Greetings Robin!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It sounds like you are going to have a fairly large party joining you on your trip. One of the most entertaining times my family had on a Disney vacation was with a party of nine!
Since you have a lot of Mouseketeers to look after, I can understand why you want to try to keep them close together! Most of the rooms at the Disney Resorts have connecting doors; this includes the Deluxe Studio Villas. Often, they are connected to a 1-Bedroom Villa, and combined create the option of a “2-Bedroom Lock-off Villa.” This option is available at almost all of the
Villa Resorts. To request adjoining rooms, please contact
Walt Disney World Resort Reservations at (407) 939-5277 in advance of your stay. While the request is not guaranteed, Cast Members will do their best to accommodate you!. Remember that adjoining rooms will be close to each other - either next door or across the hall. Connecting rooms will have an internal door that connects them.
If you would like everyone to stay together, consider a 2-Bedroom Deluxe Villa. Not only will you all be in the same room, but you can enjoy one of my favorite things about the Villas - the convenience of having a home-away-from-home! These Villas come with a fully equipped kitchen, living room, multiple bathrooms, and a washer and dryer.
If you have any additional questions, please don’t hesitate to come back and
ask us. I wish you a magical vacation!
