Help me with GF room request!

[mggeary]

Hi guys. Will be staying at the GF for the first time in January. There for a conference with a discounted rate, so assuming they will default me to standard room at Sago Cay unless I make a request.

Will be there with wife and kids (ages 2-8). Thinking of requesting a room in Big Pine Key or Boca Chica with an unobstructed pool view (i.e not behind that big building near the pool). Is this a reasonable request? Pool view would be nice (its not an upgraded category right?). Everything seems pretty close to main building, Gasparilla, and transportation.

Any advice would be great. Not interested in upgrading to better views or club.

I think your request is a good one and you are correct that a pool view is a standard garden view and is not an upgraded category. With that said, I think all of the outer buildings are nice, but my two favorites are Big Pine Key and Boca Chica as both have pretty views of the courtyard pool and are close to the main building, beach pool, and Gasparillas. If you are assigned a room in BPK that has a view of the back of the pool house, you can always ask if there is a room available on a higher floor as Disney is very accommodating and will change your room if another one that meets your requests is available. Have a great trip and enjoy the GF .
