There is nothing worse than getting to your Disney World hotel after a long day of travel, only to realize that your room is in the BACK of the resort because you forgot to request the location you wanted. BUT Disney might have actually made it way easier to submit these hotel requests.

When you are staying at a Disney World hotel, you’ve always been able to contact Disney to make certain requests, but it looks as though that whole process just got way simpler.

One of our team members was looking at their upcoming Disney World hotel reservation when they noticed that there were new screens for room requests showing on the My Disney Experience App that are now much more specific.

When looking at your reservation, you can now select the specific areas of the hotel you would prefer to stay in. In this new system, you can submit up to two requests for your room right in your reservation on the app. This screen will also change depending on the hotel you are staying at. For example, if you are staying at one of the hotels on the Skyliner loop, you’ll be able to request a room close to the Skyliner, etc.

However, this update gets even better! Because there is another screen that allows you to select a checkbox that says, “Please prioritize having my room ready early over these room requests.” This gives you even more ability to choose exactly what works best for you and your group. So, if you are getting to the resort early, then your biggest priority might be getting access to your room as quick as possible. In that case, you would click that checkbox, and if a room were to pop up earlier in the day but did not meet your requests, you would still be given that room.

However, if the request, such as floor level or resort location, is very important to you, then you can leave that box blank, so Disney knows to prioritize meeting your requests over getting you a room as quick as possible.

Now, these requests are still not guaranteed, so if you need to be on a specific floor or area of the hotel for a medical reason or accommodation, you can always reach out to Disney or call the resort to help make sure that they are aware of the accommodations you need.

This change should also make checking into your hotel easier, since all of your requests will be preset on your reservation, meaning that you do not have to make these requests as you are checking in.

We love that Disney is making the guest experience even easier with this change, and we hope to see more updates like this in the future. We will continue to bring you all the news from Disney World and beyond, so stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more!
