    How do I request bed rails for our stay at Disneys Animal Lodge Kingdom as we are travelling with a 3 year old?

    Jambo Richard, and welcome to planDisney! I recently requested bed rails for my nephew on our last trip together, so I’d be happy to talk about getting one for your kiddo. After all, everyone needs their beauty rest after those long park days!

    The easiest way to request bed rails is to chat with a Cast Member through the My Disney Experience app. Open the app, select the ☰ icon in the lower right corner, and scroll down to Chat With Us under Help & Feedback. A Cast Member can note the request on your reservation. I see your trip is coming up very soon, so if you don’t have time to do this before you leave, you can always call Housekeeping from the in-room phone, and they can bring bed rails.

    There are a few really fun things happening at Disney World this summer that I didn’t want you to miss! First off, Disney Resort hotel guests get complimentary water park admission on check-in day, which is the practically perfect way to kick off your vacation. Both water parks are open in August, so whether you prefer the winter theming and thrills of Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach or the tropical vibes and Surf Pool at Typhoon Lagoon, you’ve got options!

    Second, Cool KID SUMMER is happening in all four theme parks, with activities like crafting with Clarabelle in Hollywood Studios and dancing with Stitch in Magic Kingdom. There’s even a limited-time Wilderness Explorers badge you can earn in Animal Kingdom.

    The last thing I wanted to mention is to take a picture of the activity schedule when you get to Animal Kingdom Lodge. My nephew loves the String of Memories Activities, where you can collect beads throughout the day by learning from the Cultural Representative Cast Members. It's a great way to find out more about the resort's animals and get a fun keepsake to take home.

    Safe travels to Disney World next week! And if you have any other questions, we’ll always be here for you at planDisney.
