OKW Questions - Thermostats and Fax #

[kfields1]

What buildings are now equipped with the new thermostats that you can't set? My DH and I HATE to be hot, especially when sleeping and need to be able to control the AC.

Also, what is the fax # for the room controller at OKW?

Thanks for the info.

You can set all thermostats at OKW. Buildings 11-29 have new ones, but you can still set them. They are not activated by motion detectors.

The resort fax # is 1-407-827-7710 , but you'll probably have better success calling MS to have your room requests added to the reservation.

I have been a lurker for quite some time now. This subject has always been a sensitive one for me, having been a former OKW room assignor. I want to assist everyone here by informing you the way faxes and excessive requests are really dealt with.

Requests given at the time reservations are made are more than sufficient. If you do not receive your requests by doing this, it is because the room you have requested is not available and is currently occupied by another member/guest OR the room you requested is available, but is reserved for another person arriving the same day who has more booking seniority.

Those guests/members that cause enough of a scene in the lobby are occasionally given a room they did not deserve because it was taken from someone who did deserve it. This is a managers choice to make.

Faxing/excessive calling prior to arrival angers room assignors. This is the way NOT to get your requests. There are enough things to occupy an 8 hours shift without having to read a specific plea as to why someone needs a particular room. These faxes might get a glance, but no preference is given to these people.

Hope this helps. Being sort of an insider I will try to post assitance whenever I can.

Well, kind of takes away the "Disney Magic", but I can understand the room assigner's delimmas. I just usually put in my requests as just that - requests if possible, not demands. Hopefully most of the assigners take them in the spirit that they were meant and not look at them as demands.

Thanks for the great info!
