I plan to take your advice and fax a room request before my trip. Is 5 to 7 days before still the appropriate time frame?
Yeah if you just want mansions you have a high chance of getting that. If you get too specific it may be hard to achieve.
Yes, but when it gets down to a week I'd send the fax confirming garden view and ask mansions. I would not get too picky, but say words like near this, or about this area. Here at WDW we do try to make magic happen whenever we can!
Do I need to make a room request if I have a preferred room?
