Many times to WDW, but this will be our first trip to FW cabins (and boy are we excited for something different than the Villas!). Typically, it's recommended that you don't make your room request until close to your reservation; does the same hold true with FW, or should I call asap?

Thanks all you FW pros for your advice!
 
We always put ours in with the original reservation. Some people fax it in about a week before also.
 
Yeah......I've heard the rule of thumb is to fax it in 5 days prior. Now, I've gotten to where I don't do online check in.....DH will drop me and the kids off at check in, he goes to unhook the trailer and unload the golf cart and I'll go in and make sure we're in the loop we want. I have NEVER gotten the exact sites I've requested, but always get the loop. And, I like to ask for the AAA discount if I haven't been able to get it prior......
 

Also! Ice! Is there a location to get ice to fill our cooler? And does it cost money?
 
you can buy bags of ice at the trading posts or at the comfort centers. Last I recall, a bag at the CC's was $2.00. Bring lots of quarters, they are coin operated
 
So what is the best loop location?

Since you're in the cabins, I wouldn't stress out about which loop. I see people go crazy researching each loop in the different categories and there are very few "bad" sites and even less "bad" loops. I think we've stayed in all the cabin loops and all the premium loops......and a few of the preferred loops......they're all great.

I guess if you're not renting a golf cart, you may or may not want to be near the pool or the bus stop, but really.......all the cabin loops are fairly accessible to everything.
