We want to request building 85 as standard location, but she was told that is only preferred now,

As you suspected, the CM was wrong. Half of building 85 is Standard Location. Ironically, the same applies to building 90 which they did accept!

Yeah, that's what we figured, didn't feel like feel like fighting that battle and will call another day. We both used your site to get info, thanks.

Referred to as phone CM roulette. Unfortunately a very common thing to have to do.

Looking at the TA email againit was building 80, not 90 they allowed. I'll edit post.

Are any standard location, 5th sleeper rooms refurbished yet?

No, they won't be starting on the Alligator Bayou section until the end of the summer. They were all done relatively recently though, so they're in good shape.

Curious what the construction status is currently? We are going in June and prefer the Magnolia Bend side. I'd love a refurb room if we can get one in standard view. My favorite building is 85 on the river side but that won't be happening anymore

There won't be any construction going on in June. The last of the Magnolia Bend buildings (95, the Royal Rooms) should be finished within a month or so, and the AB section will commence late summer. You are right that the river-facing rooms in building 85 are now considered to be Preferred Location bookings.
