I’m setting up my room request and noticed that Disney is only listing Martinique as an option, while touringplan fax request also offers Barbados (which i would prefer).
So, does Barbados still offer preferred rooms?
Thanks in advance

I’m curious, where are you seeing a list from Disney for preferred rooms? I did a quick search and checked the site and couldn’t find anything “official” stating which was which.
WOW! That’s the first time I’ve seen anything beyond very generic “low floor/high floor” requests via online check-in. I didn’t realize they added more options for preferred rooms.
Everything I’ve read online shows preferred rooms are also in the Barbados buildings, and Disney always limits their options on the check-in room requests, so I’d assume there are preferred rooms in Barbados.
I’d set up a fax room request for Barbados via TP. I’m not sure which they give more weight too, so I’d avoid using the request on the check-in in case they decide that request supersedes the fax request and the requests conflict (as in, they can get you in a corner room if you request that on check-in, but not a corner room in Barbados Village, so they decide to put you in a corner room in a different village even though you’d have preferred a non-corner room in Barbados).
Edited to add: I just went to online check in for our standard room reservation for CBR in December, and I have the same exact options that you are presented with, so I assume those are the generic request options everyone receives for CBR. In which case, definitely ignore them and go with a TP fax request because every person who doesn’t know about faxing requests will be selecting one of those 3 options.

I would 100% agree that if you are using TP or a call to Disney then do not select anything through on-line check-in.
That will overwrite anything else. You need to make sure any requests you make say the same thing.
Can’t help with the room request question though, sorry.

Ok, thank you! I will stick to my plan.
I’m also booked in a preferred at CB. Am just starting to look into the room requests, any particular reason you prefer Barbados over Martinique?
Barbados is closer to the Pool, to the Skyliner & to Spyglass Grill. You could argue that it’s further away from the foodcourt. While this ist true, i’d rather walk the extra yards in dry cloth, than the opposite.
