Check-in, Fax-ahead, and requests...

[CK1]

I see so many posts regarding the "necessity" of checking in early, of getting those specific room requests down at the 7 mos or even 11 mos window, and even faxing the resort just prior to arrival date! And the things folks are having to request -- many of which are things they DON'T want, as opposed to what they DO! (i.e. NON-smoking, NON-handicapped, NO "garbage view", etc.!!)

How much of this is necessary? Does it work? I guess I was always under the assumption that they would "try" to accomodate requests, but once you were assigned within a "block", no amount of faxing would change that (short of the customer getting reallly mad and insisting on a room change). And within that block, I guess I always felt there was really very little difference. Have I been missing the boat? I can't say as how I've ever had a bad room yet....

I'm kind of with you on not having a bad room yet. We have had some things we would prefer not to have like not having the second door to the toilet etc, but we have never had anything bad. I think it kind of depends on which resort, your own preferences, and your personality.

At OKW, we ALWAYS request non-smoking, but that is truely our only concern. I have grown to like the South Point area, and I like having the second door to the bath if we have someone staying on the hide-a-bed, but which floor, which building, how near or far from HH, or which view are not really important to me. I can't say I have EVER been disappointed in our OKW stays.
