We just returned from a 4 night stay at SSR using the last of our DP's.
There was some good and some bad:
Magical Express- I immediatly noticed the lack of CM's available at ME check-in (Compared to our last trip in October). However, we were through the line in about 20 minutes. We did get right on the bus but had a bit of a wait for the bus to fill. This is really the normal thing and I can't fault the ME for the wait.
Just as we were leaving the airport, we were in the left lane and another ME bus cut us off and actually clipped our bus! The other bus kept going but our driver pulled into the emergency lane and stopped in order to call dispatch. Nobody was hurt because it was a mionor hit however the right side morroe was bent pretty bad. The driver was told that they would have to send another bus and transfer us. I'm guessing that we lost only about a half an hour getting to the resort after all was over with.
Check-in was smooth. I had already been notified that both our groceries and owner's locker had been delivered so we asked for a bellman to get all our items to our rooms in the Grandstand, which had been our first request. We had to wait at least 30 minutes before a bellman was available. Even though I had told the dispatcher that I had both groceries and a Owner's Locker to pick up, the bellman tried to leave twice without the items.
Once to the room, we immediatly noticed that our 1 BR didn't look like the one we had previously. We had been given a special needs room, probably because that's all they had left at our arrival time (about 6:00 PM) and also the resort was at full capacity.
In retrospect, I probably should have let DW have her way and complain to the front desk about the room.
More on the trip later......
