No way! That is nutso! Well, relatively speaking haha.
Standard rooms are standard rooms. There is nothing to request in my experience. If you are flying in, one thing to consider is taking the Grayline Disney Resort Express and only renting from Alamo at Downtown Disney on the days you want a car. We used our Costco discount and got a standard sized car for $58 for three days. Self-parking wasn't bad at all. But I only had to do it once (DH did it the other times).
