When myself and my family head to the Caribbean Beach next week we will be a party of 2 couples and my single sister. She is 17 and we had planned for her to be in her own room, including paying the single supplement (or however disney does this) for her.

However, the rules state very clearly that nobody under 18 can stay in a room on their own. When i rang disney about this they said that as long as she is in an room with an adjoining door to my mum's room. Will they sort this out at check in, or will it be a big problem? Has anybody else had experience of travelling with older 'children' and having their own room? Was it a big issue? I thought some american schools/sports teams etc take children to disney world and so they must have their own room?

Thanks in advance.

Well when you booked it you should have put one of the couples in her room just to offset the single surcharge (although I didn't even know WDW charged that). Also so that you didn't have to pay for 4 adults in your one room.

She'll be fine in her own room because she is with your parents. My parents always stay in their own room and me and my younger sister always stayed in our room. When we were younger and I had friends we were fine. Now me, my boyfriend, and sister stay in our own room and my parents stay in another.

How would Disney have a clue who is sleeping in which of the three rooms? Is she a completely separate reservation in her own name?

If you got a room-only, they don't charge a single supplement, they charge 'per room' and charge a supplement for more than 2 adults in the room.

September of 2005 my daughter stayed in her own room (adjoining) at All Star Movies and she was just under 2 years old =)


But then I just reserved 2 rooms and requested they be adjoining. They took care of it at the front desk and didn't really ask who was sleeping where.


They seem more particular these days though. We are going in December and taking my wife's parents down with us. Disney wouldn't let me book the second room in my way. Basically said it HAD to be my in-laws name on it. They were nice enough to let me pay for it of course (fancy that), and send all the financial information to my in-laws (would not send it to me, I even asked if they could just have their address listed as my own... no dice). Had to warn them not to open the envelope. Overall kinda irritating.

The problem isn't neccessarily who is sleeping in which room, of course disney aren't going to check that, it's more to do with having the right key to the world card to enter parks and leave again etc etc.

Thanks for the advice :)

If all of the rooms are on one reservation, they SHOULD be able to key all the KTTW to match all the rooms! (At least they did for us when I had two rooms on one reservation, and told us they COULDN'T another time because the two rooms were on different reservations (but that one was ok because they were connecting rooms and we just left the door between open!))

This is just a thought about why they may be a little more picky. Just like planes and other things Homeland Defense these days are more and more involved in things. About 2 years ago we noticed a change around here when we tried to stay places in two seperate rooms. And we also went to DL twice and WDW once lately. I am told that the changes are a little more country wide, with some states a little more ahead of others. Hotels need to know encase of fire or threats how many are in each room. And again I think it was probably always something they needed to really know but it was not inforced but homeland security is coming down harder and harder on all hotels. I know for us we had some of the same issues in WA.
