Originally Posted By rtjl72 you may even want to ask for an upper floor. the trees have grown so tall that on the lower floors your view is really quite blocked. i'll bet they had 3 sheets of notes on my requests for this last summer. but, you know what? our rooms were perfect- and i mean perfect, so all the effort i put into it really paid off. i was always nice and the cms never seemed to mind my adding or clarigying my requests. i really stressed over getting the room locations that i wanted(just ask my x jet friends). and again, it all paid off and i was ecstatic- i mean ecstatic when i found out where our rooms were!

Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains Yes - I would call and put my request in - if it's in advance you will have a better chance to get it.
Originally Posted By nemopoppins I'm not sure if the requests for location have much weight. I think that requesting a king or two queens is almost a certain type of request, or even requesting connected rooms. But, I used to request location and only got my choice about 1/2 the time. You'd think there should at least have been a majority if the request mattered. Because of that, I have learned to love each tower and each stay in its own way and I never request location. (I actually do have a little preference for Bonita/Wonder, but not with a standard city view.)
Originally Posted By LauraLatte I called about 8 days before my trip to request adjoining rooms. They transferred me to a room assinger, who told me he was just prepping the rooms for my arrival date, and so he assigned my room over the phone. I'm sure it could have changed, but we did end up with the rooms he originally assigned us, so you may want to ask to speak to someone on the room assignment team, and also find out the schedule for when they assign rooms. It's obviously something they do in advance instead of as you check in.
