What is the best way to make room requests?

[moreisgood]

I know the answer is scattered all over these boards, but what is the best way to make room requests?

I believe it is to e-mail Member Services on the Contact Us form.
We will be staying at 3 resorts - should I do separate forms, or should it all be on one form?
How far ahead should I make my requests, and does it make a difference?

Thank you!

Send one email with all requests on a split stay. It doesn't seem to matter when you submit as to whether you get any or all of your requests. The main thing that matters, is what rooms are checking out on the day you want to check in to a certain request. Also, how many people checking in that day make that request.

I don't think Disney would disallow your request out of spite. But if fifteen people checking in to BWV studios all want to be close to the elevator, and only three rooms anywhere near there are coming open that day, then twelve reservations are going to not get their request. Just how it is.

So request away, and don't be too frustrated if you go zero for three on getting requests honored. This is the nature of the system that we own.
