Condo assignments

[zavandor]

I’ve read that WDW is transitioning to a Central Inventory Management System early this year where rooms are assigned much earlier, but I’m pretty sure the DVC resorts aren’t part of the initial roll out of that system.

Rolling out a new inventory management system that will assign tens of thousands of rooms every day...
It's Disney IT, what could go wrong?

I used the number that I have had for years that is OKW direct number. I assume I reached OKW, maybe they reroute that number now. I was told years ago, the rooms were assigned by the resort. That was told to me by a Manager at OKW. That may have changed.

That isn’t right because theme park view have never been 1st floor rooms and are only in the outer side near parking lot,center of resort.

Sandi this appears to be a picture from PIT at PVB and how they have assigned first floor "Theme Park view" points.

I can see the Contemporary far in the background which if BLT would show much closer since you know it is attached.
It also looks like there is some sand there on the walkway. BLT/Contemporary has sand as well but that is with a view of Bay Lake.

Edit: Looks like it is room 8112

Yes, definitely one of PIT’s planters in that photo, I walked that path several times a couple months ago going to the Poly from the VGF & even studied those planters wondering how long it would take for the plants to grow & make it look more tropical like the rest of the Poly’s landscaping .

Hi:
We are staying at the Polynesian and when we went to check in Wednesday, the CM could see our reservation, but couldn’t find our room assignment (it was after 4:00 pm, so it wasn’t a case of the room not being ready). She told me they were the last resort to get the new system that now assigns the rooms. She had to call whoever is in charge of the system. She also told me those people have been extremely busy, I assume with glitches in this new system. She was on hold for at least a half hour and finally after 45 minutes we were given a room. She was great and kept apologizing for the delay and I told her not to worry because it wasn’t her fault. It definitely wasn’t anywhere near where I requested, but it’s not my home resort and also I respect that requests are just that and there is never a guarantee. I wonder if you arrive later in the day if this system possibly reassigns if someone asks for a different room since supposedly it assigns rooms on the day of your arrival.
We have been members since 1993 and I have to say I really feel some of the magic is gone. For the first time since 1993, when booking this trip, I spoke to a really nasty, condescending CM. I am not an aggressive person, so this was really upsetting and shocking to me. However, I also spoke with a couple of wonderful CM, which has always been the norm.
