Hello, Denise!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! I have to say you are the COOLEST Fairy Grandmother in the world! I know you are going to have an UNFORGETTABLE TIME with your family on your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation!
You are going to LOVE staying at
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside Alligator Bayou section! In order to answer your question, I want to define adjoining rooms and connecting rooms. Adjoining rooms are two rooms right next door to each other, and connecting rooms are two rooms that have a door inside each room so you are able to walk between the two rooms without going into the hallway. Based on these definitions, I am VERY happy to inform that you CAN request adjoining AND/OR connecting rooms in the Alligator Bayou resort section!
To request adjoining (or connecting) rooms, all you have to do is call (407) W-DISNEY and speak with a very helpful Cast Member to assist you. I also highly recommend you make this request before you arrive because rooms are typically assigned before check-in.
If you have other questions, please let me know!
Have MAGICAL day!
Wes
