIDN't change to SL....it killed me not to book it .....
Tell me again why I let the Princesses dicate when I book...OH, they are in charge, I forgot 
I'm but a monorail stop away.....
Went back to read it again and it was like the V8 moment for me.
