If you do not get your room request...

This is a year old though. And it's out of Florida.

Seems they are permitted to kick them out, but won't, too messy.

Interesting. So they could force them to leave, but chose not to. I guess preferred to standard maybe isnt a big enough deal to call the cops, but if there was no availability at all and they couldnt upgrade me...I would hope that the hotel would call the police if need be.

Thanks for sharing the link!

most likely they would "walk" you to a different resort if they had no rooms available at the resort you booked.

My brother got "walked" from ASMu to CSR last weekend. ASMu was full.

I've read somewhere (wish I could remember where) that they can't kick them out as long as they're paying. I think there's a limit to the days they can do this.

I think I also read that Florida has a law that they cannot kick out paying guests.
I will try to do search and see if I can find more info.
* Edit too add You found it first!
Great job searching:thumbsup:

Here is a snipet from the Florida Statute regarding hotel guests and the right of the hotel to have them removed:

who, in the case of a public lodging establishment, fails to make payment of rent at the agreed-upon rental rate by the agreed-upon checkout time; who, in the case of a public lodging establishment, fails to check out by the time agreed upon in writing by the guest and public lodging establishment at check-in unless an extension of time is agreed to by the public lodging establishment and guest prior to checkout;

I'd be interested in knowing. I thought I read that somewhere. What I've found says that Florida law allows eviction of guests who overstay their check-out date, but most hotels choose instead to relocate the incoming customers, it's less messy that way.

I guess bumping from preferred to standard, although you are in the same resort you booked, is less desirable than bumping from a value to a moderate. I'd hope for a preferred to standard the difference in the room cost would be refunded.

Why would they "Walk" you when all you are trying to do is check in to a room that you reserved?

I would imagine Disney refunded the difference to the OP.

Here is the rest:

The operator of any public lodging establishment or public food service establishment shall notify such guest that the establishment no longer desires to entertain the guest and shall request that such guest immediately depart from the establishment. Such notice may be given orally or in writing. If the notice is in writing, it shall be as follows:

"You are hereby notified that this establishment no longer desires to entertain you as its guest, and you are requested to leave at once. To remain after receipt of this notice is a misdemeanor under the laws of this state."

If such guest has paid in advance, the establishment shall, at the time such notice is given, tender to such guest the unused portion of the advance payment; however, the establishment may withhold payment for each full day that the guest has been entertained at the establishment for any portion of the 24-hour period of such day.

(3) Any guest who remains or attempts to remain in any such establishment after being requested to leave is guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.

The operator may call law enforcement to have the subject removed from the area.

He reserved a room for one night, when he got there they didn't have one available. They relocated him to CSR. He didn't complain, CSR for a discounted ASMu price? Who'd complain?

According to the law posted I think he would have been within his rights to demand that the police be called to arrest someone so he could have a room at ASMu.. but why do that?

I sure wouldn't complain

I was just confused by the way you put "walk" in quotes...I thought that you meant they escorted him over there because they didnt trust him to drive himself.

 

[TDC Nala]

I sure would complain either.

sorry! from what I am reading, that's the term the industry uses for moving a guest this way.

He drove over to CSR in his own car.

Walking a guest is hotel terminology for relocating a guest when you don't have a room available.

Thank you for the info.
It was very interesting.
I stand corrected.

 

[DiszyDeanette]

Is it worth pressing the issue? I read a few threads where people are not getting what they requested on their reservation at check-in. I realize requests are not guaranteed, but I usually know what building I want to stay in. It does make our stay more enjoyable.

A request it just that. A request. I'm sure Disney would love to give everybody everything they want. Their business is to make people happy and keep them coming back. But giving everybody everything they ask for simply is not possible, ever.

What are you planning to accomplish by calling the hotel, other than giving the manager a headache and possibly being labeled a problem guest? It sounds like your trip is over and done with, so what difference does it make now to complain that you didn't get the building you wanted? Did you reiterate your request upon check-in? Did they tell you there were no Buzz rooms available? Of course it's important to your kids... just like every other person's request is important to their kids, or their parents, or themselves. What makes you think they would consider your kids any more important than anyone else's kids? Did you expect them to kick someone else out of their room because your kids care that much about what room they are in?

When you say you "hope they show [you] the magic" it sounds like you're trying to get something for free.

That was a little harsh don't ya think! Its often hard to tell a person's tone threw a typed message. But that came threw loud and clear.
For the record I never thought anyone should be kicked out of there room,or that my kids are better then anyone else's, or that that I wanted anything for free.
I simply just wanted to wow my son on our second trip! If that makes me a "problem guest" I'm ok with that. Sometimes you have to politely speak up to get what you want.

Of course! But in this case speaking up now won't help you. The only thing that might work is if you state at checkin that you are willing to wait for a room that fits your request (assuming you don't get it).

Maybe not, depending on what you are trying to accomplish. If you just stand there and assume and nod and smile like a mindless idiot, never saying or asking for anything, then no, it's not going help. But it's not going to hurt if you speak up politely and with tact.

She didn't say she was going to throw a fit and cause a scene.

Thank you.. I do plan on letting them know we are more then happy to wait if they can accommodate me later in the day. If they can't accommodate then they can't I still loved our last trip and I'm share I will love this one.

No, she said she was going to call the hotel manager and impress upon him/her (politely) how important it was to her child to get that room.

No doubt they'd have a nice conversation, but the hotel manager does not assign rooms. The rooms are not assigned until a few days prior to check in. She won't be able to influence that until she arrives.

A few years back WDW resorts used to allow guests to fax requests to the room assigner a few days prior to checkin. They were inundated with faxed requests and stopped that practice. Now, you put in your request with CRO or WDTC when you make your reservation and it doesn't even go into the resort's computers until it's assigned.
