adjoining rooms

You need to request that you have connecting rooms on your reservation and then I do suggest faxing in the request a few day before check in so that the room co-ordinater can honor your request.

Unless the people in the other room want a seperate reservation, no. You can still request connecting rooms if they have a separate reservation by tying yours into theirs. But no, you do not have to have separate reservations.

I have made the reservations both ways. Just make sure you specify “connecting” rooms and not “adjoining” (from the title of your post) rooms. Adjoining rooms are next to each other connecting rooms have a connecting door.

I've requested several times to have adjoining rooms without any problems at all. Simply asked for them at the time I made the reservation. No follow-ups, no faxing, rooms were right next to each other when I checked in. I understand many people recommend the faxing and alot of additional communication, which I guess doesn't hurt. But, personally, I never experienced the need to do so.

Adjoining rooms are usually not a problem for the resort. Connecting rooms however are. This is why I suggest faxing the request a few days prior to arrival. Disney always does their best to honor the requests, but they don't always come through. If you want rooms with a connecting door, faxing the request a few days prior is a must.

I thought adjoining rooms and connecting rooms were the same thing. I've always asked for "adjoining" rooms and got two rooms which were connected (or adjoined) by a series of two doors, each with it's own deadbolt on the inside of the room.

Adjoining rooms can be either next to one another with or without the door connecting them or they can be across the hall. By requesting connecting rooms you are assured of a connecting door.

Interesting! That's good to know, because I never knew there was a difference. Like I said, I've always asked for "adjoining" rooms, and always got the ones with the connecting doors.

There are people who specifically ask for the connecting rooms because they want a separate room for the kids and this is why they must make sure they ask for the connecting and not adjoining. It's harder to get one that connects with the other.

Hopes this helps to answer your question...
First definitions:
Connecting - two side by side rooms with a door connecting them
Adjoining - two side by side rooms without a connecting door
Adjacent - two rooms near each other, may or may not be side by side
When booking your rooms, ask for your request, then read your confirmation carefully to ensure it was listed correctly. Connecting or adjoining request are listed on your confirmation if entered correctly in the system. These requests are "time stamped" on the internal notes of your reservation on the date they were made.
The resort front desk team will download reservations 1 or 2 days before arrival to start room blocking for requests. They will attempt to fill as may request as they can and will note the "time stamp" of when the request was made. Do keep in mind that groups such as families with young children, guests with disabilities, and Grand Gathering Guest will always get first priority for connecting rooms, regardless of the "time stamp" on the reservation. Also note that not all room categories have connecting rooms.
Please keep in mind that as long as the request was noted correctly and made early enough, faxing or calling the resort itself does little to help grant your request. :wave:

One question. We have 5 adults that will most likely be going to WDW next November. We all want to stay together (it's my family of 4 and my aunt). Does Disney have rollaway beds, or would we have to try for 2 connecting rooms? We'd prefer to stay in the same room, if it's allowed. I've never been with more than 4 before (at least not all together. we've met up with other family members who were off site before). Just curious. We've been debating whether or not to book connecting rooms. We'd like to stay together in the same room simply because of cost factor. If it's avoidable, we'd don't want to pay for an extra room for 1 extra person.

Brent is correct. Disney charges $25 per adult per night over the 2 adult ratio. I would strongly suggest 2 rooms or staying somewhere like a villa for 5 adults. If you need help with making your reservations, I will be more than happy to crunch the numbers for you.
