WDW Adv Check-In vs TP's Room Request

[toonaspie]

Is there a difference between which one is guaranteed to get you the room you want? I've seen pros and cons for both but still confused as to which is best in my situation. I did look through TP's resort map and got the exact room in mind. It won't bother me if we don't get it since we're doing a preferred room (at ASMu) anyway.

I need to know which and when to submit the room request at. Thanks.

You can do both as long as they don't contradict each other. Neither method will guarantee anything though.

There's no way to guarantee a request. Whether or not you'll get yours has very little to do with how you make the request. It depends on factors which are mostly out of your control, like how many people happen to be checking out of rooms that meet your criteria on the day you arrive.

If the request is on your reservation record, and there's a room open that matches your request, the odds are very good that you'll get it. If you get your room assignment and it's not what you wanted, you can always ask the CM at the check-in desk if there's anything available that would be a better fit.
