Hey there, hi there, ho there Katharine! Welcome to planDisney, thanks for stopping by with your question. I'm thrilled to help! Looks like you're gearing up for a trip to Walt Disney World Resort. I'm sure you are counting down the days until you're at the Most Magical Place On Earth!
I can understand wanting to book a specific room. My family and I love staying at
Disney's Contemporary Resort. The resort offers Standard View rooms, Theme Park View rooms, Main Tower rooms, and Garden Wing rooms. Theme Park View is important to us, so booking that type of room guarantees us the view.
Katharine, you can make requests for your upcoming stay either during the
online check in process as you mentioned, or by contacting
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations, which is my preference. Though Cast Members do their best to accommodate guests requests when rooms are assigned, they are not guaranteed.
You are going to thoroughly enjoy staying at a Disney Resort Hotel! A few of my fellow panelist and I will be staying at
Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa in the fall and we are looking forward to it! If you plan to visit one (or all) of the Walt Disney World theme parks, then nothing beats the convenience of staying at a Disney Resort hotel. Many resorts are just a hop, skip and a jump to the parks! When I am on vacation, simplicity and ease are top planning priorities for me, so the theme parks being close to the resorts is perfect. Not only are the theme parks near my resort, they’re easy to get to. With several
complimentary resort transportation options, such as buses, boats, monorails and Disney Skyliner, I can get anywhere I need to on Disney property!
I hope this information helps you prepare for an exciting visit to Walt Disney World Resort, Katharine! Thank you again for visiting planDisney. We'll see ya real soon!
Kay
