POR Room Request...

[tjknitz]

My first time staying at POR and we were able to book FD with a Preferred Room (which is fantastic because I wanted to make sure we were staying in the Alligator Bayou). I do have some questions though....do any of the Preferred locations have a view of the parking lot? Also, when it comes time to do my online check-in, I've heard that you have an option to request certain rooms (I realize not all requests can be honored, but at least I can do something), can I request a pool side room in the preferred category? Should I call Disney today and have them put that request on my reservation?

Some rooms may have to face a parking lot, but 20+ years of landscape p ing growth means you won't be staring at a parking lot - if, indeed, you either gaze out you'll r window or use the shared walkway as a balcony).
Yes, call and add requests, and no, even the online check in doesn't allow requesting certain rooms. It's far more general than that.

The POR resort thread has a map which shows the location of each of the buildings. You can use it to decide what building/ room to request.. Specific requests like this should be phoned in. On line check in requests are limited to a few predetermined selections.

Congratulations! We loved having a Preferred POR room last September. As others mentioned, some preferred rooms face the parking lot direction, but you will mainly see landscaping. Another factor to consider in your requests is whether you have a preference regarding first or second floor. We liked not having to deal with stairs, but some find second floor to be quieter. Whichever your preference is, you can mention that when you call in your requests as well. Enjoy!

Ideally I would love a riverview - that is the only 'request' I would have. It would be great if it was a building 14 Riverview....LOL
