Upgrades if you book through travel agent?

[SleepingUgly]

A friend told me that the resorts are less likely (or not at all) to upgrade you if they see that you made ressies through a travel agent, instead of directly through Disney. Is this true? Has anyone ever obtained a room upgrade even when you booked through an agent?

I've booked only through Disney for all of our trips, and we've only been upgraded once--from a standard view to a pool view at AKL for a three night stay. Other than that, no upgrades ever.

DW and I book through AAA and we booked a woods-view at WL last year. On arrival, we were upgraded to a courtyard view 5th floor room on the lobby. I think it has to do with many factors, including how busy the resort is, the CM and how you approach the upgrade.
