That's what I should have asked Bill
Thank you
Thank you
When they text you your room number, how do you know the building number? We'll be staying at a GV in May at OKW and we've been lucky the last couple of times we checked in that our room was ready when we got there so we didn't receive a text.
That's great! I can only imagine people with DDP being really upset as well. Which resort? And was it a trip to the front desk? or were they able to fix it at dinner?It was great going straight to our room, but not when we couldn't charge our dinner. We were told charging should have been activated once one of the bands had accessed the room.
There was a cast member out by the bus with a tablet when we were dropped off that I assume you could ask for directions to your room. We did not have any "welcome" info in our room. This was the end of February.

this isn't fair for late arrivals! Where they get what's left over.
I was at WDW just last week with direct to room at SSR. I was sent both a text message and an email while waiting for my next flight in NC since I had a short stop there from MI letting me know that my room was ready in Congress Park. The email contained a map of the resort so that I could find my building. I got off ME and walked directly to my room around 1215pm. No one was greeting the passengers off the bus nor was I offered a ride to my room via bell services. But then I only had carry on so that might have been why. I really miss the welcome packet with the portable perks and other information. There was a packet in my room but it was generic resort information not DVC related. Since I did online check in my charging privileges started as soon as I got there.
We had to pay "out of pocket" then visit the resort desk to have it fixed. This was at BLT.That's great! I can only imagine people with DDP being really upset as well. Which resort? And was it a trip to the front desk? or were they able to fix it at dinner?
As the person that told us this only fixed it for dh (and we had to later visit again so the rest of us could charge), it's entirely possible she gave us bad info.That is really odd, because we dropped the car off at the valet and immediately went into the QS at PVB and had a quick dinner, charging it on MB. We hadn't been to our room yet to activate the charging privileges. However, our MBs wouldn't open the outside door to the long house. It worked for the room, but we had to call and then DH and DD went around and did something outside and then they worked fine.
I would think its just random availability, no matter how you check in....but this is my guess. What makes you think online check-in only gives out high floors?how about requests? At BCV we request high floor & Quiet pool view but hte choices on the online check in are only high floor. If I remember from past years of online check-in you lose your requests. Does any one know f you lose only if you choose their options or do you alway lose your requests if you do online check in?
They don't just give high floors that is just one of the request you can choose during online check in. My question is do those requests delete the ones you made during the booking process. You cannot choose pool view during the check in process. So if I pick nothing would my original request stay on?I would think its just random availability, no matter how you check in....but this is my guess.
