When you travel to the Disney parks, do you often need two hotel rooms for your party? If there are a lot of you visiting, you might need multiple rooms. Or if you prefer your kids to be in one room while the parents are in another, that can be a tough accommodation without having connecting rooms. Getting connecting rooms for your party can be a convenient way to stay to keep your group together and, in the case of kids, under a watchful eye. But it’s not always easy to ensure you’ll get connecting rooms, until now!
