Just a word of cation and this goes for all hotels and not just Disney ones. There are three terms that are used to describe rooms that you should be aware of.
Adjacent - across the hall from each other
Adjoining - rooms side by side with no door between them
Connecting- Adjoining rooms with doors connecting them together.

So if you want a door between both rooms request Connecting rooms as apposed to Adjoining rooms which are only rooms that are side by side.

We made that mistake once, never again. "Connecting" is the key as Bill says. Another thing to remember is that you can only "request" connecting rooms, they are not guaranteed. We've been lucky since Pam at Kingdom Konsultants, when making our reservation, says something like parents and kids in 2 different rooms so connecting is really necessary.

Also remember that Disney will not guarantee connecting rooms except for families with young children. Last trip one CM actually gave us a hard time because my oldest daughter was 10 and considered and adult so they figured we had 3 adults and didnt require connecting rooms:hammer: Sounds good to me..I will just put my 10 year old in a room with her 9, 7 & 4 yr old siblings:drevil: Most of them will do whatever they can to give you what you request.

Just to clarify...

First, Bill Smugs is 100% correct with the terminology.

Second, most but not all room categories at each of the Disney Resorts offer a limited number of connecting rooms. For example, at the Moderate Resorts:

A Standard View Room can connect with another Standard View Room or a King Bed Room.
A Water View Room can connect with another Water View Room or a King Bed Room.

A King Bed Room cannot connect to another King Bed Room.
A Standard View Room cannot connect to a Water View Room.

While the Resorts attempt to fulfill all Guest requests, attributes such as view, location, specific bedding, and proximity to other rooms may be noted but can not guaranteed.

Connecting rooms can only be guaranteed if there is 1 or 2 adults and any number of children (age 3-17) staying in 2 rooms with the ablility to connect. If there is 3 adults between the two rooms, connecting rooms can be requested but not guaranteed.

Hope this helps! :sohappy:

Thank you JPVonDrake that is very helpful.

Hmm. Learned something new today. An adjoining room is NOT a connecting room. That might explain a few things as to why I always have trouble getting rooms with a shared door when I need them. (not just in WDW either)

Aloha!

When I went in 2000/2001 we stayed with my grandma and grandpa. We had 2 rooms, we asked for them to be right beside each other. Anyways, there was 2 doors that were placed between the 2 rooms.


I don't know if that would help you but they do offer it as a choice.

We've made that mistake too - adjoining vs. connecting - who knew?:veryconfu
The other thing you might want to look into are the suites at the values.

Thanks for the info! I love it when you post... very informative!

We have requested 2 connecting rooms at Pop Century, 1 king and 1 double, for my wife and I and our 2 kids. After reading your post I thought we would be fine until I realized my "kids" are now adults, so we'll have to wait and see.
