Connecting Rooms at POFQ

[jobie61]

When requesting connecting rooms, what are the odds having getting the room request. If they are unable to provide connecting rooms, will they typically move you to another moderate resort that can provide connecting rooms.

I'll be checking into the French Quarter on Friday, is there anythng that can be done now to insure connecting rooms. I tried calling the resort directly and they sent me back to the central reservations. I already have the wording Guaranteed Connecting rooms on the reservation, but it also says in the fine print that they can't guarantee room requests.

Do you think there will be much availability at this time of year or with the Free dining the resort will be booked.

Thanks in advance.

They generally won't move you to another resort if they can't grant a request. Really the only 100% guarantee would be if you have one adult and more children than one room can accommodate. Really, any other configuration you could put one adult in each room with some of the kids.
Disney will do its best to grant all requests, and they do better at it than most other hotels, but if there are no connecting rooms available they can't make a pair appear. You could ask to be moved to another resort, but there's no guarantee that hotel would have availability either; and if the only properties that did have connecting rooms available cost more than POFQ, you'd have to pay the difference.

And thank you VERY much for knowing the difference between 'adjoining' and 'connecting' rooms!

Thanks for the reply. Does anyone have any idea on how booked the hotels are at this time of year. We will be staying from 8/25 - 9/2.

I talked to CRO today about a December reservation and was told that they could no longer guarantee connecting rooms for families with less than FOUR children (we have three). Bummer!! That killed my plan to book CSR connecting rooms, and I booked one room at the Poly instead. Why do you suppose they came up with a crazy policy like that?

I wonder how often they aren't able to grant this request.
