Noise from connecting door?

[Cpdiswinter]

last year we had a great ground floor room with bunk beds facing otter pond at WL. The problem was that connecting door! There was a baby on the other side and we could hear everything. Is that always the case with the connecting door or was that baby in a crib right there? Also, do all bunkbed rooms have that connecting door or could I request one without it?

Thanks! And I plan on traveling with earplugs but the biggest problem with that is then I don't really hear my own children

Usually you can always hear noise more from next door with a connecting door. It's luck of the draw whether you have noisier neighbors or not. Rolling up a towel at the bottom of the door helps.

We always request a room with no connecting door. If given a room with one we asked to change rooms. Had a bad experience with a connecting room at GF years ago ...never again!

Open your side of the connecting door and place a rolled towel on the floor in there. Be sure to re-lock the door. This helps a little but really you are going to hear the neighbour if they are loud. I really dislike connecting rooms.

I've stayed in plenty of connecting rooms over the years and never had a problem with noise.

Funnily enough, my noisiest Disney resort neighbors were in 2009, at Coronado Springs, in a ground floor room with NO connecting door, to tell you how loud they were. It got bad enough late into the night that I ended up calling the front desk and asking for somebody to please dial their room and ask them to take it down a notch.

While a crying baby can't be stopped kind of like, well, when a person needs to go to the bathroom, there can be other things than a baby that can disturb people in a hotel room. With our non connecting rooms, I have been a witness to a overheard slapping match of a couple where the first wife (not there but on the phone and we were "told" of her voice) accused the second wife of "taking the children from her!" and the first wife wanted to talk to the kids (who were not in the room - don't ask me ages or where they were) and the dad was trying to calm both wives down and it was ugly for a good twenty minutes. And yes, that was at Disney World on a family's vacation. Just can't escape reality.

We had our worst ever noisy neighbours at POP. I've had more than my fair share of noise at many hotels...not just WDW. At POP we did have a connecting room and the first night was fine but on the second night the neighbours arrived. They were running and screaming in the corridor and then once in the room the screaming continued along with slamming of doors and drawers. The adults never spoke to anyone they yelled and they kept it up until nearly midnight...we said nothing. The next morning they started again around 6am. My DH got up to use the washroom and tripped over something on the floor. Well, to stop himself from falling he put his hand up and it pounded on the connecting door (I swear it was an accident). Instantly the neighbours were quiet and we never heard another sound from them.

We had a problem with this at the Yacht Club. There seemed to be a lot of people, all loud talkers, in the next room well into the late evening. I felt (sort of) bad when my cell phone alarm went off early the next morning because we had to be at MK for rope drop. That woke up their baby who immediately started crying. Oops.

I despise connecting doors! We've had screaming babies (I was losing my mind because it sounded like they were letting it cry it out,which shouldn't be done in a hotel, IMO), people watching some kind of sports that screamed,yelled & loudly clapped for every little thing until 1am, the "loud talking" family that had the tv so loud they had to yell over it. Ugh. If it can be avoided, we will never have a room with connecting door again.

Me too....all of the same. Letting a baby cry it out really bugs me. Once, we could tell by the cry that the baby was not much more than a newborn

Maybe we had the same neighbors! This baby sounded newborn-ish also. I wanted to yell "just feed her or him!". It cried every 3 hours. (After crying for a half hour)

Never had a baby in the next room that we heard, but never had a problem with other noises or people with a connecting door.

Our daughter had a bunkbed room at the WL that did not have a connecting door. It was room 3113.

I had a similar case at the Poly with a family that had a need to yell EVERYTHING to each other (seriously, you're all in one room!). So I think it is a general connecting door issue. It's really pretty annoying.

 

[disnut8]

I guess the answer here would be - what do you do when there is an annoying family/guest, whomever on the other side? In my case, I just let it go in that instance where it happened. It was not comfortable for all of us and I didn't want to intrude on a potential delicate situation.

When do you call that room, when do you address the people in that room, when do you report, when do you ignore? Everyone will have their own opinions.

We had a grea bunkbed room overlooking the pond at WL with no connecting door. It was fourth floor right near elevators which I thought would be noisy but they were not.
