Just got off the phone with a CM as I needed to give them flight info for DME, and wanted to add a request for the 70s section. My bf and I are staying Dec 2017 in a Preferred room, and already had renovated room down as request, but now that we know that the 70s will be our only bet, we decided to make our request more specific if we were on the phone already.
What was interesting was that the CM told me... repeatedly... no matter what I said... that ALL rooms at Pop would be renovated by the end of August. She said that was the schedule they had, and that they had not been behind schedule so that it was 100 percent true. I pointed out to her that only the 80 (one building) and 90s are open, and she was having none of it. Just thought I'd mention this in case someone else runs into this when trying to make requests. I was able to get her off it, and to put my request in by pretending I thought she was right (she very politely told me I was wrong about five times) and saying that regardless we still wanted the 70s, and I had already stayed in the 50s and 60s before so I wanted a change. It was super bizarre.
