I have an upcoming trip to CS for July 16-21 and have a bit of a dilemma in regards to my room request strategy. My dilemma basically being that I have no strategy. It's just my husband and I celebrating our anniversary, and we've selected a standard view room with two queens (free dining promotion). Never stepped foot onto CS before, and I have made no room requests of any kind at this point.
I got the "start your check-in now" email this morning since we are now 29 days out, and I am seriously debating forgoing the early check-in and just checking in upon arrival and inquiring with the CM about a room close to transportation. Since we have no mobility issues or special requirements, I figure we may even have a chance (however slight!) of an upgrade if we keep our requests simple and just check in onsite. We also will be arriving super early, like 9:15 AM, so I don't see online check-in benefiting us anyway since a room is unlikely to be ready that early.
Does this seem like an okay strategy given our circumstances? Or, do you have a suggestion for a good building or section of the resort to request? We are super excited to experience a new resort and all the new amenities, even if we end up with a parking lot view!
