Do they ever upgrade from standard view to a better view?
Virtually never for a points reservation or for a cash reservation made through MS.
Rarely, they may upgrade (or move you to another resort) if what you booked is not available, due to an unexpected maintenance issue.
As a rule no and IMO, the practice of asking for an upgrade like one might at a hotel is inappropriate. There are reports of people asking for an upgrade, getting it and then being charged the extra points.We just purchased a DVC in September. We are planning on using it the first week of December of 19. We bought the poly and we are booking two rooms there. Do they ever upgrade from standard view to a better view?
If you bought direct, contact your saleperson to see if they can help you book those (or any) studios. You are trying to book those very late in the booking season. If you bought resale, better luck next year.Thanks! Don't really care if I get upgraded just was wondering how it all works. I hope buying a DVC was the right choice. I need to book two rooms in December the first week , kinda of worried.
That week is very popular. This year, some dates soldout right at 11 months. Only 72 of 360 studios are lakeview, so unlikely one will be open. Rest are standard. Your best bet is to request Tokelau, one side faces gardens, the other the quiet pool. Some on the end have a partial lake view. The unfavorable standard view is one side of Pago Pago faces the parking lot.
