So Disney didn't actually offer you an extra night, you ASKED for it.
Yes because she ASKED us what we wanted. And we didn't ask for the tickets, those were just given to us.

a friend told me a very sad story...she knew a family where the grandfather took the 10 yr old grandson to disney (i think end of may/beg of june)...to make a long story short...the grandfather passed away...the grandson "couldnt wake him"...he called the front desk....disney went into action...they scooped the boy up...took him out of the hotel room and tried to "entertain" him while they contacted the family....they set up flight arrangements for the boy...a CM accompained him to the airport and stayed with him til the flight left...they also gave him tickets to return, stuffed toy etc....i guess i just wonder what would have happened if this took place at a "regular hotel"....
A lot of threads nowadays seem to center around Disney starting to cut corners or increasing prices just for the sake of making money.
I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread about cases where something has occurred on your trip and Disney has gone above and beyond to make amends.
During our last trip we stayed at Coronado Springs. At check-in the CM gave our KTTW cards and told us where our room was located. We got to our room and attempted to open the door, it opened, but it was chained(I don't remember if it's actually a chain or one of the those bar things, but you get the idea). A woman who had obviously just gotten out of the shower came to the door and politely told us that the room was already occupied.
We called the front desk and they sent a runner with new kttw cards for us that would get us into our new room(which was luckily in the same building). After we got into our rooms we called the front desk and asked to speak with a manager.
Our original intention was just to find out how something like this was able to occur and bring it to Disney's attention so they could fix it, but this particular CM went above and beyond that. We ended up getting an extra night at Coronado and one day park hoppers for each of us so that we could extend our trip.
If Disney hadn't already earned my business for life prior to that they certainly did with that.
