I called yesterday afternoon. ( POR direct.) My reservation was downloaded into the system on Friday.

I put in my request. I asked was there any chance of getting 2 particular rooms.

The CM came back and said..."those are water niew rooms" and there will be an extra charge. The rooms we requested are 2757 in AB and 9239 in Mansions.

She said the rooms will be available and that I could pay the $200 difference at check in. ( Our ressie is paid in full.)

She then said...." you know what , can you hold a minute...SURE."

She came back and said...."I see you guys have stayed here MANY times and your reservation is paid in full."

There will be NO CHARGE for the water view upgrade.

I have heard people say they fax their request. But CRO told me to call POR directly because the resort is the one who assigns the rooms.

For those interested....call 5 days before you arrive. Thats when you reservations gets downloaded. At that point , its out of CRO's hands and in the hands of the resort.

YEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

3 MORE DAYS.

I'm glad to hear that loyalty is still rewarded. Have a great time!:wave2:
 

Just wandered why you requested that paricular AB room. We are planning a stay in Nov. for the first time and wondered what building we should request. What building is this and what is it located near? Thanks and Congrats. on the upgrade hope you have a great trip!
 
Congratulations! Glad it worked out for you!

We are getting a water view and are paying for it. I was hoping we could change as we get closer, or is a water view worth it? I was wondering what exactly the view is?!?!
 
In 2002 we were upgraded to a water view. The room was on the Mansion side...#9239. It was wonderful. Second floor corner. You look out your window or door and there is the Marina.

Last year, we were in room #2764 in AB. Corner room. The reason we got that room was because they first put us in a handicap room in #14. We went back to the front desk and said we wanted a tub and not a shower stall and it would be unfair for us to have this type of room when someone else could use it THAT NEEDED it.

#2764 is classfied as a water view but it was more of a swamp view.

EVERY day last year...we past by room #2757. It too is a corner room and when you look out the window you are looking at the water wheel and a clear view straight down the Sassagoula River.

IMO....those are the best two room locations at POR as far as waterview. I am sure there are others...but those are the 2 we have stayed in.

So hopefully....they were not pulling my chain and we will get one of those 2 rooms Wednesday. If not, thats okay too.

So we are prepared for the best and worst.....but at least we will be in WDW.


YEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 
Congrats & enjoy your upgrade! Please post a trip report when you get back. We are supposed to stay here next year, but I am still on the fence about it(transportation posts).

Let us know,
