I hope they expand pool capacity. I am a little concerned about not being able to enjoy the pool in the summer in Florida.
If I want to make a room request for the alternate studios, what do I say? High floor, end of hallway? Await from elevator, odd number room? TIA!
You can give an example of a room number and that might help. I use a room request tool and then add notes about preferences in order of importance. It seems to work in getting us something from our preference list in most situations. I know some will say they throw out room requests for DVC, but if that is the case I have just had amazing luck on several trips. Good luck!If I want to make a room request for the alternate studios, what do I say? High floor, end of hallway? Await from elevator, odd number room? TIA!
I’d go with “give me an alternate studio... or else.” Let them know you’re serious about it.
I’m laughing way too hard for 6:30 am
the main pool was at capacity every day not long after noon for us. Always able to use the quiet pool. Only issue we had there were the chogs who locked down the cabanas With their gear. Some days over 4 hours, not a soul in sight. TackyI hope they expand pool capacity. I am a little concerned about not being able to enjoy the pool in the summer in Florida.
Ah, so that’s where I went wrong on last weeks’ trip lol. Wound up in one of the 7th floor balconies (ugh). How, no idea, as different category than what we booked
Was told that can happen, often there.
Supposedly, the CM noted our file I’d like to have the alternate studio in our upcoming July trip. Was reminded there are only five of them and that the rest are located on the 1st floor...a location I tend to avoid at any resort. Oh well, rolling the dice lol

At the quite pool in the upper area with umbrellas & tables, nearest main WL building...entire section did experience rather aggressive biting crawlies (ants & a reddish black critter that gave out some stinging bites that caused raised bubbles on skin UGH).
Did inform the staff. Appears not uncommon there, they next in the ‘rocks’. Said they would request an early spraying.
Otherwise, a lovely trip in a nearly deserted lobby during the day...how often does that happen lol?. A bit worried once the main lodge opens, things might be an issue unless they open up social distancing numbers poolside.
Room view, was rarely out on balcony as I had to stand to see anything Have had same issue at WL, the luck of the draw, generally Odd this time as to different category than I booked.View attachment 574993

Was determined one morning to have a view with my coffee. Spent several hours at the empty pool before heading to MGM for RoTR . Boarding group 48, our best time ever woot.

Can’t wait to be back for 4th of July
Yes. At first CM insisted my WL filled with the other category until I had her double check it. I’m thinking somebody may have arrived earlier than us & pleaded their case to be reassigned from the 7th floor & CM mistakenly crossed the categoriesHad you booked a studio with tub and got a walk in shower?
WELCOME HOME!!!!Hey all! Brand new CCV owner here, and it's our first DVC contract. Our points were uploaded an hour ago and we have our first trip booked for a 1BR next January 9-15! We always used to stay at AOA or other value resorts and we'd go eat dinner one night at Whispering Canyon and think "wow, how cool would it be to stay here one day." Then we found out about DVC and the resale market and we've got 239 days until our first of many stays at CCV!
Welcome home! And welcome to the group. The love for CCV is strong. No regrets about our purchase...just always tempted to buy more!Hey all! Brand new CCV owner here, and it's our first DVC contract.
