Please keep in mind.....you can request a specific room, but, that is all it is.....a request. Also, 5th floor at VWL does not have an open atrium to the lobby below. That area is an enclosed CM area on the 5th floor (which is the top floor). It seems everytime we stay at VWL (which is our home resort) the only request I make is upper floor (now that everything is nonsmoking) and we always get 5th......so for our January trip I requested either 3rd or 4th floor because without the open atrium the main hallway on 5th seems very closed in and dark.
