Are you looking online, or have you called and spoken to someone directly? I've never heard of this, at any resort. DH and I went for 2 nights in Feb, and CR TPV was one of the options we were considering, so no minimum required then. May just be a glitch?
I think I understand your question, and if I don't I apologize. What it sounds like you're asking is what room request do you make so you face the MK and not Bay Lake, correct? If so, then that's not a room request. There are two categories of rooms that you can book. The Theme Park View category, in which you pay more to have your room face MK; and the Bay Lake View category, in which you pay less to have your room face Bay Lake. Hope that helps!
I've seen this for years, and at all levels of resorts at Disney, and for different types of discounts. (I.e., if you look for x number of days - usually less than a week - no availability or not for your preferred category. Then, if you add a day or two or more to the start or end of the original search, all of a sudden there's availability - even during those days for which it previously said no availability).
My travel agent said she has never seen it this way before. What is so infuriating is this-- my dates are 12/3-12/6. TPV (tower) is available for 12/3-12/5, OR 12/3-12/7. But NOT for 12/3-12/6.
We weren't able to do that. They said reservations weren't allowed to be modified when a room had restrictions. So for now I have the lake view booked hoping that this will change
Yes, you used to be able to do just that. This is a new policy change, that they started about 8 months ago. This is for booking rack rates or discounts. Most people don't know about this which is why I mentioned it. I know you were just trying to help.
This thread: page 1, post 6, under the "Taking a Walk through the Garden Wing" heading, the 2nd and 14th pictures show the walkway. It's a covered, open air walkway right at the base of the tower building.
So far, I only found laundry rooms in the garden wing and bay lake tower.

Well, they got me. I've been checking daily and now even more rooms are showing not available. And only tpv from 12/3-12/7. I just contacted my travel agent to change my dates/room.
