Got to MCO (2/7) at 2:30 went to DME check in , they checked my papers 2 times at to diff. CMs and directed me to the BWV line . About 5 mins later the CM leads another family of 3 and us 2 to the DME bus ( only 5 of us in this line ,I guess just to fill a bus)
Another CM and the driver scans our book and we get on the bus which was about half loaded. Ten mins later the bus leaves for the resorts. About 10 mins into the ride the driver gave info on where we were going , neither myself nor my wife had any idea what he said. Who cares we will just get of at our stop BWV, no problem. So here we go 1st stop BC , then the driver mentioned SSR and something else. Time to ask a question, so I go up and ask when do we go to BWV, he says we don't, I said we do ,why were we put on a bus not going to our resort. ( don't forget we had 3 diff cm's and the driver check us in and still put us on the wrong bus). Anyway he took us right over to the BW and we were the only ones that got off.
No big deal people but You should check if your on the right bus going to your resort.
Got to bwv about 3:45 pm (MON 2/7) to check in , room not ready that's OK. I asked and was told I got my top fl room 5th fl. and it would be ready in a few minutes. They will call my cell to let me know. Surprise, 30 mins later and no call. I call and they said should be ready shortly. OK we go to the 5th fl and sit by the elavators. 15mins go by so I decide to walk the 5th fl. Guess what not a HK person in sight or there carts, so I go down to the 4th fl and no HK on that fl either. I called again and the CM put me on hold and 10 mins later tells me my room is ready. Great, now here's the kicker, I open the door (5th fl) and there's our luggage from the airport. The bags beat us to the room and we were waiting for the room. My guess is that our room was ready a hour ago but never released. Just had to laugh that our bags got there before us.

more about our observations later
 
That's an exasperating way to start a vacation, for sure! I sure hope the rest of your stay was wonderful! What sort of temperatures did you have?
 
I'll have to do that sometime. Request a high floor, then go there and see when it's done, then call and say, "Okay, it's done. Keys please."
lol. :cool1:
 

Obviously, after you arrived, housekeeping told the front desk that the room could not be occupied because the prior guests still had their luggage in the room.

:rotfl2::rotfl: I wouldn't doubt that at all?

Now this wasn't a big deal at all and the rest of our trip was great.
weather was a bit cool and some rain. DW's birthday was 2/7 and we ate in Italy at the new building. They gave my DW a birthday treat and sang to her in Italian. They next day at MK in Columbia house a CM took our food order reciept and took us upstairs to VIP and brought our food to us, this was before they knew it was my DW's birthday yesterday. This CM gave my wife a birthday pin and I got a celebration pin. After we ate the lady came back we a group of CM's and sang for my DW again. The wife realy enjoyed this trip. On the way out we stopped by the front circle at MK to watch the parade. They had it roped off and everybody was on the train side all around
except us and a few others scattered in the circle. This ladyCM saw my DW pin and moved us to the edge of the street for the parade. All the people in the parade waved to my DW and said happy birthday and even Stitch came over and gave her a big hug. This really mad eher day :thumbsup2
 
Sounds like a great trip...even though the start with the room was a little nerve-wracking it seems Disney somehow made up for it without even know it...Wish I was there...

I brace myself for some confusion when I go to DVC but it always have a great time. Glad you did too.
 
Happy Belated to your DW!! We are staying at BWV for the first time in 88 days. Glad to hear you're having a great trip!
 
Soemtimes the housekeeper will clean the room and forget to mark it as cleaned. The front desk assumes that it still is dirty because that's what it shows in their computer. They then have to contact housekeeping or send the front desk runner up to check the room. This can get especially hectic around 4:00 so that's probably why it was delayed. They'll send the runner to several rooms that are still "dirty" and they mark them one by one, so maybe yours was at the end of the list :confused3 Very frustrating, I know :(

Glad the rest of your trip was enjoyable :)
