Bonjour Julie!
Merci for this wonderful question, and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet! I always get so excited whenever I see fellow francophones in our queue, so I am thrilled to be answering your question today.
Disney Resort hotels are, in my opinion, a must when visiting the Walt Disney World Resort, and it always feels like the time spent at Disney is too short! Thankfully, you can modify your reservation and add days to your stay by logging into your
My Disney Experience account. All you have to do is go to the "My Plans" section and locate your Resort hotel reservation. Next to the booking, there should be a "Change Reservation," which will allow you to make various changes to your reservation, such as the length of your stay. As for your room, you should be able to keep your same room with no issue.
If you would like to make your visit extra magical, however, I highly suggest booking an extra night at a different Resort! Indeed, I love planning split stays as you get to experience the theming and amenities of another Resort, and the Walt Disney World Resort has so many unique Resorts to choose from! On my last visit to the Walt Disney World Resort, I booked a single night at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge in Kidani Village and got to enjoy the pool and admire the view of the savanna. Plus, many Resort hotels include incredible restaurants, and Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge has some of my absolute favourites on property!
Sanaa and
Boma - Flavors of Africa are must-do's in my family, so I hope you will get to experience some of Disney's signature dining experiences as well.
I hope this was helpful, Julie, and that you will have the best vacation ever on your upcoming Walt Disney World trip. If you have any other questions or need more dining recommendations, please don't hesitate to reach out. As Remy says: "Vous serez toujours la bienvenue chez Remy!"
À bientôt et bon appétit,
Ariane
