You can still contact the room controller and request certain room numbers or locations. It is better to request a location rather than a specific room number. If you request Tokalau, Rm 3126, the controller really has no idea what you are looking for. But if you say non-smoking, 3rd-floor with a balcony, they have a better idea of what you want. List the importance of your request in order, if a balcony is THE most important thing to you, write balcony, non-smoking room.
The room controllers can be reached by phone or fax, the phone # is 407-824-2000 and the fax # is 407-824-3174. The rooms are assigned 3-4 days from check-in so fax or call your request in then. If you fax, make sure you write Attn: Room Controller so they are sure to get it.
Finally, remember that these are requests, not gurantees, don't get your heart set on a balcony room and then be disappointed when one is not available. If you really want a lagoon view, book a lagoon view. I'm sending you pixie dust anyway.

Hope everything works out, have a great vacation!!
