Room Requests

[Nancy1801]

This will be my first stay at a Disney Resort (BWV) as a DVC member. In the past, when planning a stay at any of the other Disney resorts, I had always faxed a letter to the Room Controller approx. 4 days prior to our arrival date requesting certain things (room with a balcony, room on 1st floor, etc.). When staying with DVC points, can I still do that? And if so, then to whom do I fax my request letter? the same room controller that I would have sent any other resort stay request?

You can do that, but I'm not convinced it matters.

In general, it's my understanding that room requests get serviced in the following order:

By date - oldest reservations first
HCA for medical reasons
Smoking preference
All other requests

The best thing is to note the requests that you have when you make the reservation.

I got the impression on this board that Disney only attached 2 of your requests to the reservation. For example I requested second floor, non-smoking and a particular building area. The agent took my requests, but when I got the paperwork only the non-smoking and the second floor requests were put on the paperwork. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I just got my confirmation for VWL. I made 3 requests - non smoking, upper floor and pool/lodge view. Only the first two were on the confirmation letter.

non-smoking
ground floor - medical
