Any tips for upgrading?

[KSkdvcbw]

We are going to the Boardwalk in late August, and have reservations for a Standard view Studio. Has anyone ever asked for a view or room upgrade and been successful in getting one (without having to use any extra points)? If yes, how did you do it? Thanks!

While cash reservations often can get an upgrade if available- it's not something which happens with DVC unless there is some problem with a room which can't be rectified. If your studio is not satisfactory and no other room is available- they could put you in that GV, but just a no-charge upgrade is very unlikely! Good Luck!

When we made our first ressie at home (BWV) I called prior to the closing and requested a 1BR std. view (162 pts.) At that time, all they had was prefrrd view (200 pts.) So I took that but put my name on wait list for std view (to save the pts if possible) About a month later they called and asked if I still wanted std view. I said YES. Low and behold when we got home we were UPGRADED to preferred view overlooking the quiet pool, I could watch my DD and DH swimming, and she could call up to me on the balconey and wave! My ressie once I checked in even said "UPGRADE". Just to be sure, I checked and was only charged the 162 pts for the std view lBR. As usual, Disney worked its "magic" again!! Hopefully you will get lucky!
