Guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels can make certain complimentary requests that may make getting around a little easier. During online check-in, available room-location preferences can include being near an elevator or lobby, though requests are not guaranteed and may affect when a room is ready.

Some location categories, including preferred areas and certain views, can carry an added charge depending on the resort. The free preferences available in online check-in are separate from those paid room categories.

Once checked in, guests may also be able to request practical in-room items through the Hey Disney! device, by calling the front desk, or by visiting it. Availability varies, but options can include a crib or pack ’n play, highchair, liquid dish soap, and, in some cases, a Diaper Genie.

For split stays between Disney Resort hotels, Bell Services can transfer luggage when it is dropped off before 10 a.m. Guests can call to have bags delivered after arriving at the next resort, although the transfer may take until 5 p.m.; keeping daytime essentials with you is a smart precaution. Bell Services is complimentary, though the source notes that its writer tipped the bell staff. If you’re planning a Disney World resort stay, these are useful services to ask about during check-in.
