It all started last year, when we decided we wanted to spend more time at the resort and less time in the parks. Our favorite resort is PO. So, we decided to pay the additional cost over a value resort. My first reservation was room only, standard view. When the discounts became available, the only thing I could book was a garden view. Fine. I'll go with that and still save some money. Then one night I was playing on line and found a standard room was available, with the discount. I called the next morning, 6am cst, and changed my reservation. Great, I'm saving more money. I requested a refurbished room with two windows and an upper floor. Since the resort was undergoing refurbishment, I didn't want to get put in one of the remaining unfinished rooms. I was hoping for a bayou room that was just finished. If that wasn't going to happen, my hope was building 80. So we arrive, I'm expecting a parking lot view. It's what I paid for. The CM at check in did not go out of her way to explain my accomodations, just the room number I had. My location was not building 35 or 26, that was just finished. It was building 80. Great. That was my next choice, due to the proximity of pools. Oh, the suspense.

Maybe the OP got upgraded to the Royal Guest room! ...and have the river view!

EDIT TO ADD: Someone just mentioned that it isn't a Royal room. So maybe the OP got the river view corner room! : )

I love when that happens!

Building 80 is not Royal Rooms so I'm guessing river view upgrade.

Everyone is making me . Checking my blog won't help, because I have not updated it lately.

Now, back to the story. I like to talk with a CM, in case there is a problem with room selection. That is why, I don't do online checkin. Unimpressed with the CM's help with the room location, we make the trek to find our room. We only know it is building 80, so we follow the signs. Taking the long way around and climbing to the third floor, luggage in tow, we finally reach our room. I have to go now. I need to get outside and continue with my goal of staying tan for six months, but that's another story.
