Improving Room Requests: Give Us Feedback

I should have complete bedding information, so let me know a couple of rooms and I’ll check.

I just programmed the update to convert Kidani and Copper Creek rooms from sleeper sofas to pull-down queen beds (except the CC 2BR Cabins, which didn’t change). Kidani’s in the middle of a refurb, but our contact said all the sleeper sofa rooms are already out of circulation.

OK, so this is what I have for Poly balconies in non-suite longhouse rooms, including DVC:

  • All longhouses have patios on the first floor
  • All longhouses have full balconies on the 3rd floor
  • These longhouses have “Juliet” balconies on the 2nd floor according to planDisney:
    • Aotearoa, Fiji, Hawaii, Niue, Rarotonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu
  • The Tonga longhouse is just suites
  • That means these longhouses have full balconies on the 2nd floor:
    • Moorea, Pago Pago, Tokelau

Let me know if that’s not correct, please.

This is amazingly hard to find in a single place online. I had to text Steve “Tikiman” Seifert.

This looks like it matches the descriptions in the UG. :thinking: I know that’s not necessarily a big help.

I have been scrolling through years of Poly photos. I never realized they called those second floor rooms Juliet balconies. The ones at BC just look a little bigger to me. Thanks for teaching me something new.

We’ve updated the Room Finder data as follows:

Beach Club Resort

  • Corrects Room Types at Beach Club to include “Resort View - King Bed” if the primary bed is a king bed

  • Adds context to Water View rooms with king beds to differentiate between “Water View” rooms with queen beds and those with kings. (Because “Water View - King Bed” is not a room type Disney uses right now.)

Copper Creek and Animal Kingdom Lodge - Kidani

  • Updates rooms to bedding “Queen Pull-Down” from “Queen Sleeper Sofa”, per Disney

Polynesian Longhouses (Cash & DVC)

  • Updates balcony description using these rules:

  • All longhouses have patios on the first floor

  • All longhouses have full balconies on the 3rd floor

  • These longhouses have “Juliet” balconies on the 2nd floor according to planDisney:
    Aotearoa, Fiji, Hawaii, Niue, Rarotonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu

  • The Tonga longhouse is just suites

  • That means these longhouses have full balconies on the 2nd floor:
    Moorea, Pago Pago, Tokelau

if you’re willing to test our our new Room Request page, please contact me (via direct message here is likely easiest). I’m assembling a list of testers.

How good is this intel? I have a 1 br booked for early March (slim pickings late booking over princess) and I don’t mind paying for the renovated rooms but that old room, I can find much better value elsewhere.

Indeed. Len - I wonder if you can give us a hint. :winking_face_with_tongue:

I saw this also at Boardwalk - I think the room category type is “2 Queens”, and then the additional bedding is in a field that I don’t believe we can filter on currently.

I think all Poly non-DVC rooms have daybeds (similar to Contemporary, GF, Yacht Club)? But it would be nice to be sure. And it would be very helpful at Beach Club, Boardwalk, etc. where the bedding differs based on room location (as well as @melcort10’s note about the odd DVC rooms where they had to leave sleeper sofas instead of pulldowns).

@len - I also saw this bug(?) when looking at Boardwalk, and I can test for reproduction steps if helpful.

Ah, I can’t. Sorry.

Yeah, we don’t have a filter for either the secondary or tertiary column of bedding information.

In some cases, the Room Type will provide hints:

So there we’re able to differentiate (as an example) Resort View rooms with:

  • King beds + 1 Daybed
  • 2 Queen beds + 1 Daybed
  • 2 Queen beds

I’d prefer doing that to adding more dropdowns, just to keep the UI small. (I can be convinced otherwise, just not for the next two months. :stuck_out_tongue: )

What room type are you looking at at BWI? I can see what other bedding info we can provide.

Remind me what that bug is, please? I think @david might have a better sense of how to fix it. Thanks! And thanks @JenniferB1975 !

Wouldn’t every DVC room have a sleeper sofa of some kind though? So are they done with the refurb? I’m confused by this.

I took it to mean all rooms are either complete or in progress.

So I think that the Boulder Ridge studio rooms with sleeper sofas are 5521 and 5526.

They appear to be showing the incorrect bedding similar to the issue at the Boardwalk I think. The rooms should have the pull-down bed OR the sleeper sofa, this seems to imply they have both.

The majority of the top floor is dedicated 2-bedrooms and a couple seem to accurately list the sleeper sofa, but others have both listed.

Agree that this is what I thought it meant too but I feel like we only recently even started seeing new rooms come online so this was surprising!

I see that, but it makes me think that only the Club Level rooms have daybeds, which obviously isn’t the case.

Yeah, I get that.

Would the general population understand things like this?

  • Resort View (1K+1Q Pull-Down+1 Daybed")
  • Resort View (2Q+1 Daybed)

More than half our visitors are using mobile devices, so spelling out “Resort View (1 King Bed + 1 Queen Pull-Down Bed + 1 Daybed”) might not look good. I’d have to check. And I really don’t want to add more drop-downs.

I like abbreviating King and Queen as K and Q. It seems intuitive - my brain didn’t even process that you had abbreviated until I re-read it.
