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!

You know, except for a few times when people have been going into their rooms late at night I don't remember a time when we were bothered by noise at WDW.

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.

this is AWESOME!!
I would LOVE to have a quiet room at WDW. There is so little sound insulation, you know right away when it's 6am on the dot. Everything from crying babies, to multiple doorslams for breakfast (at 6am???) and rolling luggage all seems to start up like clockwork. Never known why everything starts so early when people are supposed to be on vacation, but I would definately pay extra for a nice quiet room.

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.

We really haven't had much trouble with noise. Usually so tired it doesn't even register!

I think they already do offer "quiet" rooms. You just ask for a room on the other side of the hotel building away from the pool. I've been doing that for quite some time now, and have never had any problem with noise...and the rooms that aren't pool-adjacent are generally considered "standard" rooms, so not only can you request them, you actually pay less for them.

I voted that I would pay extra for it. Yes, it is Disney and yes, I expect noise and kids (though, my husband and I do joke that "they shouldn't allow kids at Disney"). However, I'm pretty sure I hold the record for the world's lightest sleeper. I understand it is not reasonable to expect everybody to be as quiet as I would like them to be. Especially kids... I'm sure as a child getting ready in the mornings I was extremely loud! Have a room that is a little bit quieter would just be helpful for me to sleep. Yes, I sleep with ear plugs, but I'd still be willing to pay a little more to get my sleep at night so I can have lots of energy for bouncing through the parks during the day.
-
We've only encountered a noise problem once (on our last trip) and that was due to some extremely obnoxious adults. What I learned from that is one phone call to the front desk and it was quickly taken care of.
So no, I wouldn't pay for it because for me it really hasn't ever been a big issue.
