POR Room Request - Please help

[ratcatshell]

I recently booked POR with the river view category. I requested to be in the AB area. I really don't like the Mansions part of POR (based on internet pictures) and I know that AB is just a request. Looking at the map of POR it appears that most of the river view is the preferred rooms in AB and the mansions. Would I have a better chance of getting AB if I requested a garden view room? It would appear there are more garden view rooms than river view in AB. I didn't want to book preferred because it might be a view of the parking lot and being close really doesn't matter to me. We are a family of 3 adults. Your thoughts? (we are going December 9 - 14)

I would post this question in the POR facts thread. Andre over there is an expert at all things POR.

This is funny- I'm hoping for the opposite I really want mansions and have been trying to figure out a way to ensure that I get them. I started to book Riverview, since like you said- most are in mansions or in preferred rooms (which we wouldn't get if we didn't book.) I ended up with garden view because I'm cheap ;-) I had my TA put in a request for the mansions. I plan on sending a fax before check-in to request it as well.

I think all of the rooms in AB have the trundle bed. So, families of 5 are given priority.
