Draft your favorite obnoxiously over-the-top room request (winner will be selected)

[Mandy aka Minnie]

Dear Room Controller,

I am so incredibly happy to be going to Walt Disney World next week. I know you always do your best to accomodate people and I was hoping you could accomodate this:

I will be sneaking my cat, Fru-Fru into the Grand Floridian. Could you please have a bed set up in the room especially for her. She does not like the color purple, her favorite is pink. Almost anything glittery will do. Could you also have Mickey Mouse greet us in the room when we arrive -- I know this would give my kitty a great surprise seeing that big ol' mouse sitting on the bed!

Also, my darling Fru-Fru absolutely loves Cinderella. Would it be possible for us to have an after hours dinner at Cinderella's on Wednesday, complete with Cinderella *and* Prince Charming. I would ask for Tuesday, but that's the day we plan on trying to get Fru-Fru a hair appointment at the salon.

Now as for the room. We would love to get a free upgrade to the Haunted Mansion after Thursday. I just adore the Ball Room. We could sleep on the tables. Don't worry, during the day we could just dance around the Ball Room with the other ghosts... No one would know the difference!

Oh yes. I almost forgot. I would also like a pair of ear plugs for my darling, for when we go to Fantasmic! on Friday. That reminds me... We also wanted to get complimentary Fantasmic! Dinner Package seating, with out the dinner part. Fru-Fru did not like any thing I showed her on the menus.

I know this next request might seem outrageous, and I hate even asking, but I thought I'd try just the same. Do you think there is any possible way we could get an extra bar of Mickey soap to take back to my wonderful dog, Max? He won't be able to make it to Disney World with us this time, he will be skiing in Aspen.

Thanks so much!

Dear Allstar room controller,
We are SO excited to be staying at your magical resort. However, if possible, could you upgrade us to WL? My husband and son would just love the theming there and my daughter and I would love that castleview! We are only booked for 3 nights but would so much love to stay there for 6 nights at the same rate! That would be magical! We will need an upper floor room, castleview, non-smoking, bunkbeds, courtyard view, EWP view too! Oh, I just can't wait! Make sure those otters are around too! We also need to be near the food court so we can refill our mugs a lot. Oh, is it ok that we plan to use our old Allstar mugs at WL? Thanks! My darling daughter would like the character caravan to consists of all the princesses and my son would be thrilled to have Peter Pan and Captain Hook. But Hook must hide while darling daughter is around as she would be terrified! And being Flag family each of those 6 mornings is so important to our family. Perhaps you can drive us over to the entrance of the parks each morning as our reward! Cinderella's carraige will be just fine. Thanks you for making this trip magical! It is only the 22nd time we have been there AND this trip will be the anniversary of the 4th trip! So, whatever you can do to make this a celebration of that would be appreciated! Oh, and if we are not happy and our needs are not met , we will notify your superior! Thank you for helping make this trip magical for the 4 of us.
PS- we need you to arrange a ride for us to Yacht Club on the 5th day. Our precious children have always wanted to try out that pool and who are we, as parents, to tell them "No"? I mean this is DISNEY and that is their right! Thanks again!

 

[KaterBell]

To Whom it May Concern,

We'll be arriving at the Grand Floridian by Rolls Royce in approximately one month. We are most certainly looking forward to experiencing the Flagship Resort of Disney! First, however, we would like to make a request or two...

We'd like to ask that all of the peons who don't make as much money as we do could stay on a different level of the resort. We'd also like to request our own monorail cab, if this is possible. If not, we'd accept a Length of Stay Front Cab pass. My reason for asking is that I just don't want our precious children, Buffy and Kenneth, to have to see what it's like to be "unfortunate", if you understand where I'm coming from. We've saved our money for a whole week in order to pay for this trip, and want to make it as great as possible.

My children would also like to request Mickey and Minnie Mouse to join them for a sleepover in the suite. They think that would be "just grand!"

Please make sure that we have an unlimited supply of Fresh Fruit and Crumpets in our room for the entire week. You do not want to see us go through withdrawl. It really isn't quite so pretty.

We'll be looking forward to arriving at the GF and will expect to see all of these requests met.
Thank you,

Ms. Snooty Pants

Dear Mr. Eisner,

I am sending my room request directly to you because as a Disney shareholder (I own 100 shares), I am very important, and my family deserves the BEST.

We are staying at the Poly in May to celebrate our twin's (Walt and Michael) birthday. Since this is such a special occasion, I am counting on you personally to arrange the following:

If you are not using the corporate jet, can you have your pilot pick us up at Newark airport for a direct flight to Orlando? I will let you know what times work best for us. Upon arrival, your driver can whisk us directly to the Poly, where we will be greeted by Roy Disney (after all, what else does he have to do?)

We have a garden view room, but I know that you want little Walt and Michael (we DID name him after you...) to have the best, so we would love to be upgraded to a Lagoon room in concierge with a direct view of Cinderella's castle. (Please remove any of those pesky palm trees before we get there, so we have a clear view). Also, I understand that the rooms at the Poly are a little dark. I will have our decorator forward our vision for the room, so your staff can make the changes before we get there. Also, can you please have housekeeping do something about the stench? After all, little Michael does have asthma (you do know we named him after you...). The boys are looking forward to swimming in the lagoon, and I am sure that once you have the EPA clean it up, it will be perfect for them!

I have also enclosed our list of food/beverage requirements for our stay. I think it is fairly straightforward, but let me know if you have any questions, especially about the wine vintages (we do have such sensitive palates). Thanks also for the complementary park passes. Also, we look forward to meeting the concierge CM who will be assigned to us for the length of our stay. Since he/she is a CM, and knows that he/she has dedicated his/her life to meeting the needs of Disney guests. We look forward to having him/her do our laundry, babysit the boys (the preschool said that they are little terrors, but you know how teachers get...), pack our suitcases, etc.

We do have a few scheduling problems (by the way, it was nice to see the May hours were finally posted on the website). The boys are early risers, so we expect the parks to be open at 7am each day. I noticed that the fireworks will only be displayed once during our stay. Little Walt loves those, so I know you will want to arrange them every night.

Mike, thanks so much! I look forward to seeing you at the annual meeting.

I Deserve-It

Dear AS Movies Room Controller,

We are so excited to be visiting WDW! I have done a lot of research so we can get the most out of our time and money! I've become a regular expert on all things Disney!

I would like to make a small request. We would like to be assigned a room that is within easy walking distance to Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM and AK. I understand we could take the monorail to MK, but since I have a fear of enclosed spaces I prefer not to ride it.

I must have "white noise" while sleeping, so a room close to the monorail platform would be great. I'm sure the sound of the monorail passing through Andy's room would work.

We drew straws and our son, Jeff, won so he gets to say its his birthday this trip. Please have a special surprise waiting for him each day! We want this to be extra special, as he probably won't be taking too many more family vacations with us since he's 25. Oh, don't worry if you don't recognize him on the reservation. He's the one listed as being 17! Ha ha! Lucky for us he's kinda small for his age!

We will need regular "mousekeeping" (see, I told you I was an expert!) but please note on our reservation to just leave extra towels & washcloths on the bed. We'll do without the bathroom being cleaned because we don't want to take a chance on Scruffy being let out. Oh, and if we could have a daily newspaper to spread out on the floor we'd appreciate it. We'll leave the soiled newspapers in the hall each day with the room service tray.

Please help make this trip extra special since I'm sure we won't be able to return for at least 3 months! Thank you and have a Disney day!!

P.S. We were wondering if you could check and see if any celebrities will be staying at your hotel while we're there. We just love "star gazing" and would get a kick out of touring with someone famous! Please e-mail me a copy of their itinerary and we'll see if we can adjust our plans accordingly! Thanks!

 

[tigger'spal]

this is FUNNY

 

[MJS]

These are terrific!

Mario, I laughed out loud when I read your posting, especially the part about the vision for the room and the EPA. Too funny!

 

[100AcreWoodFriend]

Dear AKL Room Controller:

We will be arriving at WDW next month and have heard such wonderful things about your new resort. In fact, some of our friends have suggested we ask for the following requests:

We would like you to arrange to have the animals in the safari stand at our first floor balcony each morning, so we can pet them. We also understand that you arrange for the father lion and his cub to put on a private performance of "Circle of Life" directly in front of our balcony as well. That would be lovely, but please ask Mufasa to roar lightly, as I'm sure we'll be hung over from hanging out at the bar the night before.

We would also like to have the whole cast from the "Tarzan Live", performed AK to come do a private performance for us. Please see we get a room large enough to accommodate all the actors, we'd hate to make anyone work under cramped working conditions or anything.

Also, please make sure the mini-bar you're going to upgrade free of charge for us is filled with animal treats, so we can feed the animals any time we'd like from our first floor balcony. Since you must have tamed and defanged the lions and tigers, this shouldn't be a problem, right?

Finally (and thank you so much for helping us out with all these requests!), I'd like to request our bottled water come straight from Africa. I mean, if we're going to enjoying the world of Africa, we may as well have the full experience!

Thanks so much and see you soon!

[eeyore0062]

How fun!!! here goes... and I hope that no one ever has to get a request like this!

Dear Room Controller,
We are so excited to be staying at the Grand Flordian this summer for a month. We have a few requests and expect that they will all be cheerfully met, as you are "the Happiest Place on Earth".

1) Non smoking...this is not an option... very allergic... can't be in the same building as a smoker, so all areas that we enter must be free of smokers and ionized, as well!

2) Connecting rooms... we want Darling Deirdre to have access to our room, but have her own privacy... she will need all of that room for all of the plush animals she will get on the trip---she wants one of every character. I am sure you can help us with that by having them delivered to our room prior to our arrival. I just can't wait to see Darling Deirdre's face!!! Make sure to have a photographer there to capture the moment... thanks! Perhaps you could use that in one of your planning videos!

3) a Fridge, an iron, an ironing board, a hair dryer, oh, and a mini bar, complimentary, of course... we know you treat your long staying guests like family.

4) no rain the entire time we are there--no exceptions.

5) a view of the Cinderella's castle uninhibited by trees... cut them down, if you must!

6) birds chirping at our windows in the morning to awaken us. We want Darling Deirdre to feel as if she is really Cinderella.

7) a visit by Mickey and Minnie to escort us personally to the Magic Kingdom. Oh, and can you see if the Wedding Chappel will lend us the use of Cinderella's coach... I am sure they won't be needing it that early in the morning.

8) a sailboat reserved just for our use at all times during our stay. Donald and I just LOVE to sail!

9) oh, and could you raise the temp of the pools to 85 degrees?Darling Deirdre gets chilled very easily! Must be something to do with that blue blood???

10) guaranteed 1st seating at Cinderella's Royal Table... and have ALL of the princesses there. Oh, and we will be needing your most expensive Princess gown and all of the accessories delivered to our room the previous day. Thanks!

11) access to maid service at all times of the day or night. You see Darling Deirdre has a problem with (well, it embarrasses me to mention it, but ...bedwetting) and we will need a complete change of linens, and for the maid to straighten out all of her stuffed animals so they are neat and comfortable for the night.

12)And could you contact the Fairy Godmothers to send a sitter to stay with the animals? Darling Deirdre just won't have a good time if she thinks they are being left in the room by themselves.

13) sound proofing between the rooms... we are light sleepers, you know and need our beauty rest! In fact, perhaps you can ensure that no one stays next to us, above us, or below us? I am sure that won't be a problem, since we have read that attendence is down, as is occupancy in your resorts. Our staying a whole month will help, I am sure!

14) Our room service served precisely at 7 am every morning, so we can make sure we arrive at the parks extra early...
which brings me to...

15) door to door service from your resort to all of the parks, waiting for us whenever we desire. We have already been in touch with Tiffany Limo, and they were gracious enough to give us a complimentary upgrade. I am sure that you would not mind granting us a complimentary upgrade to concierge... then the mini bar, iron, ironing board and hair dryer will already be in the rooms.

16) Park Family in all of the parks at least once for each of us. We so would love to ride through the Magic Kingdom all day in one of those quaint little vehicles you have there. It would save us from walking... Darling Deirdre gets so tired, you know!

17) and of course, access to the parks prior to any of the other guests... on the days that we aren't the park family, of course!

We are paying good money for this trip, and know that we will have a fabulous time !!!!

Looking forward to our stay at your fine establishment.

Sincerely,
Got A. Problem, Esq.

Dear Mr. Room Controller,

My family and I are arriving at WDW on April 26, 2002. We would like to be assigned a standard view room at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, which is exactly what we booked through CRO. I know this is a lot to ask, but if there is any way you could fulfill this outrageous request my family and I would greatly appreciate it. We would also like to be charged the same rate we were quoted over the phone when we made our reservation.

Sincerely,
Mrs. S. C. Rewd

Dear Ms Room Controller,

We are so excited to be staying at the Polynesian! We noticed on our last trip that it seems the trees have grown a bit in the last decade, and it inhibits our view. Since we are paying a premium rate for a lagoon view, we would appreciate the tree problem be taken care of prior to our arrival.

Because we vacation at WDW for the diverse experiences, we are hoping the staff will be from Polynesia. We don't speak Polynesian, but it is important to expose ourselves to as many cultures as possible. We even plan on having chow mein while we are in the World.

Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this matter. I'm sure you, along with all of the cast members, will ensure our vacation is full of magic.

Dear Resort Coordinator,

My family will be making our 7th trip to Disneyland in Florida in June. We are very excited to have reservations at the Caribbean Beach. But we have become concerned for all those people that have been kicked out of all the resorts that you have demolished in the last 6 months.
I am writing to you to volunteer our room to one of these mis-placed families. In return, we would graciously accept a quiet suite at the Grand Floridian. If all you have available is a conciege room with a view of the castle, well that would be fine also. We really want to do our part to help out those poor folks that were not able to stay in at the resort of thier choice.
In return for our gracious offering to give up our room, there are a few requests. I am sure you would have no trouble with these since this is DISNEY.

Of Course....we would like Prince Charming to be waiting to carry our bags to the room as soon as we arrive. I have heard you now have characters working at all the resorts (isn't it called the Caravan of Characters??), so this should be a simple request.
Minnie is welcome to clean our room each day, it will keep her from getting bored as Mickey escorts us to all the parks.
Since Pluto is my DD favorite, she plans on bringing our dog's leash so that Pluto can also join us.

I also heard that you now have a special deal that is called "Going to the front of the Line". I also understand it is a perk since we will be staying at a WDW resort. I am very excited about that!!

Will all the characters be waiting for us at the front of the line for all the rides?? That would truely be a "Magical" experience!!

Boy I am just so excited about all the improvements that have been implemented since we last visited. Especially the fact we can now enter the parks at any time of day or night with our annual passes.

Oh, one last thing......My sister's bother-in-law's cousin's grandmother's sister's best friend's is a Cast Member at a Disney Store in Alaska. I was told if I gave you her name I could get her discount on all the merchandise I bought and 50% off all our meals. That is just fantastic.

Boy, we are really looking forward to this trip.
See you at the Castle

Thank you.

 

[the Legend]

Dearest Room Controller:

We look forward to our stay at the All-Star Sports and hoping you can fulfil the following requests for us.

1> We would like a top-floor, pool-view, non-smoking, cleaned-often, vegetarian, politically-correct, air-conditioned, sun-facing, self-supporting rooms that are maintained when Im there by people who cannot see the do-not-disturb tag on the doorhandle.

2> Could you please put me next to the loudest family at the All-Star with Parents that consistantly argue, have 8 kids who do not sleep regular hours and love to run pass knocking on our door and hiding at all hours.

3> Our vacation would not be complete if you did not put us in the same building as the visiting Cheerleadering squads who are here for the World loudest Cheer Competition at the Wide World of Sport. Could you please ensure that they train all hours of the night and show total disregards for me and other non-Cheer patrons.

3a> As I need the exercise, could you make it that our room is the furtherest from the Buses, Food, Pool, Civilisation etc as possible.

4> Could you arrange it so none of the Buses I want to take ever arrive on time. My All-Star experience will not be the same if I wasn't 30 minutes late for at least 2 of my PS's.

5> Also could you arrange it so we always have one of two types of Bus driver. The Rookie, who has no idea where he's going and gives me several near-death experiences as we cross several lanes to make U-turn back to the turnoff we missed. And the Guy whos former job was Test Driver at the Richard Petty Experience.

6> Because I am a people person, could you arrange that all Foodcourt meals and Bus rides are with people with accents I cant understand, that smell funny and look at me like Im an Axe Murderer or Lunch.

7> Also could you arrange it so that the Smokers smoke everywhere but the designate areas. Nothing says All-Star more than that smell of early morning smoke coming down the balcony as Mousekeeping opens my room door ignoring my do-not-disturb tag hanging on the handle.

8> Could you arrange it so I can have a louder TV than the family next door?

9> Could you also arrange it so that no matter what time I arrive there will be at least a 1 hour wait for check in.

One day I only hope I can repay you in kind.
My most sincere regards,
The Legend

 

[confal1]

Dear Room Controller,
I am sure that you get plenty of requests for rooms but please put mine first. This will be my husbands first trip to Disney World and I would like to make it as memorable as possible. Now I realize that we are coming during Thanksgiving Weekend and we did book the cheapest room possible ( my husband was recently laid off) but with this being his first trip ever please upgrade us to a suite. We would really appreciate this. Now in regards to location we would like to be upgraded from our parking lot view to a view of the lake, preferably on the top floor so that we can see the fireworks and not have any small children running above us. We would also appreciate any and all credits that you could comp. us so that you may enjoy your delightful spa. I understand that we may not get everything we are asking for but please also keep in mind that we live on Cape Cod and anything you can do for us would be reciprocated if you are ever visiting the Cape. Thank you for your time and we look forward to seeing you when we check in. Oh by the way when we check in we would prefer to do what I have heard of as a "conceriage check in". Please have a representative from the hotel meet us at the gate so we won't have to wait in line. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Sincerely Disney Family

Dear All Stars room controller,

Our much awaited family vacation is just around the corner so I would like to make a few requests for during our stay. It has been 3 years since this family has had the opportunity for a vacation due to military obligations. We have spent the last 3 years in a country filled with collapsed buildings and sewage filled canals. Italy is such a horrible place to stay. We are eager to visit Epcots depiction of Italy where the statues actually move. The ones in the real Italy just sit there and some don't even have heads! Can you believe that? And some don't even have clothes! Not exactly the place you can take a family for an outing. Some of us do have standards! Sorry to get off topic, but this is why we need a Disney vacation. I am just very excited about this upcoming trip. With hubby about to leave for a 14 month deployment, you can understand our dire need for a magical experience. I hope you can also understand my husbands need for an experience much like sea life to get him prepared for the months ahead. I know we originally booked a room with you, but the swimming pool is just not enough water for dear hubby to look at. He needs much more. IS it possible for us to have a complimentary upgrade to the Grand Floridian so that he can be completely surrounded by water? We would need a room high up (like the top floor) as if he is standing on the flightdeck of an aircraft carrier looking at the never ending sea. We will not be able to spend the remaining holidays for this year as a family, so could you arrange for mousekeeping to decorate our room a different holiday each day during our stay? That includes our birthdays and anniversary, so could you maybe throw that in too? Oh, and one more thing.......could you arrange with customer relations to extend the military promotion for those free and 50% off tickets since that darn ship is currently out to sea and obviously we can't take advantage of that offer. I'm sure it won't be a problem. Thanks in advance. Almost forgot, can we use our EuroDisney Dollars at WDW Florida? They said we could last year when we went, but I just wanted to make sure. Promise I only have one more request.........my favorite character as a child was Tinkerbelle. IS it possible for you to arrange for her to fly from the top of the castle to the balcony of my room just one night after the MK closes? (would we be able to see the fireworks from that angle?) That is the only thing I request. Hubby requests the other stuff, so that way it does not seem like I am asking too much. Once again, we are so excited to finally be going on a family vacation after all these years stuck in such a deteriorated country. Your assistance in making our once in a lifetime dream vacation a reality would be appreciated.

Sincerely

Mrs Gotta Havit

....laughing!!

Here's mine. All true, from various trips:

Dear CRO:

I'm looking for a magical stay so, could the following be arranged? I would like to be given a room key that works when I arrive at POR at 2 in the morning and am assigned a room as far from check-in as possible. When the CM brings the new key, 40 minutes later (sleeping child on the ground amidst suitcases), I would appreciate not being glared at.

I would appreciate it if the CM manning the store at the Poly would not complain to my husband for walking in to buy rolaids fifteen minutes before closing time. We were unaware we walked in during unofficial closing.

Would you please ask the PO-FQ lifeguard not to yell at my 5-year old daughter who can't help twisting on the way down the dragon slide? She is extremely light and cannot help that the little bit of current running down the slide twists her. She is not going in head-first; I am standing right there at the end of the slide - it is really not necessary to yell at her. I assure you, she is not trying to undermine your authority <bowing>.

Now, here's the flip side .....

Please thank the smiling CM at Coronado Springs who assigned us the greatest room at the Cabanas.

You've probably heard it a million time...but, I'm so appreciative of the way the maids arrange my childrens' toys. Simba - holding the remote and wearing my sunglasses - was the best.

Sorry my husband and I both lay on the CBR hammock at the same time and, <ahem> strained the ropes.

 

[Tluvs2talk]

the Legend,
I laughed the whole time I read your request. We had a similiar experience at All Star Movie's. We didn't even have to request it....

 

[the Legend]

Hi Tluvs ...

I know ... this request was the downside of last years holiday. Fortunately for us, the upside was a hundredfold better!

Plus, I thought my request would be light relief for some the kissy-kissy ones of late.

Plus, Im assuming we've all got a sense of humour, right?

 

[GoofyDisney]

Pssst....Room Controller...over ere.

Howyoudoin? Yeah, I gotta aks you a question. You see, I got my family comin in ere to this Disneyworld thing, and I would REALLYAPPRECIATE it if you could make a couple liddle things happen.

First, I am gonna need the best rooms you got at the best hotel with the best view of that castle for Maria and the kids. Then of course mama's gonna need her own room. She don't sleep so good since Papa passed away, Godresthissoul, so it needs to be very quiet.

Seond, I am gonna need the best steak you got, prepared just the way I like it every night. Also I need a quiet table in the back of the swankiest joint, cause you see I got some friends comin to see me and I gotta do a liddle business. And whatever you do...don't aks me about my business you....(cursing in Sicilian)

And thirdly, I don't wanna wait in no freakin line. You hear me. None of this standin around for my five boys.

Now, you think you can handle dat? You see ere, I'm making you an offer you can't refuse.

(the sound or ruffling bills) No, go on take it. Its just a liddle token of my appreication. Fuggedaboutit.
