What types of requests have you asked for on your past stays. Not sure what is ok to ask and what would be too much. Anyone?
We've stayed CL many times at various resorts. From my experience, the level of CM help varies from CM to CM. Last year I asked IPO to assist me with planning some type of birthday celebration for my twins. Their response was to email me 2 different phone numbers to call (cake hotline and in-room dining). So...I planned everything myself. This year, however, I decided to ask again about planning an in-room surprise for my DH's birthday. Surprisingly, IPO replied with a happy-sounding message that they'd be happy to help -- gave me some treat options and prices! I chose an option and they said I'm all set. Very easy!! It was the same resort (Poly) that I had totally opposite experiences with. So that's why I think it just depends on which CM you are lucky enough to ask.
As far as dining, I always book my own online. That way, I can play around with times and something else might even pop up and I could change my mind/plans easier than I could if IPO was booking everything. I've never had a problem booking my own dining.
