For those who use Touring Plans to submit your requests, what has been your success rate been? I'm debating singing up for the subscription, just wondering if it's worth it.

What is wrong with just accepting the room they give you? I never make requests.

Nothing wrong with that. There's also nothing wrong with asking for a particular view/area.

Nothing at all. At the same time, there’s nothing wrong with putting a simple request if you feel it will enhance your stay. It only takes a few minutes. There is no wrong way to do Disney IMO

Most likely the north wing, pool area. Might get a glimpse of the Pembe Savannah.

I have used a generic „nice view“ request at various resorts. Yes, nice is subjective, but it avoids the really bad views. We usually had pretty good rooms with this request.

Depends on what you are looking for, I guess. The room finder on Touring Plans is pretty helpful. Also see this post from @drusba:

Thank you!
I have made the request.

Depends of how you define "success". An exact room number, maybe once in a handful of years. But getting the proximity to what I asked for, 100%. Just use their room/view finder and then set up your request. I don't make any other request thru Disney because I am worried I'll cancel out what Touring Plans requests.

I think the subscription is worth it.

Thanks for the response. As exact room numbers is a long shot, a close proximity is is acceptable. I occasionally use the room view option.

I'll be signing up for the subscription.

Well, I didn’t even come close to getting my request

Touring Plans hands down. I subscribed mainly for that reason. I had a split stay just one week ago. One at OKW and the other at GF. I go on their site and can pick the rooms I want that include the view and interior on many rooms and then put in my request to them and they make the request on my behalf. They nailed both rooms perfectly.

How do they make the request for you, I thought the owners had to ne the ones to put in requests How much is the subscription? Is there any other reasons to join besides room requests? Thank you

And, FYI, I in no way work there or benefit in any way. This is Len Testa's site who also writes the 'Unofficial Guide' and that's how I found out about Touring Plans. Len is a known information magnet for everything Disney. I don't remember the cost, but it was very reasonable, but there's a ton of information including real time lines and a pliable plan based on your preferences. I use the cell phone App when in the parks.

Anyway, on their site, you'll look at a map on the resort and literally pick rooms and many have pictures of views from that room. You let them know what your dates are and confirmation numbers and you let them know the room you would like and they will send you their thoughts on a request and send it out at a preferable 30 days before your stay. I've used it for two trips and it's worked well both times along with our last split stay last week. While they can't guarantee you'll get those exact rooms, we did in both resorts and loved them.

Just my two cents on something that's worked well for us.

Oh no worries, just curious because I am interested!

I do think landing a room where u can see fireworks in a resort view like we did for bcv does make the trip more special and is worth looking into to up our chances!

I did notice when you go on the site and click a room it does already list what kind of room it is, like it tells you NE facing room and gives you examples of other rooms just like it for requests!

Im assuming with the paid subscription they would probably provide even more detail

 

[IDSkinner]

I agree.

I don't recall what you're allowed to view with a non-paid subscription, but I'm able to see actual photo's of a specific room that people like you and I send to them, so there are a lot of photo's to give you the best idea of the view you want. Are you able to see the pictures when viewing a room?

Yes I can see the picture and examples, I will ask them

 

[IDSkinner]

Here's an example of the porch view picture that is seen on room 9412 that is on their site that we ended up getting. Are you seeing this?

Yes I can see all the room views like that and the bottom tells me what to put on the request. Room numbers that are similar and the way the building faces

Just as an example. I did exactly this at Poly. Requested a couple diff room numbers and a building and facing.

I got a different building, facing the parking lot.

Called the front desk and got moved to a totally different building
