Crappy Alarm Clock

[seashoreCM]

Probably an unimportant nitpicking topic but here goes:

Alarm goes off. You reach over to hit the snooze alarm button. Then you oversleep by a large amount.

When you finally wake up you look and find that the time readout is vastly wrong, you accidentally hit the hour setting button which does not require a second button to be held down at the same time.

On at least two stays in the All Stars I found an alarm clock with the time setting buttons right up top where they could be pushed by mistake. I would like an outfit like Consumer Reports to point out such deficiencies as major, too.

Can you arrange for a wake-up call at All Stars?

I don't trust the alarm clocks, I use wakeup calls. And as Mickey says "up and adam!", no snoozing! ;)

Although DrTomorrow thinks it should be "Up and Atom" ;) , I do believe that it is "Up and at 'em".

Thanks for the correction, that does make more sense! :D

Actually isn't it: Up and at'em Pal. There's big doins' today!

I must admit my family (myself included) acted like total idiots when those wake-up calls came!:p We were tripping over each other to get to the bathroom phone so we could all hear. We even had wake-up calls at different times of the day if one of us missed the morning one!:D It is just a fun part of Disney magic.

On a practical note, my DH has one of those ironman watches with a built in alarm clock so he wears that to bed when we travel, works good for us.

:D

? Dis Vets. How do you get the Mickey wake up call? Is it only at the All Star resorts? We used the wake up service on our phone every night at POR, but it was just a ringing phone.
