I always online check in, then a couple days in advance call and say I'm checking on my reservation, once i get a cast member I ask if they can put a specific site on the reservation, they say they will but no promises, they usually ask if we are celebrating anything, well with 6 of us, its usually somebody's birthday or anniversary. We have always get our loop request and all but 2 times we got the site we requested. this year we were assigned our requested site, but it wasn't ready yet, we arrived early. We travel 4 days to get to FW, so we couldn't wait, we took the next available and got 718 right away. Its still FW, no bad sites!
