we are going to get a "bottom of the barrell" room? We are checking into the AKL after our day at Sea World, so won't get there until later in the day. Will this greatly affect our room assignment?
 
Usually your room is already assigned prior to you getting there. I don't believe there is "bottom of the barrell" rooms available at the AKL, lol

I have heard of people checking in late and their rooms being given away or some other problem arrising and they were all given upgrades, so keep your fingers crossed!
 
Bottom of the barrell, no, but...we also had a late check-in one year and were given a handicapped room. I hated the walk in open shower and the whole bathroom set up (Port Orleans Riverside-Mansion). I would definitely call again and make sure you will get what you want.
;)
 
If you get your room and it turns out to be something you feel is "bottom of the barrel" I would just tell the front desk that you feel this way and I am sure they will accommodate you. I doubt every room at the AKL will be totally filled just because you need to check in late. My sister didn't like the room she got when she first checked in at AKL last year and they moved her to one that was more satisfactory with no problem. (always remember to be super nice and usually they will bend over backwards to help)

Why don't you swing over there early in the morning and check in... before sea world, they can hold your bags for you and you can get all the paper work out of the way.

No bottom of the barrel at AKL is right...you will love it there and the rooms!
 
Yes, checking in later could affect your room assignment. Are you going in a very busy week? How full will the resort be?

If there are twenty vacant rooms nearer the lobby and twenty of the first people checking in that day request "close to the lobby", then they will get it. This is not aimed at not giving you what you want because you are late. But those arriving earlier in the day are more likely to get what they request, if it is available.
