Room Requests

That’s funny - we pretty much always get what we request at BWV (upper floor as far from the lobby as possible).

LOL, I think it’s the request to be “as far from the lobby as possible” that does it! I’m sure they get many more requests for “close to elevators”!

That's why you get what you want.

Was just going to say this, mine would say near lobby

I suspect there are very few people trying to walk even further from the lobby a few times a day!

We made the opposite request last summer when we stayed at BWV and they told us they could grant the request but if we wanted a room early it would be out towards the wing….we took the early room and probably added an extra 1500-2000 steps a day.

I guess I can see how it would make sense if you are mostly going to DHS or taking the bus?

We’re well past the theme park commando stage of our WDW visits. We find these rooms to be much quieter, and on the BW view side to have much better views of SE and the Epcot fireworks. We like using the stairs and side door out to the DHS walking path, and it’s also convenient to Swan/Dolphin/Yacht/Beach dining. And when we do take a bus to a park or DS, we really don’t mind the walk down the air conditioned corridor to get to the lobby.

How do I request housekeeping to let me sleep in on the last day?

This sums it up:

It's only a theory, but part of the reason I always like to put room number requests in (aside from actually wanting those rooms) is that I figure if they can't grant the request, they usually will try to put you in the next closest spot. If you request a room number, then they'll usually still work on getting you a nearby room in the same building or wing. If you just request a building or wing, then they may just resort to getting you a nearby building or nearby wing. I request room 3103 or 3145, both are in building 1 Congress Park - if I don't get my exact room request, 99% of the time I'll still get in building 1. If I just request Congress Park Building 1, they may still get me in Congress Park, but building 3 or 4...which is quite a bit farther away from the Disney Springs bridge.

At Boardwalk, if I don't get my specific room number request, I usually end up in the same wing or section...it's not the covered or private balcony I wanted, but it will still be the same 2nd floor garden view area close to Swan/Dolphin, which I like for the quiet vs pool views, and the convenience of having the Swan/Dolphin boat dock as a 'back way' to my room from the parks.

And some, like Boulder Ridge, I've strangely managed to get a specifically requested room number (a room on the 4th floor which is facing the lake and closer to elevator) 5 times out of my last 6 stays there. As in, the exact same room!

I gave like 6 room numbers for vgc and i got completely opposite of what I asked for, but I realize it was a one night stay at a place that barely has rooms
