Last night was my 2 week mark for putting in room requests for SSR. I was told once by a CM at DVC that 2 weeks seems to be the sweet spot for those room requests as whoever is behind the scenes doing this plugs in your requests around that time. Our grandson was staying over night with us last night and yesterday was a too busy day to be on hold with DVC, so I took a chance and tried chatting with a DVC member around 7:30 pm. Worked like a charm! She said my requests were already made when I booked but she would make sure they were forwarded to those who need to know.
Dad and Di are to thank from many trips back on which areas to ask for at SSR. We stayed once many moons ago when SSR was small, and just starting out, very near the front area, near the main pool in what I believe would now be a Premium room. We liked it but didn't find it fit our tastes. A few years later it had built up to what we know it to be now, and once again stayed there. Dad and Di suggested the Grandstand area and we knew that was the place to be at their suggestion. We love it over there, a bit removed from the hustle/bustle of the main area, but not so far you cant walk to that area.
My point being, and we hope the the chat last night pans out for our requests. We are only there for 3 nights so not a big deal if not, but will be interested to see how it works out.
Jimmy...you just reminded me how we had to move our trip back and won't be overlapping with you. It would have been great to see you and the gang, and maybe enjoy a meal together at Trails End. We'll certainly make our way over there during our trip, and we'll raise a glass of moonshine in your honor!
DDad & Di were kind enough to provide the same recommendation for Grandstand. We'll see how the request works out, but that's not something we stress about. We are rarely in a hurry at WDW, so if we end up in the far flung reaches of SSR for this trip, we'll be fine. We probably will spend a little more time at DS than a typical trip due to its proximity.
It is interesting that I just received an email from Touring Plans that severely reduced the anticipated attendance levels at WDW during our upcoming trip. Most of the changes were at DHS which went from 6-7 levels down to 2-3...I guess Star Wars is off to a very slow start. And heads are already starting to roll. Catherine Powell steps down
