You can’t. You can request but it’s always based upon availability upon arrival.
I just realized you are new to dis.
For standard view, my favorite is Tokelau. It is nicely situated between the GCH and the TTC. It is also next to the Oasis Pool. I have included a picture from Room 3913.
This is the building I put my request in for. Hoping to get it.
Thanks so much!@jsjd2000
If you have not yet done so go to page 1 of this thread and read up . Knowing the resort map and transportation and dining options are very important before you arrive. Also play with the APP. See what dining you can book and what the menus look like. I go seversl times a year to wdw but still check my menus for the resort I will next stay at. It always changes and hours do too sometimes.
I like all ears.net for tutorials on dining, genie+, hotel info etc.
I love poly and have stayed in the hotel and dvc rooms. My next up is a dvc in November. I am not going to make a request because all 3 floors have a balcony/patio which is my 1st choice. My last 2 dvc side have been in Moorea. I like it there . You can see the castle from the top of the staircases.
Wow. That looks great. Thank you!
How did you put your request in for that?
To be away from construction request near transportation/bus stop which is in front of Rarotonga. You can get a view of the parking lot but the monorail zooming by makes up for it.
Exactly what Trishadono said about the request. Just call and ask. I also checked at the front desk when we got there to see if the request was fulfilled before they put us in a room first and needed to change.
People had other floaties at the Oasis pool. I didn’t see any at volcano pool. So I’m not sure.

Did you call the front desk or WDW? I booked through Costco and unfortunately no one from the Disney world call center can put in a request for me since it was booked through Costco. The person from Costco said I can call the front desk about two weeks prior to check in and see if I can put my request in but I don’t think anyone can actually call the front desk… I think it just all goes to the same call center.Exactly what Trishadono said about the request.

Also wanted to say that both times we stayed in Rarotonga we had a monorail view. The trees and greenery are so lush we could barely see the bus stop let alone the parking lot. It’s actually really quiet.
We also noticed that unless you were on balcony you couldn’t even hear the monorail.
Yeah this is the problem with booking through a non-Disney focused TA, you get people that aren't necessarily knowledgeable about Disney quirks. You're right, there is no "front desk" to call, even when you push the button on the phone in your room your call is going to a centralized call center. This is why I would only go through Costco if staying at Swan/Dolphin tbh. When you book through a TA you are ceding control of your reservation to them so you want to make sure you go with people that know what they're doing. Disney won't do anything with a guest's reservation if they're booked through a TA.
Yes it was WDW not the front desk. They may still be able to accommodate your request upon arrival.
Thank you. It was $1200 cheaper to book a Costco package than going through Disney directly, even with the summer deal. I was flabbergasted to say the least.
I appreciate your input. What building would be better to request?
