POFQ online checkin

[sseely40851]

I know this information is available somewhere, but anyway...
When I do online checkin 10 days in advance of arriving, can i select a building/floor/room? What do you think about ground floor rooms? I would never get one in a motel, because of cars, noise, etc. I am thinking 2nd floor.
Any thoughts?

If you have requests, they should be on your reservation. You cannot make requests at online check-in.

Online check-in allows you to indicate a time of arrival, so they can try to give you an available room(just might not be the one you are looking for), and place a cc on account for charging.

You need to call CRO and have any requests attached to your reservation. Do not wait; ressies are rolled over to the resort about 3 - 6 days before arrival, when room assignments are done.

If you have more than one request, I would forgo online check-in. They will give you the first available room and it may not be to your liking. To have them look for another room and have to re-run your cards takes time and sort-of defeats the purpose. Therefore, it is best to forgo online check-in.

Regarding requesting floors. You have to remember that while pretty much everyone who checks into a motel will have a car, many people have no transportation at Disney. They rely solely on ME and transportation on-site. The parking lot sides can actually be very, very quiet.

At the mods, you will hear the toilets flushing on any floor; they have the flushes almost like you hear on cruise lines. They are very fast though.

Other than that, unless you have a person bouncing a basketball on the floor above you or someone has the TV on too loud, you don't usually hear very much above or below you. It is only next to you.

Now, some people do request higher floors, not so much for the noise. It is more for the "critters."

Yep; POR and POFQ are very lushly landscaped, so they do have critters. Anywhere from squirrels, butterflys, lizards to the occassional snake from time to time.

I don't mind being on first floor, but some people prefer it, after they have had an experience of coming back from the parks and finding a lizard in their room.

A few years ago, we got a great deal at SSR, but they have patios and are very close to the Sassgagoula River. I requested upper floor, since they have patio doors. I just had this vision of opening the door up around 2 am and staring right at a snake. I love going outside in the middle of the night, but you have to be careful sometimes.

I just completed online checkin for POFQ yesterday. If you have not indicated specific requested when you reserved the room, you will have two choices you can select - close to transportation and first floor. If you made request when you reserved your room, the system will not allow to select these choices since PORQ already has what you requested (for example Bldg., 2nd floor, connecting rooms, etc.). I confirmed this by phone yesterday with Disney since I could not make any additional request online checkin. I was instructed IN RED at the top of the page to call the number provided.
