Also just to add a little more info, one of the children has epilepsy/autistic tendencies, he's 4 and his 1st Disney visit.
Originally Posted By MickeyMommy Hi dizmomof3, I am no expert, but I would call and request connecting rooms, and ask them to note that your child has a health problem and is why connecting rooms are so important. We have always been able to get connecting rooms when we have asked, but they always say they can't guarantee them. E-mailing vacation planning with your needs might help too. Both my boys have autism, and they love the DLH. My youngest is always very wary of new hotels, but he walked into the DLH like it was home the very first time we took him there. There is such a good vibe at this place. We have always gotten a DTD view room in the Sierra tower. He loves watching the coming and goings of people thru DTD. Have a wonderful time!

But you can check in by phone I heard after 6 am get the dlr number and verify you can check in by phone and you will be set.. We alway get to the resorts before 10 am and we have always got what we wanted.. A lot of people want connecting rooms so thats why they do this,, Any way thats what I heard .. cant hurt to try this..

Basically it's first come, first served. Unless there's a secret Batline somewhere most of us don't know about... But if someone has this early check in phone number it would be great if you'd share it.

If you have them note that you require your connecting rooms due to medical conditions you won't be bumped out by someone requesting it at check-in. There is also no "early check in" by phone allowed. Have a great trip!
