We have a reservation for a LV Studio next month. I called MS and gave them a room request of a high floor and a room ending in 06, 08, or 14. What luck has anyone had in getting specific requests like this?

Thanks,

Scott

I don't think there have been posts where people listed specific rooms and got them. If I saw your room request as stated, I would first try to get you a high floor and second try for one of the room numbers you listed. Is that the order you would want?

The more specific you are, the less likely you are to get it and possibly be disappointed. Plus, if 6,8 or 14 is not available, then what? CM's won't really know so it might work against you.

I have not read that anyone put in a request for specific rooms and ended up getting them.. There have been a few posts where people got to the resort and had the map and asked if a particular area was available and it was.

Good luck!

The first floor gets traffic for the models that they have open (every day 2-4). The fifth floor gets the traffic from the skybridge to the Contemporary. I would probably stay away from those if you are looking for quiet.

So the models are open from 2-4 each day? That is it? well that won't be so bad.

Stayed in room 7608 last week ...

Thanks so much for this post - we used it all of your info to request a room with a terrific view!

Stayed in 8026 last week. Requested an "upper floor" for our MK view and it was great. Room was ready when we arrived at noon.

You are welcome! Can you confirm that it was a Lake View room and not a Standard View room?

We put in that exact request for the last week in October and got room 7814. It was a great room and was a handicap accessible room. Great view of the lake and MK plus it had a regular door on the bathroom (so no gap) and the sink was not back to back with the kitchenette.

Hi everyone. I am really enjoying everyone's photos! I was just wondering ( I am a new DVC owner) who do I call to request a specific room and when would I call? I am going to be checking in on January 8th. Thanks for sharing your pictures and reviews. They really help!!

First of all, Welcome Home!! You should call Member Services and give them your room request, and you can it right now, if you want.

BTW, veteran DVCers have advised against requesting a specific room. If that room isn't available, then the resort won't know where to put you. Its better to ask for something less specific, like "upper floor, even numbered room", or "lower floor, Contemporary view."

Good luck!!

YoureverydayAdam has a trip report going http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=33518891&postcount=16. The photos show he is in room 7204, a 1 bedroom and he states it is a lake view room. You can see the lake through the trees.

We were in the studio on 7206 in October. They somehow call this a Lake View, which is a big stretch. We actually can see more of the Magic Kingdom (space mountain) than Bay Lake from this room... but this really should have been a standard view room. Then again, the fireworks were easily visible from the balcony.

I do not understand how 7206 could be considered lake view, I was in 7306 in August and it was standard view. I even rechecked at the front desk just to confirm I had not gotten an upgrade. I could see the lake, but it was obstucted by trees. I was very satisfied with that room as a standard view.

Last month we stayed at BLT in a MK view one bedroom. We got #7620, which has the lockoff for a 2 bedroom. I was a bit worried with all the chatter of requesting a room that is high up, but we were not disappointed at all. I could see if you were any lower where it may be an issue, but I had no problems with our view. It was quite spectacular to wake up in the middle of the night and see the castle all lit up. While we were there we also saw them testing the ice castle lights in sections throughout the night. This was over Columbus Day weekend. Here is our room and the view we had:

Awesome room and pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

Thank you so much for your help and suggestions!!! That is a very good point! I am wondering if maybe I should just see what kind of pixie dust I can get on my own instead of requesting. Really, I am just happy to be staying "home" for the first time!

Yeah, this is quite possibly the worst lake view room of the whole resort.
Barely any view of the lake.

sorry forgot - studio - standard - 7209 - it had a tree (which was nice for me - allowed privacy) you got a nice view of the pool and the courtyard.
