Making a Room Request
http://i235.*************************************UsingDVC/RoomRequest.png
"Location, Location, Location" is a familiar phrase real estate agents use when buying a house, but it also applies to your room at a DVC resort. The room you are assigned can have a positive or negative impact on your Disney vacation.
When booking a resort you can request a specific location. This can be an area, a specific building, or even a specific room. Please do note that while Disney will do their best to honor all requests, they are not guaranteed.
What should you consider when when choosing?
How do you make a room request?
People used to commonly fax room requests directly to a resort, but that is an obsolete practice. Some still try calling the resort within 10 days prior to check-in, but you're talking to a call center and not to the resort, so I'm not sure if this practice is effective.
It is generally best if you make a room request that is a general description that emphasize what's important to you, as it is more likely to be granted rather than a specific room number request. This way, the cast member assigning your room will know why you wanted the room as opposed to just a specific number.
Reservations are sent to the resorts about 4-5 days beforehand when a room assigner goes through all of them and starts to assign rooms.
I've been told the room assignment process is very intricate.
Here is a room assigner in action, practicing the art of room assignment:

What should you consider when when choosing?
- Near to lobby and restaurants
- Upper or Lower floor
- Close to a particular pool
- Close to a bus stop
- A quieter area
