I used this tool when planning our trip to DisneyWorld last October. It helped out so much since we had never been to DW before. We got a perfect room with a beautiful view of the river. My sister got an accessable room right next to ours.... We were also two minutes away from the boat dock. Loved it... Thanks!!! 👍😃🙌
I've had a lot of success with this. I put a list of what I want in order of priority in the notes. I didn't do this on our first trip and we were not crazy about our room. Ex for Pop century on our last trip. Requested room 4437 and got it. 1. Buildings in order of preference 4, 5, or 10 2. Top floor room 3. Room with a bathtub 4. Near elevator if I can't get near my exact room requested in building 4 5. Facing away from the pool 6. Close to bus and dining hall We had an amazing view of Epcot and HS fireworks out of our window. You could watch from the balcony of any room close to here. It made the trip for my son.
Have used this on my last two trips. Got the exact room once and a room very close by the second time. Won't ever take a trip without using this again!
Worked like a charm both times we used your room request service. 2015 reserved a Bay Lake Tower MK view 1 BR. I asked for the topmost room of this type available. We got just what we asked for on the 12th floor (Rm 8226). 2017, reserved a 2BR at Old Key West near Hospitality House. Requested a 1st floor room because we had an ECV and used your General Description of the room and requested dedicated 2BR units by number. We got just what we wanted, the room was perfectly located (Rm 2314). I'll never get a room without using your tool!!
How can you use the system if you have two rooms reserved? Just look for a preferred area and make sure it has a connecting room? Any easier way to do it?
Thank you for this video! I added a room request through your site but I was unsure how exactly Disney received that request, so this video answered all of my questions. It's so helpful that you fax it for us! And thanks for the tip to NOT put in room requests via Disney's online check-in. I will be sure not to do that!
Well, Disney faxes things apparently, which is why we do :) There have been some whisperings that they'll move away from the fax system and if they do we will contact them by whatever means they prefer. - Brian
Are there any plans to do this for Universal hotels too? I've done it for the disney hotel we're staying in so fingers crossed! Loving the site, so so helpful in planning our upcoming trip.
Question- we’re going Christmas week and I’m thinking we should get our room request in earlier to have a better chance of getting our preferred room. Is there a way to download the room request fax?
Unfortunately no there isn't. I doubt requesting a room any earlier will help, however. The rooms aren't generally assigned to incoming guests until a day or two before your arrival. Yes, the availability may be lower, but there probably isn't any way around that. - Brian
We will be staying at Pop Century next week and I was trying to see where the accessible rooms are and since the renovation you have not updated your rooms. I was hoping to make a request but could not locate where those rooms were and those that have roll in shower with preferred room with 2 queen beds. Please update these when you can I would greatly appreciate it.
Very helpful! I'll be doing this in the next couple of weeks. Do you know if you'll be updating CBR photos? I've a sneaky feeling the room I wanted will now have a stocking great gondola tower in front of it. 😫 If no photos available is there a map of where the towers are to help avoid them?

Love your videos. I just got a 2 year subscription to Touring Plans yesterday, and it's already been so much help!
"If there's someone already in the room, they're not going to kick them out for you. I've tried." Lol Brian! 😂
I used it to book a Riverview room at French quarter. So much fun
Thanks for the video! I get how it works now and plan to use it for the next trip!

Another helpful video. Thanks Brian
I love Touring Plans! I used this feature and requested a room through Touring Plans for my trip last month. I got the exact room I requested!
Love touring plans! You help make the countdown better! The planning part is so much fun for me!

These videos are great! I've been looking for a new planning site and I think I've found it! ❤️

Thank you for this Service. I set one up on Friday! If I bypass the check-in desk, who do I get a celebration button from?
You can get one from the hotel's concierge. - Brian
Thank you, i did a request for my May trip and i wasn’t sure on the online checkin option for the room via Disney.
I’ve used this tool many times and I would say 9 times out of 10 I got the room or a similar room to what I requested.
Great video. I had no idea you offered this service. Haven’t stayed on a Disney property yet but maybe someday 😊
youtube i love the touring plans they helped me a lot last vaca
how will this tool work if Disney stops using fax technology? besides, does anybody fax anything anymore, other than Touring Plans?🛎🛎🛎

We don't currently plan on expanding to Universal, but eventually we would like to do that. - Brian

I’m a new dvc member. Can I make a room request here at touring plans?
How dare you wear a BART shirt!😂😂
