    We are planning our 52 anniversary at Wilderness Lodge in 2027. We are looking for a Riverside room, upper floors. What is the best way to make reservations per those criteria?

    Welcome to planDisney, Mark! Wow! That's a big anniversary, and you want to celebrate in a big way! I love it! A visit to The Most Magical Place on Earth is definitely the way to do it! I'm honored to help you with your question. 

    Disney's Wilderness Lodge is a majestic resort themed after the Pacific Northwest. Although the vibe is rustic, this resort is anything but. It is in Disney's deluxe category and offers all of Walt Disney World's best amenities. To make a specific room request, express your preferences in the notes section of your reservation. Be sure to let them know that you are celebrating your anniversary, as well. 

    Cast Members are unable to guarantee room requests, but my experience has been that they can often accommodate me. To increase your chances, I suggest you call the Walt Disney World Resort Tickets and Hotel Reservations line. Speak to a Cast Member, and they will make sure your requests have been noted on your reservation.

    Mark, I have so many ideas to help make this vacation the most magical ever! I'm glad you've got plenty of time to prepare! Start looking at Disney Fine Dining experiences for a special dinner. There are so many to choose from, but you can't go wrong with any of them! My personal pick would probably be The Boathouse at Disney Springs or Sanaa at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas. If you'd like to have something special delivered to your resort room, Magical Floral and Gifts is the way to go. They are Disney's authorized provider and offer everything from bouquets to gift baskets.

    Another great possibility is to book Capture Your Moment, a 20-minute private photo session in one of the four theme parks. It would be a great way to commemorate this milestone! I also recommend a Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Party. You get all-you-care-to-enjoy treats and beverages, along with special reserved seating for the nighttime spectacular, Happily Ever After! I can think of no better way to celebrate 52 years with the love of your life than this moment! Pass the tissues! 

    I am so excited for this significant celebration trip next year, Mark! As you continue your planning, I hope you'll come back and see us if you have any more questions. We're always happy to help here at planDisney
