Yes, and I would pay extra for it.

Yes, but only if it's the same price as other comparable rooms.

No, I simply request a room that's far from the pool or other resort activity.
-
No, noise at the resorts doesn't bother me.

Is it time for Disney to offer "quiet" rooms?
Reading through the "Never, ever again!" thread, I wondered whether Disney has ever considered offering "quiet" rooms to guests who want to avoid children at the resorts.
Most of the complaints seem to revolve around children or teens running around, screaming, crying or making other noise. It would seem to me they could offer these rooms to adults at a premium and people would pay it.
There are adults-only areas on cruise ships -- why not accommodations?
What do you think? Would you like the option of a "quiet" room and would you pay extra for it?
Many visits over 35+ years!

I really don't know how to vote with the selections offered.
When at WDW resorts you are always going to have kids running shouting, crying, laughing, and in general just having fun.
I have had situations where adults have stood outside our door laughing and talking loudly at about midnight. I had to get up and ask that they please quiet down, they left as they were not anywhere near their rooms.
I know it can be bothersome but it can be short lived and you can go back to sleep.
Don't worry be happy...

Some hotels DO offer quiet rooms. We are staying at the Hyatt in MCO for one night this August and I was surprised to see a room option that is basically a "quiet room." The description indicates these rooms have enhanced soundproofing features so you can get work done or rest well with limited disturbance from noises. They cost $20 more than standard rooms.
I would welcome something similar at Disney Resorts. Adult Only areas would not necessarily be any more quiet. It's often rowdy adults that cause noise problems at hotels in my experience.

The only thing I ever really notice is when the door sort of slams shut behind someone (and I know I'm really guilty of it too at times). Wish there was a quieter way to shut the room door.

I voted yes and would pay for it, just because I don't think it would be a bad option.
However, I haven't had any issues with the "normal" noise at resorts so probably wouldn't use the option at this time.

I would totally pay extra for a quiet room. However, not because of any kid noise we have ever encountered, but because of adults who have a few too many and think that gives them the right to disrupt everyone elses enjoyment of the resort!

i hate to come off sounding like a jerk. But you're at Disneyworld. It's an amusmemt park. i expect noise. I want noise. I want kids running around, and going swimming late at night, and coming in at all hours.
I know it can get out of hand, but i guess in all my visits, i have just learned to go w/ it.

I have no choice haha. My kids are young and will make noise.
Having an ASD child, I have a lot of noise tolerance.
However, I find a huge difference between irresponsible parents and a bratty child vs. a sick child, special needs child, or even just too young to console.
We vacationed to a time share in Williamsburg last year and our then 1 year old son got sick. He woke up crying multiple times a night and I tried everything I could to console him. He was just in pain. People called about us, complaining about the sound of footsteps because the only way he would rest is if I held him and paced the floor. I felt badly for our neighbors but some things you cannot control.

My kids are grown and no longer go to WDW with us, however, I still enjoy the young ones enjoying themselves there. Yes, we have been woken up early with noise in the hallways because people do go to the parks earlier than we do but deal with it. If you expect to not hear children being noisy you're vacationing in the wrong place.

I agree! I understand children being noisy - it is what they do - especially in Disney where excitement levels run so high. Parents who do nothing to control children who are acting up is another story.
I guess they COULD provide adults only sections in some of the resorts (at a price for sure) but even that won't help when the grown ups are clueless.

I agree with others...how would this be guaranteed. What I expect from "quiet" may be different than the next persons "quiet". In other words how quiet. (Including wildlife, mouse keeping carts etc?)
For me the only truly bothersome noise is the slamming of the doors and the flushing of the toilets. (But that's also mild as well, either that or Im just used to it...or more willing to put up with it. )

The only resorts I have ever considered noisy were the value resorts we stayed in a couple of times. In particular All star Movies and Music. The way the buildings are built, voices echo off of them and the place is full of families with noisy kids and teens. I despise the value resorts and haven't stayed in them in over 10 years and never will again so it is a non-issue.
I don't remember ever having noise bother us at any of the Deluxe resorts but of course we usually don't get back to the room until late, often after midnight; and we leave by 9:00 AM in the morning.

As I think back to the times when I've been bothered by noise, more often than not, the issue has been with adults rather than children. I remember the couple in the next room at the Poly who came home very late into the evening and promptly got into an argument loud enough and long enough that we needed to call security to end the noise. There was the family on the other side of the connecting door that found the game of open and slam their side of the connecting door to be a wonderful game. Of course, there were adults present there as well who couldn't figure out that those in the room next door might not enjoy this game as much. There were the grandparents in the room next to us at the Contemporary who seemed to think the kids were only having a wonderful time if they were literally bouncing off the walls, on the beds and screaming their joy at the top of their lungs without considering that others in the hotel might not enjoy the volume of their exuberance.
There has been the occasional crying baby but that's what babies do so I don't hold that against anyone. There is the occasional child who screams donw the hallway despite the parents best efforts to tone down the excitement - again, that's what kids do.

The only time I've had a "noise" problem was our final night at Pop Century one trip. Some irresponsible person pulled the fire alarm in our building. Oh my gosh those things are deafening! The alarms obviously do their job because there is no way on Earth you can stay in your room when that thing is going off. Anyways, quiet room or not, if the fire alarm was going off, you'd be disturbed. Besides that, I guess I have just been lucky and not been near noisy guests.

I don't think Disney will ever offer something like this due to the enforcement issues people have mentioned above. I completely agree with the person who said that if you're expecting not to hear noisy children (and adults for that matter) then you've picked the wrong vacation spot. Not saying there aren't times when management needs to be called. Some people do create noise by behaving irresponsibly. But, I think that's the minority. Most noise is kids being kids or the whole family just enjoying their vacation.

The only hope for "quiet rooms" would be for Disney to build some soundproof rooms/doors/corridors. I had a very non-Disney thought and considered the possibility of an adults-only resort, but no doubt that might bring about an entirely different level of noise annoyance.
I propose that those who have problems with the noises produced by families, from infants to teenagers, might be better served vacationing somewhere other than Walt Disney World. There are plenty of quiet vacation locales, some in which you might not see other human beings at all. It is all part of the deal, to me, and I shouldn't be entirely surprised to find it at WDW. Hell-raising by a bunch of adults is not what I would expect at WDW.

It's interesting that most of the comments so far are about not minding noise, or expecting it, or liking it, but most of the poll answers at this point show more people wanting the option than not.
