They finally put it on a physical gift card for me. They kept telling me they sent it an email, but I never received it. I don't know if it's a Canadian thing or not.
Hopefully you get youlr request. The 90’s building is one of the furthest from Classic Hall so hopefully this will work in your favour as some people request a different room when they’re assigned a room in the 90’s. I had friends who made the request from a room other than their assigned 90’s room 2 weeks ago and was offered s room in the 60’s which she was happy with.Just called POP and requested the 90s building. The woman at first gave me a spiel that certain buildings were only associated with a specific room type.
She then put me on with someone else and she said the request was attached to my account, but of course that there are no guarantees. Gotta stay positive and not let it get me down if it doesn't happen. Only 5 days to go.
we are Canadian and quickly received the email when we checked in one week ago today. I chose to take a screen shot of it and easily pulled up the pic and used it at the World of Disney store in Disney Springs.
Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t aware of that.
That’s actually news to me as I always thought 3pm was the latest you could go without a room assigned to you. Time to adjust my expectations.
That’s a pretty typical check in time for most hotels. I’ve even seen 4 pm as a starting check in time. You can always ask the front desk when you get there if a room is ready. We’re going to do that in October because we just want some place to sleep before the Halloween party. We don’t even care where the room is.
I called the front desk (or mousekeeping?), and new towels arrived within 10 minutes!! Blew me away!!
I think the latest we received a room assignment was around 7:30pm one time at CR, so yes, if they have a big turnover day it can cause delays.
One of our trips to POP, our room wasn’t ready until 630pm. I spoke to the manager on duty and she said that there is no guaranteed time that your room will be ready. I thought I had read somewhere that the rooms were guaranteed by 6pm. I searched and googled the topic, but I couldn’t find anywhere that the rooms had to be ready by a certain time. This is the latest I have ever been assigned a room. But, from now on, I always prepare for a late check in
