Odds of getting upgrade from Coronado standard room to Destino Tower in early March?

[BigOHawk]

Roll of the dice? Unlikely or don't even ask? Is it best just to skip online check-in and inquire at front desk?

I would call today if you are really wanting a Tower room.

You should ask on the resorts thread, I’m sure they may have much better information.

If you want a Tower room call and pay for the category you want. At the desk they will tell you cost you will need to pay for an upgrade. It won’t be free
Especially during spring break time

I’ve never tired but I’m pretty sure if you ask it’s definitely not going to happen. I’ve been upgraded with better views at different resorts but it was random and always when I checked in online. I always love a good story where someone randomly gets upgraded to a one bedroom or club level but I don’t think there is any strategy to it. Definitely price it out and see if it’s something you can swing. Those rooms look very nice.

all things considered, GDT Is better than the following: imho

Wilderness Lodge
Riviera Resort
every other Moderate and less than Moderate (Except POFQ)
SSR
OKW

There’s really no telling when a CM will decide to give an upgrade, but it is usually because of some special celebration, to address a guest inconvenience, or when a guest is particularly kind to a CM. You don’t get upgrades by asking for them (unless you plan to pay).

Almost 99.999% chance of not getting that upgrade. If you want to be in the tower you should book a standard room in the tower as others have indicated above.

Everyone is celebrating some special occasion- so saying it’s an anniversary,birthday, etc will likely get a congratulations rather than pixie dust (this goes for restaurants too). Even when on reservations they ask if you are celebrating- they just out a note on reservation. It’s not because they plan something special.
Advice always is book the room you want- if you want to upgrade at checkin ask. Especially in Covid times it probably even harder with reduced respect capacity.

Unlikely.
But if you do ask, report back.

I don’t think it would really matter if you did online check in or not.
You’d have to speak to someone anyways.

Good to know thanks!

I Doubt it!! That resort is HUGE, I'm sure there will be plenty of standard rooms available. You could ask nicely for a room with a nice view when checking in. That might get you a little better location, but probably not in the tower.

Generally speaking, complimentary upgrades only happen out of the resort's operational needs and not because they want to spread pixie dust. However, if you're willing to pay for an upgrade and there is availability, that is something they can quote you and switch you to at check in.

I think all check in is virtual or in the tower these days. We have stayed at both and just booked the tower again for March.

Disney has changed their policy in this area, I think. Cast members have less discretion. And, with cleaning protocols it probably won't happen. For us the tower is worth the extra expense. You could get a water view instead of the parking lot view in the casitas but since they are not selling out and have lots of rooms, probably not.

 

[Devil13]

Tower is definitely worth the upgrade cost

I booked a standard room, cheapest possible rate with Disney visa. Checked in online. Just arrived and got our notification our room is ready. 15th floor, club level.

That is great you got upgrade to high floor, unexpected and not asked did! Too bad the CL amenities aren’t available. Enjoy your trip

I was trying to see if any of the club level stuff was open. Bummer, but a great view! We are water side.

All club level is closed with all the Covid restrictions.
You had booked a room the tower correct?
