Is it too soon to FAX the requested site info?

[Comptech]

Hi,
We will be arriving at FW on May 17th. Is it too soon to FAX our request for a particular loop and site area? What do you experts think?

I fax my loop request in the day before we leave, which would be 2 days before we arrive. This is just a reminder, since I make my loop request at the time of reservation. Site assignments are made the day of your arrival, so faxing too soon would not serve any purpose, and in fact increases the likelihood it will be lost.

We were told 4-5 days prior to arrival (max) is the way to go. Something about the way this information is collected and given to the person doing the site assignments.

Our m.o. is to make sure our request is noted on our ressie, and then fax in about 4 days before we arrive. Worked like a charm so far, but we also go during the slower weeks of early Dec.

Good luck!

Ok great I will wait.... Although it is going to be very hard to wait...

Yes, I have heard that the Fort doesn't receive any information about your reservation until 5 days before your arrival, so waiting until 4 days before allows them to mate your fax to your reservation... as I understand it.

I've been looking back trying to find the loop request form that was made, and I can't find it. Can someone please post it for me?

Thanks in advance!!
