We are going to OKW in July and I know that not every building has an elevator, I would like to send a request to be on the first floor or a building with an elevator. When should I fax my request.

I already made this request when I made the reservation, but I'd like to send a fax as well.

Thank you.
 
If you made the request then I don't think a fax is necessary. But fax it at any time you like. Rooms are assigned less than a week before arrival.

Don't bother sending a fax to OKW. DVC has told members not to bother with faxes at the DVC resorts since they usually just toss them out. Just make sure your request is on your reservation. If you need first floor for medical needs, like a scooter, just add that.

Thanks for the info. I did request first floor for my scooter. Looking forward to OKW.

Did you request first floor because you know you will have a scooter? Or did you specify in your request that you need first floor due to a scooter? In other words, did u tell disney about the scooter?

I really appreciate everyone's help.

When I made my reservation with the CM I told her that I realized OKW did not have elevators in all of the buildings and I told her that since I have mobility issues and that I use a scooter, I needed either first floor or a building with an elevator. She was very pleasant and said she was noting it in my reservation.

Thanks again.

Then most likely you are good to go. Call back in the week leading up to your trip and confirm the note is on your reservation. Not to be repetitive, but don't fax them. 99.9% chance it never gets read by anyone. The fax has gone the way of the dinosaur.
 
And when you arrive at the resort, if the room you're assigned doesn't suit your needs, it's perfectly ok to go to the front desk and let them know that you really need a first floor room or a building with an elevator because of mobility issues. They will do their very best to get you into a room that works for you.
 
We stayed at OKW in2015. I used the fax service offered on Touring Plans website. I got the exact location I requested at Turtle Pond.
