"I never complain - so why did Disney comp our room?" trip report! *UPDATED 10/28*

Your daughter is so darling!! I'm thinking of taking my DGS (who will be almost 14 mos old) for my Dec 08 trip but DD is not sure how he will be. He is great in strollers and shopping carts but not sure about the rides. Your daughter seems to be really enjoying everything and how lucky you were to have her grandma along.

The pics of the food are great! I am SO hungry right now and that Mahi-Mahi looks to die for!
 
You have a beautiful familyand I can't wait to read more. Love the food porn....

Thank you! Yes, I love food porn as well...I have just a food report as well if anyone is interested in that, too!

Thank you so much! Our daughter loved it. She did get tired and cranky at times, but we scheduled time to go back to the the resort and relax and nap and just let her out of her stroller for a few hours. She loved the rides and characters. Her face was just priceless throughout the whole trip. I would totally bring your DGS.

The Mahi was incredible. The best food of the trip for me.

The Beverly was so funny. And I snapped the picture at just the right moment after he drank it. I think I was laughing the entire time!

CR was so good. I will be going there again next time.

:thanks: It is funny, because I have hazel eyes and my husband has dark brown eyes and G ended up with grayish blue eyes. We thought they would change, but they never did!

It is definitely an interesting story on how we got comped!! Stay tuned!

Thank you! I love the picture with G and the hat, too. She is so silly. The veggie sandwich was really good. Have a great time on your upcoming trip!!
 
Day 1 - Part 5

After a fantastic meal at Coral Reef we decided to head back to POP and unpack and rest. We had had a long day already and it was going on 9pm now.

We go find our connecting rooms in the 80's section.

And I wasnt too sure what to expect, but we were very pleased with the rooms. I dont think they were much, if any smaller than the moderates we are used to.

And Gianna loved the towel animal Mouskeeping left. It was very cute with lots of stickers.

Then I hear a knock on the connecting door from my mom's room. I open it up and she says - "Do you have your luggage?" :headache:

I did not. And neither did she. We had arrived round noon that day and it was now 9:30pm - plenty of time for our luggage to have been brought to our rooms. Our carry-ons were there that we had left with luggage assistance, but nothing we had checked. Which had lots of things we were needing by that time.

So my mom calls down and asks the CM what is going on - she says someone from luggage will have to call us back. We waited 30 minutes and hadnt heard anything, so Matthew gives them a call. They tell him the same thing and transfer him to luggage where he is on hold for 10 minutes. No one ever picks up.

He decided to go down to the front desk. G is getting a little fussy now and is really needs a bath - but her bath stuff is in the luggage. Matthew calls me about 20 minutes later and says they cant find any of our luggage and told him it has never been checked in. :scared: They then tell him he is more than welcome to look through their luggage department. :confused3

Shouldnt they be doing that? That is not Matthew's job to do that - but he says fine and he does. He calls me 30 minutes later saying he found our luggage, but is still looking for my moms.

It is around 11pm now and we are not too happy. A very chipper young man brings up our luggage and says "We found your luggage!" I reply - "You found it - or my husband found it?" He looks a little uncomfortable and says - "Your husband." I ask him if my husband can find it - why couldnt they find it? And that I wasnt really happy that he was down there having to dig through tons of luggage. But I knew I was barking up the wrong tree, so I just said thank you and shut the door.

While this was happening, Gianna was playing by the connecting doors and I hear her start crying. There was something sharp on the bottom of the door and it had somehow sliced through her big toe and it was bleeding everywhere now. I am so upset and frustrated, but luckily Gianna only cried for a minute and as soon as I cleaned it up and put a Hello Kitty bandaid on it, she she off playing with something else.

Up next.....did Matthew find Mimi's luggage???

I wouldn't have been happy, either. You sound a lot like me.

YIKES!!!!

Don't leave us hanging!!!!

Great report. Let's see...... will you be comped because of the luggage mess, or because of the cut on the toe, or the *near stabbing*? I would think any one of those would be reason for a comped room.

You didn't complain, huh? Maybe we're not so much a like, afterall? ;)

p.s. my other responses are red, because I'm too lazy to figure out how to multi-quote the same response. :confused:
 
Day 1 - Part 6

Around midnight that night a sweaty Matthew comes back to the room with my mom's luggage. He had been down there an hour and a half looking for our luggage, which supposedly was not there. He wasnt too happy at this point, but I told him at least we had our luggage and we could have a good trip with clean clothes!

He was told someone would contact us about what had happened and maybe they would be able to get us Fastpasses or Disney Dollars. :thumbsup2 I was totally happy with that!!

So now, I knew I had my Xanax for the flight back - which made me happy and we are all able to shower and go to sleep. Even though it was a bit later than we expected.

You know, if I would have been anywhere else, I would have marched down there and complained, but I didnt want to let anything bother me. I was in my happy place and just said to myself - we have the luggage, so it is all good. Matthew never complains and he did this time. We got something very special later on in the trip because of his complaining though!

You will have to wait for that one!

I didnt say anything to them about the cut toe, I just kept the door shut for the rest of the trip. But the door shouldnt have had such a sharp metal piece at the bottom. It cut all the way under her toenail! :scared:
