Help with AKV online check in request

[eeyoresmom]

We have a standard view studio booked at AKV Jambo next week. I went to do on line check in and it offers requests for all the savannas. I thought standard view at Jambo were all pool view (except for the rare partial view savanna)? Confused now and not sure what to put in for requests. I get the near elevator/ lobby but not the savanna...........

The online requests are known to not be DVC friendly. You are better off making your request with MS.

I second this. The one time I did OLCI and room requests via the web we got none of our requests which were rectified at check in as my mom is disabled. I know they are only requests but we just asked for lower floor near lobby but ended up right at the end of the zebra trail on the top floor. Pushing a wheelchair that far is no fun after a long day. Always phone MS a few days before check in as we were told they do not allocate rooms till 48 hrs before. Never had an issue since. Not picky and as a family request higher floor near lobby or elevator

I made no requests, hoping to get first available room ready as we are arriving around noon.

That's an even better idea. Requests on line do not match what the room really is. Offering a savannah view when the room is a standard is a good example of it.

Same for us! The only time I made a request it took a very long time to get our room, beyond the 4:00 check-in time. I'd rather just have a room!!!
