I think I may have responded to you earlier on this, but not sure? SL is a tricky building for room requests IMO. Ultimately the only rooms I really would NOT want to be in are first floor around the atrium, third floor at the ends (dormer balconies) or fourth floor (dormer balconies). I could live with everything else. Our room in April was on the 3rd floor, middle, facing the marina. I liked the room/view, we could see some (key word, some) fireworks. It was somewhat noisy as noise floats up from the lounge through the atrium. Not terrible, but you know when they start setting up breakfast. We get up early anyway so not really a big deal.
FYI, on those last two comments... yes, you can/should e-mail DSS with your room requests and ask to have them noted on your reservation. I would strongly recommend this over faxing. The last few times I've asked when checking in, they read off the room request on my reservation which was nearly verbatim what I had e-mailed DSS, so I have a high level of confidence in that method. If you do fax, you want to do it before a couple of days before arriving. Rooms are assigned roughly 5 days out, so you want to get everything into DSS or fax sometime before then.
Just one person's opinion, but hope that helps!
@GADisneyDad14 , THANK YOU! I really appreciate your suggestions!
Yes, you did respond to me before (I think I tagged you saying so in my post? Maybe not?), but I can't find it! I reached out to DSS via email today with a few questions, so hopefully I'll hear back soon.
I'd love to request MAYBE too many things???
1. Two queen beds and one day bed configuration (The room type lists two queens as an option? Or a King? HECK NO, I want my SLEEP 5!)
2. A quieter room on a higher floor
3. Facing marina ("some fireworks" view?)
I'm a little unsure as to how requesting a quiet room would affect the other two requests. I guess it's really just a roll of the dice, too, when it comes to room requests!
Thanks again!
