If you're at a resort that you're considering staying at on a future trip, you can even ask to shown one of the empty rooms, as long as the CMs at the front desk aren't too busy!
This is how we decided, during our stay at the Grand Floridian, that our next family trip would be at the Polynesian resort. We had a dinner reservation for the Kona Cafe and asked the front desk if we could see what the rooms looked like. One of the CMs took us to a non-occupied room, and then gave us a quick tour of the resort. Once we walked "out back" and saw the volcano pool and view of the castle, and felt so comfortable with the theming of the resort and how beautiful the grounds were, we were all hooked! LOL We've since stayed at the Polynesian 4 times, with our fifth trip booked for May 2008
And prior to that, we had been staying at CBR and were having a meal at the Grand Floridian and my DH wanted to see what the rooms were like, so a CM showed us a room. My DH was very impressed, asked the CM if any rooms with a view of the castle were available, and when she made some calls and told us they did have castle-view rooms (lagoon view category at that time), we made the decision on the spot to switch over to the GF immediately! LOL We went back to CBR and packed up, and went right back to the GF. To the credit of CBR, they were wonderful about it and even gave us and our luggage a ride to the GF in one of their "CBR" vans.
So you never know what might happen when you visit a resort to check it out! You just might find your new FAVORITE resort
