Checking in late at AKL?

[ErinC]

When we arrive for our FEB. 4th reservation, it will probably be around midnight to 1 a.m. I'm really concerned about our requests. We have a pool view, non-smoking room, and I requested bunk beds. I've already come to the conclusion that I probably won't get the bunk beds, but what about non-smoking. I just don't think that I can stay in a smoking room. Do I need to call or is non-smoking guaranteed for reg. Disney resorts. We are DVC so smoking/nonsmoking is not guaranteed. What have your experiences been when checking in late to AKL? Any advice?

Like DVC resorts smoking/non smoking is a request. What you could do is call ahead to the hotel, let them know that you will be arriving late in the evening (give them a time if you want) and that non smoking is a must. Let them know that you are afraid that you will get there and all that will be left is smoking rooms. Also keep in mind that occupancy the first week in Feb is fairly low, so the chances of having the requests honored anyway are good.

Thanks Liberty Belle, you are always so helpful! I know that generally early Feb. is a slow time, but this is also Super Bowl Weekend, and the reason we are driving all the way to Orlando was because I had a difficult time reserving anything on the way, like we usually do. We usually stay in Ocala, or Lake City, and months ago, it was already booked and I was told it was due to the Super Bowl. I really didn't know if Disney would be affected or not.
