Hey Terry!
There are a few ways to request a particular location within Disney's Art of Animation Resort... or any other resort for that matter.
First, and by far the easiest, is to simply have your request noted directly to your reservation. This way you will be sure your requests will be downloaded directly to the resort. You can have this request added by calling the Disney Reservation Center at
(407)934-7639. The second way to request a specific room location is to fax the room assigner no earlier than 5 days prior to your check-in. In this fax you should include your name, address, telephone number, reservation number, the dates of your stay and your request.
The final way to submit a room request is when you complete your online check-in. During this process they will often ask if you prefer a certain location. For example, when checking in at Disney's Animal Kingdom Resort they ask which savannah you would like to view.
A couple of notes about room requests:
- Don't requests 4-5 different things. Pick your most important 1-2 requests and just submit those.
- Don't request something that is contradictory to your reservation. For example, do not request a preferred view or location when you have only booked a standard view or location.
- If there is a specific reason you are making this request make sure to state it.
Remember, all of these request types are just that... requests. There is no guarantee they will be able to accommodate your request.
I hope this helps with your planning. If you have any more questions about your resort reservations or any other aspect of your Walt Disney World vacation please come back and see me.
Wishing you a
*MAGICAL* vacation and a pixie-dusted day!
