Character wake up calls at DVC.

[evedein]

We've just booked our first trip home for December 2005. DD wants to know if you can still get a wake-up call from Mickey Mouse, as you can at the regular WDW resorts. This is a high point of her day. Since she is not a morning person, it helps to get her out of bed. She will be very disapointed if it is not available.

Absolutely!

Even at DVC HHI. The last time we were at a DVC, at BWV in January, it was Stitch. I want Mickey back and really hope he's available to wake me up in March.

Mickey and Stitch woke us up every morning at SSR in January!

Stitch woke us up earlier this month. I'd prefer plain ole' Mickey.

Stitch (with Mickey coming in later) and also Goofy woke me up last week.

It's also a highlight of our day ... we schedule the call for when we know the kids will be up and then (in a one bedroom) make sure each mans their own phone.

Speaking of character calls ... if ever you are celebrating a birthday and near a castmember with a phone (usually any sort of sales kiosk), very often they receive a call from a character to wish you happy birthday.

I heard that if you make your wake up time something uncommon like 7:03am you have a better chance of getting Mickey due to lower call volume (I think). Whether or not it's true I don't know, but give it a shot.

I went in Jan and had Stich also. I was half asleep and when I answered the phone all I could hear was this screeching in my ear. Not a good way to wake up!! LOL

If you bobble the phone when the call comes, you'll get a backup call from a real CM! Now, that's a disappointment.

I'll give that a try. The last thing I want is to start the day with Stitch screaming in my ear or my DD's ear!

What does bobble the phone mean? Not a phrase we use here!!!

Sorry, this is a family board so we really can't say here.

It is a great way for a wake-up call. I set one up for my three year old grandson in November. We were all up and I said to him I think that's for you. He answered and had a strange look on his face. I said "who is it". He said "I think it's my cat".
Mickey would love that.

I get a wakeup call every time, from Goofy. Btw, my kid is "Goofy".
