Fact or fiction.....Poly adjoining room ????

[krist]

We are going to the Poly in December and want adjoining rooms. Is it true that you can request it, but it is NOT guaranteed? Anyone know.

Thanks!!!!

That is very true. You can request it, but won't neccessarily get it. I know Disney does everything they can, so if you are talking about early December, you have a much better chance that at Christmastime.

If you need more than one bedroom and need to connect, I'd recommend that you stay in a 2bedroom villa. Its cheaper than 2 rooms at the Poly, too.

That's what I was told by 3 cm's. We are going in Dec also and wanted to stay at AKL. We have 4 children 6 and under. I was told that they would try but there is no guarantee. Being in 2 rooms when they are older wouldn't be a problem but it would ruin our vacation now. We ended up getting the 1 bedroom suite for 2 nights.(wasn't going to pay that much for more than a couple nights) And then we will spend the rest of our time at the Poly.

Just so you know, "adjoining" does not mean next door to each other in hotel parlance. It means nearby. If you want two rooms with a door between, you must request "connecting" rooms.

Yep, that is a fact. No matter what any other CM tells you, you are not guaranteed an adjoining room, unless you are the only adult on the trip. Otherwise they figure you can split up and one adult be in a room, and one adult in the other.

Disney does try to accomodate this request, but you need to figure out how you would deal if you do end up in 2 seperate rooms. Would it make your trip miserable, or would it be doable? If you simply cannot stand the thought of being in rooms that do not connect, you should make different plans.

If you ask for adjoining, you may just get rooms that are close to each other. If you want two rooms that are connected, ask for connecting rooms. There are no guarantes. Some times a fax to the room assigner a couple days before arrival will help.

If there are enough kids to make it neccesary to book two rooms, then they will pretty much give you the connecting rooms...otherwise parents would have to split up. I know that back in '01, we traveled to POR with another family. It was in early November so not very busy. We did request connecting rooms so the girls could come and go, without worrying about going outside. We even had two different reservation numbers...one for each family. But Disney was really good about tying the two reservations together and giving us the connecting room.

I am glad you told me about the connecting room.

Disney doesn't ever guarantee connecting rooms except when kids will be in the room by themselves (sorry, having two adults means one can sleep with the kids). Two connecting rooms will have to be vacated the day you arrive. Disney isn't going to let one room empty to wait for you.

However, Disney has a ton of connecting rooms. The best way to almost "guarantee" connecting rooms is to have that as your only request. If you start requesting connecting rooms on the third floor near the elevator in Building A with a unobstructed view and a housekeeper named Madge, you aren't going to get exactly what you want.
