I have seen it mentioned that bldg 10 had water damage. Maybe they had to replace plumbing and/or take some of the rooms back down to studs and that is why it is taking so long?
Sorry to hear you did not get one of the new rooms. Had you faxed your request in too? You could possibly ask to be moved the next day if something opens up if you wanted. Not sure if you want to fool with moving rooms or not. Hope you have a great trip!!!Checked in 3 days ago, none of my requests were met which were ground floor, 80's. Went to lobby after getting off DME and changed from building 3, second floor to building 4 and at least got my ground floor room. Sad that I am not on a new but I am in my favorite location which is facing the lake.
Still nice that you got a lake view room!Checked in 3 days ago, none of my requests were met which were ground floor, 80's.

I just got the email telling me my room is ready for tonight and we got the third floor of Building 4 (60's). Is it worth checking at the front desk when we arrive tonight to see if there are any renovated rooms?
First off, how many people are in your party. If I didn't have three adults with me last time I went I would have stayed in one of the regular rooms and hoped for the 60's section. The new rooms are nice, but they are not going anywhere. If your using the room just to sleep in I would suggest just staying put.I just got the email telling me my room is ready for tonight and we got the third floor of Building 4 (60's).

I would ask, doesn't hurt to try! Had you sent a faxed request?I just got the email telling me my room is ready for tonight and we got the third floor of Building 4 (60's). Is it worth checking at the front desk when we arrive tonight to see if there are any renovated rooms?
I would suggest, if you want a refurbed one, to send the fax, make a call and also call five days before and just request either 90's or 80 but don't give any more details then that and your odds go up.It's just the two of us, and we're usually camper-outers and spend all our time in the parks, but this trip is a surprise trip for my husband's birthday tomorrow, so I'd like a renovated room if possible. It's all luck of the draw though!
Honestly my favorite room is in the 60's. I don't know the building but it's the same side with the bar on the back side facing AoA because you can see Illuminations and Star Wars fireworks from the room.I called Orbitz and had them put in a request. When I called Disney, they said they couldn't access my reservation because it was third-party.

When I get back there, it will be my go to room. Next two trips will be BW and BLThis is the exact location we like too!!
I’m carefully reading to see how refurb requests go as I’m not anticipating more than 1 more building open for our Jan trip and many of those are preferred rooms. I’m starting to question if I might want to request this area one last time and wait for our Sept trip to stay in a refurbed room.
I'm hoping for a room in the 70's that's refurbished, but if I don't get one I would like to be on the back side of the 50's where we could maybe see the fireworks.Honestly my favorite room is in the 60's.
