Does anyone know if the 60's section is totally closed? Or are some room open? I requested 60's renovated room, I arrive next Sunday. Do I need to change my requests? Thx
No one?

Latest update on post 2 is as of 3/4, so it might be different by now. Some rooms are renovated and opened, but some are still closed. There are no non-renovated 60s rooms that are open. If they are able to put you in the 60s, it'll be refurbed. But considering only some rooms are open, there may be a lower chance than usual for them fulfilling the decades part of your request.No one?
Just back. Has anyone else reported this problem? Our door stopped locking. So my husband says "that's weird I got a red light but it opened". So I tried my band and the same thing, red light when I tapped my band but the door opened. So everyone went in the room and I didn't use my band and the door just opened. It was late so we used the dead bolt and latch then I walked to the front desk in the morning and told them what happened. They said that they would put in a work order. About 20 minutes later a maintenance worker showed up and said that they've been having this problem. They put the doors in "construction mode" so they don't lock while they refurbish the room, then they switch them back to locking mode. However some rooms have been reverting back to construction mode, randomly. When our neighbors heard the guy they popped out and said theirs was doing the same thing. It was fixed pretty quick but I was left with a not good feeling. It was apparent that they're aware of the problem and we weren't the first for this to happen to, yet they're just handling it on a case by case basis. If we hadn't stayed at WDW a million times we probably wouldn't have thought anything of it that the light wasn't green and therefore would have left our room open all day long for anyone to walk into. Although our problem was solved I'm still thinking about writing a letter, stating that they should inform guests that this is a possibility and to make sure that the door is locking when they leave. I don't know, what do you all think? For reference we were in building 7, 80s, 7358.
I don't know about anyone else, but I always double check the door when I leave for the day to make sure it's locked behind me, regardless of what hotel I'm staying in. So I don't know that guests would need a separate notification that this could happen. I would make sure any valuables are secured when you leave for the day, just in case. I would hope that Housekeeping is aware of the issue, as we have no guarantee that they are taking the time to check that the room is locked when they are finished.
Fortunately we had a Safeway grocery delivery (which worked perfectly!)
I called down and requested a change of sheets and blankets. They just left them in a pile on the stripped bed, which is understandable since we declined housekeeping, but I was hoping they would at least put them on for us
Was it waiting for you at the front desk when you arrived? We need some cold items and I’m hoping they keep them cold for us even though we don’t arrive until after 11pm!
Wednesday marks three weeks until I arrive - will be eagerly awaiting my text/room assignment from home - hoping for another update before then. If not my only plans arrival night are to walk around the resort so will provide any updates I find.
We are 3 1/2 weeks!! Can’t wait to get back! We requested 60’s.... standard room.... hoping we get a renovated room so bad! Last year our mattress was so bad that I didn’t sleep our entire stay! I just don’t think I can do that again! Fingers crossed!
Currently requested a preferred room in Building 5 for next week should I change?If you are going in 3 weeks and have a standard room requested you may want to reconsider the 60's section. The 60's section has mainly Preferred Pool View rooms and Preferred View rooms. We are not aware that any standard rooms are currently open in the 60's section and they may not be in 3 weeks either. The second group of rooms in Building 5 (the area with some of their standard rooms) closed 60 days ago so it's understandable that they're not open yet. All of building 4 is closed which houses the other standard rooms.
It's up to you but if your first preference is for a refurbished room you may wish to change your primary request to another refurbished area as standard rooms in the 60's if available at all, will be slim pickings.

The new beds are great!Thank you so much for the suggestion! Yes, I will change my requests! I love Pop, but those mattresses!!! I came close to asking for a room change, but remembered I had a similar problem the year before as well! I hear the new beds are comfy!
