We ask for it often, but keep in mind, while at the WL in Feb. this year, hubby asked at the front desk the morning of, as we have done in the past, and was told the new policy is that you have to call housekeeping and request it from them. We did and got a 1:00 PM checkout, no problem. Not sure if this is only the WL policy or new property wide. We have never been turned down whenever we have asked and that is from the All Stars to the CR & AKL.
