Previous post about check-in

I had read the previous post about the nightmare check-in at VWL. Does anyone have any recommendations? I requested the non-smoking room...due to my and my daughter's allergies..but never thought to say it was medical. Just assumed we would get it, since staying in WDW prior to membership with no problems. What is the best way to check in? We are due early Sunday but wanted to head to Tampa for the day to see dgma and dgpa then head back around 4p. Should we stop at BWV prior to heading west in the early morning?? Would that make a differnce with room assignments?
THanks,

Yes you should check in first before going to Tampa. At that time, point out why it's important to have the NS room. When they give you the number to call back with (assuming you don't get a room right away), call back and when they give you the room number ask to make sure that it is NS.

I'm sure it will work out for you.

I would call member servcies and tell them to add non-smoking for medical reasons. BWV tends to pre-assign rooms, your room maybe assigned before you get there.

Another vote to call MS and add the request to the reservation now.

FWIW, we've always received our non-smoking request at BWV - been staying once or twice a year since 2000. We just ask for non-smoking (nothing added re medical because our request is just a strong preference and not a medical need). Anyway, I'm just trying to ease your mind.

If it wouldn't be horribly out of your way, go ahead and check in before you go to Tampa so you don't have to worry about it all day.

Best wishes -

Call them now but still check in first before going to Tampa. That way you will make sure.
