Booking Adjoining and Connecting Rooms
Disney will not guarantee adjoining or connecting rooms unless there is a specific need, such as two adults traveling with more children than the room size allows. In these instances, Disney will guarantee a connecting room to ensure the adults and children have access to each other.
Otherwise, when an adjoining or connecting room is requested, Disney and Cast Members will do their best to accommodate your request.
What are Adjoining Rooms?
Adjoining rooms are two separate rooms located next to each other, but do not necessarily have an interior door connecting the rooms.
To book adjoining rooms at Disney World, you can use their online reservation system to make multiple room reservations. Then call later to add the request for adjoining rooms. While there is a box to add requests when booking online, it’s best to confirm your request by phone.
Alternatively, you can call Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Reservations at (407) 939-1936 and request adjacent rooms while booking.
As availability varies, adjoining room requests are not guaranteed, but Disney will do their best to accommodate your preferences.
What are Connecting Rooms?

Connecting rooms at Disney World have a door between them, allowing you to move between the rooms without going into the hallway.
To request connecting rooms, call the Disney Reservations Center at (407) 939-1936 to have a note added to your reservation mentioning your preference for connecting rooms.
Keep in mind that while Disney will make an effort to honor your request for connecting rooms, these requests cannot be guaranteed.
When booking online, make your room reservations separately, and then call at a later time to add the request for connecting rooms. Don't hesitate to follow up with your request closer to your stay, as it will help ensure that your preferences are noted.
Remember, booking adjoining or connecting rooms at Disney World is subject to availability. Plan early and communicate your preferences when making reservations to increase your chances of getting rooms that meet your needs.
The Easiest Way to Book Connecting or Adjoining Rooms
A phone reservation is the easiest way to book connecting or adjoining rooms because you can ensure the reservations are linked and request is noted. You can book your rooms by calling Walt Disney World Resort Hotel Reservations at (407) 939-1936. The Cast Member will help you book multiple rooms while linking your reservations together. They will also walk you through any nuances related to the locations and availability of rooms for the specific resort you desire.
Remember to have your preferred room types, travel dates, and guest details readily available before making the call to ensure a smooth booking process.
Keep in mind that regardless of how you book, you need to book and pay for each room separately as different transactions. After booking both rooms, make sure to put another adult's name as the main guest in the second room to differentiate the reservations.
Selecting the Right Resort and Room Types
Before booking two rooms at Disney World, it's essential to select the right resort to meet your needs. Consider factors such as your budget, preferred amenities, and overall vacation preferences.
A Disney Travel Agent can help you understand room capacity requirements, room locations and availability for connecting or adjoining rooms. Importantly, they can also handle all of the calls to Disney for you!
When planning your Disney World vacation, choosing the right room type is crucial, especially if you need to book two rooms for your family or group. Disney World Resort offers a variety of room types and booking options, so you can find the perfect accommodations for your party.
It’s important to remember the room types can dictate the likelihood of Disney’s ability to accommodate your room request. Typically, you will need both rooms to be the same type. For example, it’s more difficult to find a standard room connecting to a preferred room.
