Check-In Questions

When you arrive at your choice of WDW resort hotels, be ready with your list of questions upon check-in.  When you give them your name be sure and add that you made special requests due to the person you care for.  Explain their condition and the importance of these requests.  Always be kind and respectful when speaking with cast members for this makes a positive impression and gives you a much better chance of receiving your requested accommodations.

Also, remember depending upon the time of year and how early you made your reservations will have a direct impact to what the person at the check-in desk is able to do.

Be sure and ask the following...

• Did we receive a handicapped room?
• Were we able to have a room close to the main building of the resort?
• Is our room close in proximity to a bus stop?
• If they are unable to meet these requests, ask if they will move you as soon as a closer or more accommodating room becomes available.  That is a possibility.

Speaking from experience, it does matter where your resort room is located.  There was only one trip that we were not able to receive a room close to the main building upon check in. They told us two days in to our trip that we could move and we politely refused.  That was a mistake.  By the end of the week and having to walk over 10 minutes to get a drink or get to transportation, we realized we should have moved.  It's really not that much trouble and the resort will even assist you.  Don't make the same mistake.

The resort room is where you will call home throughout the duration of your visit and should be in a good location for the one you care for as well as yourself.
