Hi there, Andrew! Thanks so much for stopping by planDisney - so glad you're here. I'm glad our tips have been helpful in the past, and I'm happy to help clarify some advice about making room requests for your upcoming stay at
Walt Disney World Resort.
Staying at a
Disney Resort Hotel is always my preference when we visit The Most Magical Place on Earth. It makes me feel like we're snugly in the "Disney Bubble" for our entire vacation, so we can just relax and focus on making memories. Depending on where we're staying, we sometimes have a request for a particular location, and it's easy to submit these.
Andrew, you can make room requests by completing
Online Check-In in the
My Disney Experience app. To find this section, start on the home screen and click on the three horizontal lines at the lower right (the "hamburger" menu), then select "Future Plans." Your January 2025 reservation should show on the next screen, along with a blue button that says "Start Check-In Now". You'll walk through several steps to add your contact information and approximate arrival time, then proceed to a new screen that should list a "Room Requests" option when you scroll down.
The available requests vary by resort, and you can select up to two. There is also an option to prioritize having your room ready over these requests, and generally, I select that if our arrival time is before the 4:00 PM check-in time. You can also
call to add any specific requests you have. Requests cannot be guaranteed, but the Cast Members at your resort will do their best to make some magic for you!
I hope this information is helpful for your planning purposes, Andrew! Please feel free to stop by planDisney again anytime if we can help with additional questions. Wishing you a wonderful Walt Disney World vacation!
See Ya Real Soon!
Susan
