Weāve had the 2nd to last 2BR at Kidani, and one that was in the first half and TBH I kinda feel like the walk seems long even when youāre in one of the first rooms! Itās just such a very looooong hallway.

This is the #1 reason I request Grandstand! The pool in that section is just a hole in the groundā¦ the only reason to go there is if you want to use the bigger hot tub or pool bar.

Resort: POR
Class of Room Booked: Woods View 5th Sleeper
Method Used: TP Request
Room Requested: 1733,
Result: 1448
Requested POR 1733, or 2nd floor corner room in building 17 or 16 as those were the buildings that had my room type (woods view 5th sleeper). Got an upgraded room to 1448 in building 14 with a River View. It was a great corner room on the 2nd floor with a view of the river and the main building. This location was perfect and doesnāt get much better for access to the main building and the south bus stop at POR.

To be fair, there are only 10 of these rooms totalāso I did get the area of the resort that I wanted, just not the floor. Worked out well though as the 3rd floor rooms have a significantly larger balcony than those on the 4th floor.

Resort: OKW
Class: 1bv DVC
Method used: called into DVC mbr ser
Room Requested: ground floor, close to a pool
Result: 5513
we needed ground floor b/c DH had recently hurt his back and was in NO condition to have to climb stairs and OKW only has two buildings w/ elevators. Our room was AMAZING. On our lanai we could see the South Point pool and the river. We were visited by ducks and other songbirds daily. Also, Iād like to put in a praise for waitlists b/c we had to extend, and weāve always been lucky to get our waitlists fulfilled. OH, I forgot the last night the front desk actually got us an extra night using our DVC points (our flight was leaving late and we didnāt want to hang out at the airport for an extra 5 hours). We were SO grateful and amazed that the front desk could do that kind of magic.

Class: Garden view
Method used: TP
Room requested: 6108, āreally just close to the cute fountain with the spitting frogs, please!ā
Result: 4243
The reservation was through my sonās Cast Member discounts, so part of me wonders if we got such a great room because someone up there wants CMās to be happy with their staycations. This room was a corner room with two windows, close to the elevator, with a spectacular view of the frog fountain. My sister and I were blissed out the whole time! I couldnāt have asked for a more magical room.

Amazing! I had similar magic in 2020 when we were forced (I meanā¦ kinda) to stay at BWV an extra few nights over a race weekend due to SW airlines having a bunch of their planes grounded. I was just hoping for any DVC (aka I didnāt have to pay $$ for it) accomodation anywhere, but they somehow finagled it so we could stay in the same studio!

It was completely fine but the exact opposite of the request. South trail, top floor. We were 10 hours delayed so I wonder a little if people had requested to switch rooms before we arrived. Perhaps they heard the very noisy family next doorā¦

- Resort: Beach Club Villas
- Class of room booked: Studio
- Method used: Request through Touring Plans
- Room request: 469 - I donāt recall the exact phrasing but I asked to please be as far from a smoking area both horizontally and vertically as possible, since itās a migraine trigger for both my elder daughter and myself.
- Additional circumstances: The reason I specify the smoking area is because weāve lost days with one or more family members in bed on holiday before from proximity (one time, ground floor, directly in front of it, no they wouldnāt change our room). DH also has severe asthma but he wasnāt with us this time. For some reason smokers seem to congregate there in numbers I havenāt seen anywhere else.
- Result: 331
The room we were given was almost directly above the smoking area on the 3rd floor. We were there less than 24 hours and it only affected us at breakfast that we couldnāt eat out on the balcony but really it wasnāt that big a deal. I just feel as if they could do better when thereās an actual reason for the request.

Yes! This almost feels like they blatantly disregarded your request. Iām sure thatās not what happened, but itās odd.

In June 2022 we got a Grandstand bldg - the one clear across the parking lot from the bus stop. This was unacceptable when my only request was āless than 3 min to a bus stopā.
At the front desk the person said, but it IS the first bus stop, which made me wonder how the bus stop request got reinterpreted. We did get the Paddock bldg I was interested in as they had that ready.
Eta: very likely most folks can cross that parking lot in 3 minutes. At 2 in the afternoon of a very hot 
day, it was too far for me and DH.

You picked the wrong photo! Thatās the side view from outside on the breezeway. Hereās the money view:
And a slightly different perspective:
And honestly, the whole reason I wanted this area is the spitting frog fountain, my favorite since 1998:
But I understand. To each his own!
