Hi Sarah!
Welcome back to planDisney.
It's always a pleasure to assist my fellow guests from the UK, and this is a good question about room requests.
I know that you have a couple of options during the
Online Check-In Service, but I have never found these to be specific enough for my liking! Like you said, you only really get one option - one or nothing!
Another way to make a room request would be to call
Disney Resort Hotel Reservations on UK freephone number: 0800 16 90 730. If you made your reservation with a different tour operator, they can probably put a request in for you.
Please note that all requests are welcome but cannot be guaranteed.Sometimes I have used a 3rd-party travel company such as Touring Plans who have the facility to send in room requests on your behalf. They have good maps of each Disney Resort hotel so at the very least it gives you a good idea about which room location you would like.
Again, no requests can be guaranteed.
I wish you luck, and hope you secure the room with the view and location you are happy with! Please come back if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday at Walt Disney World!
Sue
