Beach Club Villas - Studio - Room Request Help

[Opie100]

My family of four is staying at BCV in a studio for six nights over New Year's -- looking for advice for room requests. I would prefer (a) a quiet location (most important: not to hear the road); (b) to reduce walking (without sharing a wall with an elevator shaft).

What magic words do I utter to the CSR for this type of room? View isn't critical, provided we don't hear cars.

pool view, high floor.

Thank you! I'd also like to avoid 376 and 476, but perhaps that's unlikely if I just say pool/high.

If I were to request woods view, could that include the Epcot view rooms that face the road? I'd prefer to avoid those.

why 376 and 476? they are not near the elevators?

You're right -- I think I would rather walk than share a wall with an elevator. I guess it is 260, 360, 460, 560 that I'd be concerned with. I suppose saying high floor pool view not 260/360/460/560 would be too much.

Would saying high floor non-Epcot view be effective? Or would they not know exactly what I meant?

The only potential problem with pool view happened to me last time. The lights facing the pool were so incredibly bright that no matter how well I tried to shut the curtains, I got some light in. Otherwise the location was perfect for quiet. Maybe the "jog" about half-way down the main hall, in the rooms that face the woods would be good. However, I've tried requesting those and been successful less than half the time. A few times we've gotten that "jog" but in the rooms that face the road. I definitely don't enjoy facing the road-great for Illuminations viewing, but otherwise, too noisy.
