Hi Stacy!
Welcome to planDisney! As a larger family, we have had to book multiple rooms on a few occasions. While some travel companies book multiple rooms under a single reservation, at the
Walt Disney World Resort, each room is considered a separate booking and must be booked individually. If you’d like to do this online, go ahead and book each room separately. Once you have both rooms booked
you can call and have a notation added to each reservation that you are a party traveling together, and you would like to request your rooms be near one another. If you would like a connecting room, you would follow the same process. Please note, this is only a request and is not guaranteed. On most occasions, my requests have been met, but there have been times our rooms have been several floors apart, or even in different buildings. In terms of connecting rooms, Disney Cast Members will do their very best, but they do give priority to requests where the booking is for larger families with children where there is only one adult in each room. We plan for either situation, and sometimes a little break from the rest of the group isn’t a bad idea anyway!
Alternately, you can call Disney at (407) W-DISNEY to make both reservations over the phone and have it noted you are a group traveling together. You could also consider using a Disney Authorized Travel Agent who could book your rooms, flights, and other travel needs.
Whichever way you decide to book, I hope you’ll come back to planDisney with more questions as your trip approaches. We are here to help!
