We checked in last week at the Contemporary... I had sent a request for North wing, close to main building due to a bad back and of course slipped in the possibility for a comp upgrade to tower if available, it was our first stay at CR & it was a surprise to my dd who was turning 4 the day we checked in. Let me first say that I totally know they are requests and only requests... we paid for a wing and expected to get a wing and LOVED our wing room.
So we check in and the cm says our room hasn't be cleaned yet but it stated "do not move" on the resservation. So dh and I look at each other like cool, our fax must have been received and maybe just maybe it was a unexpected room. So THEN she gives us our keys, imagine our surprise when they pop out gold cards... she said hmm that's odd, they call these the vip cards and almost are never used but let us keep them anyway. Dh and I look at each other again... hmmmmmmmmmmm! So then she says here is where your room will be, it will be one of these (circled about 5 rooms) and it was in the North wing, 2nd floor almost all the way at the end. <insert burst bubble here> HEE HEE! I did not let it bother me at all, our room, although a slight walk, was awesome.. it was SOOOOO big!!! And it was the Contemporary!!!
It was so neat having the gold cards though, lots of extra attention from CM's when paying for stuff. HEE HEE! Actually my usually oblivious dh is the one who noticed that when they saw our gold cards, we seemed to have gotten a little extra attention.. has anyone else ever gotten the "gold cards"??? I just found it so weird!
2 thumbs up for CR! Great location, loved the monorail but actually walked TO MK the mornings we started out there, much faster and easier.
