Can anyone recommend what rooms requests I should put in for a 2-bedroom if I want a PP/WOC view? And in what order? Thank you! Love this awesome thread!
I don't remember where I saw this, but here is the list for a dedicated 2-bedroom with best view:
3522, 6500, 5500, 4500, 5506, 4506
Sorry if this is too late for your trip! Hopefully, it isn't. Have fun!
I am changing this based on what I've read more recently for 2-bedroom preferences:
6500, 5500, 5506, 4500, 4506, 3522
Apparently the trees have grown, and the view from 3522 isn't as good anymore. I can't verify personally as I've never stayed in it. Seems like, the higher, the better for now.
I just did a VGC room request by chat yesterday. I listed 5 specific rooms and she said that she had put in the requests. No issue.Have the rules for making a room request changed?
I am renting points and asked to have the following request lodged on my behalf by the owner, using the template found on this thread...
Dear Member Services:
I would like to add a room request to reservation number 4XXXXXXXXXXX
This reservation is for a studio at the Villas of Grand Californian
Arrival: Thursday March X 2020
Departure: Saturday March X 2020
Add this room location request:
"Prefer a high floor, if possible with a Pixar Pier Park View. The room order of preference is: 6504, 5504, 5510, 4504, 4510, 5516, 4516, 5509, 4509, 3504, 3510, 3516, 3509"
I understand that room requests cannot be guaranteed.
Thank You
The rental agency responded that:
We are happy to send your room vicinity requests off however we are only able to list 3 rooms requests. As you are not able to request a view of the Pixar Pier park, and we are only able to make three room requests we would require you to select a specific room number out of the rooms that you have provided.
Is this DVC policy now?
I’d also say that is just coming from the rental agency. It’s not from DVC.Have the rules for making a room request changed?

I noticed that this was asked a couple of years ago, but we were just in 6500 in August (2019) and we heard the same thing. They really need to fix it because we could tell every time someone went in and out.Has anyone stayed in 6500 recently? It has a great view but we were there a few years ago and the door that goes out to the observation platform did not have a soft close mechanism on it and it slammed every time it was opened and closed. Our DD happened to get sick while we were there and stayed in the room (the bedroom with 2 queens) to sleep. It bothered her all day. I mentioned something at checkout to have the door looked at but I've always avoided requesting that room since so I don't know if it was fixed.
