How/ when do you request a certain Disney Resort building/room?

Question

I will be going to Disney World at the beginning of December and was wondering what the best way was to make a room request. I understand that this is at Disney's discretion so I was hoping those with room request success stories can share their secrets. Thanks.

Answer 1

As soon as you book your vacation package, let them know which building and room you'd like to stay in. Also, at least a week or two before you go, call your Resort or your Disney Specialist, if you have one, and remind them of your room request. If you have time, call the night before you leave to see if you can request it or if another family has been assigned to it.

When my boyfriend and I went in August we stayed at Disney's Polynesian Resort. The summer before we stayed in room 1221, and we liked it very much because we had a distant view of Cinderella Castle and the Wishes fireworks at the Magic Kingdom. We requested this room, but then, the day before we left I emailed our Disney Specialist asking if we'd get the room we'd requested. He emailed me back a few minutes later and said, "well, I can put you in that room if you'd like, but right now I have you in room 1516 in the Hawaii Concierge Longhouse." I was extatic. They upgraded us to Concierge! We had a bigger, nicer, newly renovated room, and an incredible view across the Seven Seas Lagoon of the Grand Floridian Resort, the Magic Kingdom, including Cinderella Castle and Space Mountain, and the Contemporary Resort. Every night we had a perfect view of the fireworks and the Electrical Water Pageant. It just made our stay that much more perfect.

Just keep reminding them of your requests, and maybe, if you're lucky, you'll get a special upgrade like us.

Disney is very accomodating. I have never had any trouble with requesting a certain building. It may be harder to specify which room, but you certainly can request a room type (water view, pool-side, etc.) You need to make this request immediately upon making your reservation and make sure that the reservationist puts it into the system.

in any respect-Stars positioned out a sprint extra money for a typical room or you're able to be able to finally end up on the very end of the motel and that stroll from the bus end on your room could be horrific after an afternoon on the parks. additionally, hire a small refrigerator for 10 dollars and shop drinks and rapid snacks in it. additionally, song has remarkable relatives suites that furnish extra beneficial than a ordinary room. Plan on long strains on the bus end as each and all of the hotels share the comparable bus except you reside at Pop Century.

Answer 6

Hi I'm a travel agent. Book through an agent, we usually have priority for this kind of thing, and we really aren't much different price wise over the net. IF you don't want to use an agent, book through the hotel directly and tell them exactly what you want. If you've been before, it helps to tell them that (repeat guests sometimes have priority). Other than that, keep your fingers crossed! Good luck!
