WL Room Requests...

I kinda like overlooking the main lobby. The noise has never bothered me, but if you're easily disturbed then I guess maybe it could be a problem. If I were staying at Wilderness Lodge again, I would want a Bay Lake View.

On our last stay at WL we asked for a woods view. We were on the ground level of the resort with a beautiful view. I can't remember our room number .

Thanks folks...Holiday booked..Oct12th till Oct 25th...I requested a room on the upper floor,and the kind lady on the phone said I'll put that request in for you,but here's my good deed for today..I'am gonna give you a free upgrade to a wood view..!Wow..The magic has started already...Can't wait to stay here...

What was the view before the upgrade? Standard/Parking lot?

Not sure..Just wanted a standard room..Then she said about this upgrade..To be honest it happened that quick I was kinda saying oh thank you, I was desperate to get back onto Virgin airlines to confirm my flight..

Yay Pixie Dust!

Exactly VelcroPooh..I was so busy writing down details and reference numbers it almost flew over my head..

I just returned from my first stay at Wilderness Lodge (and first at a deluxe resort) and was in 5062. It is considered a standard view room, which is what I booked, but I would rate the view as SUB-standard! It overlooked the dumpsters and either delivery or garbage trucks were coming and going in the middle of the night. When I checked in, I asked if there was either a courtyard or woods view room available but was told there was not...and even if there was, I would have had to pay extra for it as - quote - "we are not currently offering complimentary upgrades". So you are very lucky to have gotten the upgrade! That said, I did love the Lodge...I was just disappointed with the location of my room

Wow, that would be VERY disappointing. A deluxe resort with a dumpster view.

I have been reading a review of WL and best room choices..It was stating wood view rooms 6002 up to 6030.. That's like 6002/6004/6006/ etc,etc...Prior to doing my check in nearer the time..Is it possible to request any of these rooms ?..To be honest I'am not really too bothered, it was just something my DW asked me the other day...

You can request, but there is no guarantee you will get them.

Cheers Mr Hub...No harm in asking nearer the time...

Usually when we have gone in past years we have sent a fax to PORS asking for specific buildings, did it the last 2 years and haven't been disappointed with our rooms yet - we did that about 4/5 days before arriving

no harm in asking???

We have done the same at CS and had great luck getting where we wanted so it is definatley worth trying

Cheers folks...A fax?....Pretty sure they don't have a E Mail address..Or do they?...Must investigate ...

Think Faxing is more standout than e-mail as they must recieve a higher percentage of e-mail every day compared to the retro communication that is Faxsimile

That was what I thought but there is an unofficial PORS page where I got our info from and there are e-mail addresses but I was told they go to the main Disney offices rather than the resorts and the only way to get a direct message to the resorts themselves was to send a fax

Might seem a bit behind in the times but every time I have done it, it has worked a treat!

Don't have a fax machine in the castle.. ...

I have sent E Mail to the Unofficial Wilderness Lodge site for info..

if there is no other way I have access to a fax machine in the building I work at so if you wanted I could send it for you??? but see what they say and fingers crossed there is another way!

Much obliged Amy..Will wait for response...Cheers..

All he has to do is fax you a copy of his letter and you will forward it to WDW for him

I hope you realise Mr F that you are responsible for me bursting into laughter in front of a reception full of patients!!!!!

they are now looking at me very oddly!!!

Your welcome

That's it..No more Irish jokes from me..Just Guernsey ones from now on..

On my Disney experience I can make online check in 60 days prior to arrival..

Yeah you can but in the past there has never been an option to have special requests unless that's changed since last september????
