Hi Rachel, and welcome to planDisney!
It sounds like you’re on the exciting countdown to your Disney vacation. What an incredible time to be planning! In my family, we make the countdown just as much fun as the trip itself. We love watching classic Disney movies inspired by theme park attractions, like
Pirates of the Caribbean or
Haunted Mansion, all while enjoying popcorn from our refillable popcorn buckets we brought home from our last visit. We’ve also been known to scour the internet for vintage Disney Vacation Planning Videos to relive some nostalgia. If you’re looking for even more ideas, check out the
Disney Parks Blog article on creative ways to count down to your vacation.
To request a top-floor room, you can use the
Online Check-In Service available in the
My Disney Experience app. During the check-in process, you’ll find a section for Room Requests. However, these options are limited to preset choices, and a specific “top floor” request might not be available. For the best chance of securing your preferred room location, I recommend skipping online check-in and waiting to speak directly with a Cast Member at your resort’s front desk when you arrive. Cast Members will do everything they can to accommodate your request, even if it means waiting a little longer for your room to be ready. While it’s important to note that requests aren’t guaranteed, you’ll likely spend most of your time enjoying thrilling rides, savoring delicious meals, and taking in breathtaking nighttime shows like
Happily Ever After!
As you continue planning your trip, I’d love to help with other details! Whether it’s choosing the perfect
character dining experience, tracking down my favorite snacks in each park, or deciding which attractions to prioritize for
Lightning Lane return times,
I’m here to assist. There’s so much to see and do, and I’d be thrilled to help make your vacation as seamless as possible.
Enjoy every moment of your countdown, Rachel, and don’t hesitate to reach out with more questions as you plan your incredible Disney getaway!
See you real soon!
