stinkerbell-thanks for OC site & advice, even 14 years ago I had the feeling I was being "fleeced"...still, just to sink my tootsies in the sand is priceless.
cynd - I'm stretching my points & thus far have settled for a mear studio...afraid if I do book a 1 BR, I'll never be satisfied to go back to smaller unit. DH would throttle me if I added on more points.

As for your requests, I think you have a great chance of getting most, if not all, of your of them. They're used to room requests, especially @ DVC units. IMO, it's better to call a few days ahead of time & re-confirm what you'd like. Are you using ME, it's rumoured that those guests get assigned rooms first, they do use a "room ready" system @ DVC (1st available room etc.) At least in the studios, many are dismayed with the mess their kiddos make in the HA showers (if you don't need them for wc access). Youngest DS was in a transport chair last Dec. & I was pleased with how barrier free most of WDW is. The buildings near the main pool/check-in tend to be requested. We've never stayed there yet but, the buildings near the back; around golf course look great to me. Their studios are the only ones w/2 "real" beds, all the others have a sofa bed.
