FWIW, I stayed here in November, it was a pretty quiet time and I was plat then. I got an upgraded room with a view. I don't think there is any chance of a suite.

But if you're not there for a conference, you probably won't see much of the room

oh and Sophie you crazy woman, get off here and enjoy your break..

A FYI note re upgrades - in a "resort" or big city property - upgrades often consist of larger rooms, rooms copnsidered to have a "view" (such as hhoope1 mentions below) or additional/increased amenities. (supply of bottled water, etc).

I am at a property now where the "upgrade" was not a suite - but a huge corner room with 2 walls of windows overlooking a river. IMO, far nicer than a suite .

You will often have more success gaining this type of upgrade than a "suite" - and if you are going to Disney with the kids; a view of the fireworks with no crowds may be the best upgrade imaginable!
