Does anyone have Photos from the Poly Tokalau 3rd balcony?

[disalways]

I am getting SO EXCITED! I just called the Poly to confirm that our two rooms are connected, and the CM told me they are... and told me we are staying in the Tokalau on the third floor.... So I was wondering if anyone has photos from their 3rd floor balconies?

Ohhhhh... I am so excited!

I will try and find mine, they were pre digital camera so had to be scanned in, but if I don't get back before you go,have a brilliant brilliant time, we have requested Tokelau 3rd floor overlooking quiet pool (fingers crossed we get it) but the building is in such a great location, I am sooooo envious of you.

Have a magical time

I was under the impression rooms assignments were not done until you checked in. No requests are guanteed beforehand. Am I wrong in this?

Jewelmicky, I really don't know what is typical. I can only say that when I called, that was what I was told by a CM at the Polynesian. I should add here that I had tons of problems with my reservations in the begining, and I had to speak with a wonderful CM with Guest Services many, many times. Perhaps he had something to do with this... I don't know.

Cinders Mum... Thanks so much... I am so excited... two more days and I will be there.

I have heard from a few posters right here on the DIS that Disney knows your room location and number about 3-5 days before your arrival. That is why they suggest you fax them a building request a week ahead of your arrival.

I think they do know your room number 3-5 days ahead... but it can change so they don't like to tell you what it is. In this case (all the problems, etc.) I'm sure they have it marked as "change this and die" (but in nice, Disney terms, of course).

I know this because I tried and tried to move my room at CSR last June to be closer to the pool. But I didn't try until check in, and the CM was super-nice and explained a bit about how rooms are assigned. By the time I checked in that day, most rooms were already "done deals" (it was almost 4pm) so she couldn't exactly kick someone out to put me in... my choices were limited.

If you get there early enough, you can pretty much have your pick. Not exactly of course, but you do have more choices.

Thank you all for your thoughts on this. I am totally psyched for my vacation! And so are my kids... I am seriously hoping this is a "done deal"since it sounds perfect.
