Yes, but try not to enter the room if possible. You can always look up the room on Touring plans to get any info you need.

If staying in rented points, is it still possible to ask for a room change if the room assigned isn’t what I want?

The new room must be in the same booking category.

I did enter the room because I thought it would be fine. However, upon entering, we found that it still had a sofabed and not a Murphy Bed. And it was so far from the lobby. My mom is elderly. She gets around well, but that extra walking for her was not going to be fun. A kind CM was able to switch us no problem. We are much closer to the lobby and we have a fully renovated room.

I just thought it was weird because I thought all the rooms had the Murphy beds now.

Interesting when I called MS to add a request that I get a room with a murphy bed she wouldn't add it saying "they all have murphy beds" I know for next time to force them to add it

FYI: the room we were originally going to em was 1131. It definitely had a sofa bed and an older coffee table. The rest of the furniture was changed, so I didn’t notice at first and then I noticed the Murphy bed wasn’t there. But the CM was very nice and I was lucky that other Studios were available.

Thread on BWV rooms which do not have the Murphy bed:

Thread 'Do all 1BR at BWV have a Murphy bed?'

Feb 4, 2025

I booked a 1 BR standard (resort) view at BWV thinking they had the Murphy/sofa combos, but DVC's room description says this is a sofa bed. I contacted MS who said, "Yes. Some rooms have the sofa bed. You can request, but not guaranteed....."

I have researched and not seen a renovated 1BR with a sofa bed reviewed. And PlanDisney says they were replacing the sofa beds with Murphy beds.

This sofa bed is definitely a no-go for our group.

So, which is it? A Murphy/sofa combo or a pull out sofa bed? Or either?

Thank you!

Concerning that not all sofa beds have been replaced.

That thread explains why but honestly I dont find that reassuring. Its the same concept as CCV having a shower and tub booking class for their studios as the needs are very different.

The difference between a murphy bed and sofa are fairly significant. Luckily if we ever got it the kids would be on it and they would likely not notice it like an adult.
