Tell me your connecting room stories - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

We have only requested connecting rooms once. It was for my sister's wedding at the Contemporary Resort. We had 2A/2C and requested to be connected to my parents' room. When we arrived, not only were we not connected or even adjoining rooms, the 2 rooms we SOOOO far apart from each, not even on the same floor. We asked about switching upon arrival and the best they could do was get us on the same floor, albeit still quite a ways away from each other (we were in the garden wing). So, if I ever need to make this request again, I will be hopeful but expect nothing.

We have requested connecting rooms twice and received them both times without incident. Poly and GF. My inlaws were with us both times, so 2 adults and 1 child in one room and 2 adults and one child in the other.
I made the request when I called to book and again when I checked in online.

At CSR we got connecting rooms and my sister was the next room so that was great.
Another time at CSR it was 3 adults and 3 kids and we still got connecting.
But at AKL 2x I've requested and did not get.
1st time I asked to be next to each other (My parents took one of mine), but I wanted him not to feel left out. When I asked they said yes you are next door.
We went up and numerically yes we were but there was a viewing window in hall.
2nd time I travelled with my sister her two children and myself and my 3.
we asked for connecting rooms so we could manage all of them and leave them with eachother etc. when we cked in and went upstairs we were down hall from eachother. I went back downstairs and asked to have room's switched and they did accomodate , but it was a hassle.

POP 8/2010, requested connecting King/2 DBL rooms. DD were 15 and 11 at the time and DW and I were prepared to split with one kid each if our request wasn't honored. We Got the connecting rooms....don't know if booking a preferred room helped with our request. I think in the end, you have to be prepared if you don't get your request.

Prior to purchasing DVC we requested and received connecting rooms twice - one at WL, once at CSR.
