room question

[grumpy&princess]

We are staying at ASMU when we booked the CM said we have guaranteed conjoining rooms. From what I read there is no guaranteed conjoined rooms. Our family consists of 2 adults and 6 kids. Will that weigh in on us getting conjoined rooms? I know that they dont have a door inbetween rooms only that they are next to each other.

I think no , since you have 2 adults, you can put one adult with some kids in two completely separated rooms. If you had just one adult with the kids, then I think you'd have more of a guarantee.

I have always been told there is no guarantee, but I have never had my request for rooms that have an interior connecting door denied -- 2 adults, 3 kids, in 2 rooms.

I will be requesting the same at AS Music in just a few days. I am willing to switch to any other value resort, or upgrade from standard to preferred, in order to get my connecting rooms. My DH will be returning from 8 months in Afghanistan and I'd like to spend my vacation with him!

connected rooms DO have a door in between. Adjoining rooms are nearby. I've heard if the kids outnumber the adults/over 18 folks then they do their best to guarantee connecting rooms. However I think ASMu has the least connecting rooms for a value so you might want to really consider if that's where you want to stay. We've had connecting rooms every time we've requested them except once. The one time however was over Christmas holidays at CSR

I believe that if you read the terms and conditions you will find that requests are just that- requests. Connecting rooms are not guaranteed, but they will try very hard to provide them for large families with only 2 adults on the reservation.

But you will have to be clear with your terminology. There's no such term as 'conjoined' in the Disney reservation lingo AFAIK. There is connecting (an interior door between two adjacent rooms) and there is adjoining (2 rooms next to each other with no interior door). As PPs have already noted, what you want are connecting rooms.

we didnt request the connecting rooms the CM told us that we would have guaranteed connecting rooms. we had just asked to be near each other.

The week after July 4th a few years ago a coworker went down to WDW with her sister, neice, neice's husband and their six kids (his, hers, and theirs). They had made requests for two connecting rooms for the neice's family and then a room close by for my coworker and her sister (the kids grandmother). The plan was for the parents to be in a room with the two y/o and 5 y/o, the four older kids to be in the connecting room and my coworker and her sister in their own room. When they arrived at AS Music they were in three separate buildings. After alot of discussing they managed to get all three rooms in one of the Jazz buildings, but they were not connecting, only close to each other, with one on a different floor. They round up with the parents and two younger kids in one room, then a few doors down the sister was in a room with the two older boys, then my coworker was on the floor below and down a couple of rooms with her and the two older girls. When the neice argued at checkin that they had been guaranteed connecting rooms because of the six kids, the response was that connecting rooms can never be guaranteed and are only requests and since they had four adults among them, they could just arrange for an adult to be in each room.

As others have said, they will do everything they can to give you connecting rooms, but it isn't guaranteed. If the CM told you connecting rooms were guaranteed, he/she may not have noted it on the reservation. I would call and have the request added to your reservation because if it's not on there, they have no way of knowing that that's what you want. If you check in and are not given connecting rooms, ask if they are available since it can get overlooked. Good luck.

The only thing guaranteed is a room on Disney property. No matter what a CM has told you or what the reservation says. It all is in the fine print and that is the important information to know.

This! My Disney TA has told me to stay away from the Music resort if I want connecting rooms. Many of them were used to make the Family Suites, so they have fewer to go around.

Disney will do their best, but if you look on their web site it states that connecting rooms are a request only, and not guaranteed. I wish the CMs at the call center would stop telling people they are guaranteed. Maybe they do it to reach their quota and not lose a reservation?

Absolutely call back and make sure you have a request in for CONNECTING rooms if you want a door between the two rooms. And be sure it is your first priority request. They will do whatever they can to get you connecting rooms but they are NOT guaranteed.
