We arrived at the Atlanta International Airport 2 hours before our flight got our boarding passes and checked our luggage.

The trip was underway.

Consisting of

Malfeficent2
Dhusband
Dson (4)
Dsister and her DS (6)

we arrived in Orlando around 11:00 that is when everything started to unravel!

Delta sent my DSisters and her son's luggage to San Jose CA I quess they thought we we headed to DISNEYLAND!!!! LOL

so we had to go to Delta Claims and that took forever.By the way they gave her nothing for losing her luggage.They say they have 24 hours to get it back and then if it not back they give you $25 per day per piece until returned up to $125 total compensation even if they never find it!

Then on to National.No Full size cars in the emerald isle!!!!! NO one that could speak English out there either. Finally found an Intrepid(worse car on the road for vision in our families op) on the full sz lane it was the only one all the others were much smaller and would not hold us and our luggage.

ok by now I am thinking maybe we should just turn around and GO HOME!

we finally arrive at ALLSTARS and we proceed to Check IN we get the CM with no personally at all he mumbled thru the entire process and would not give my sister her AE lanyards even though I paid for her fridge with my AE so she would get them.Gave me some crazystory about only one WhiteGlove per card.Well we used two different AE one to pay for our Room Deposit so we would get White Glove and one for her Refrigerator. Nope no good. All this after when we first Walked up to Check in I said laughing and with a smile Please make some magic for us we have had a terrible day so far. No response from Mr. Personality.

Then on to the room NON smoking rooms yeah right!

DS has asthma and can not tolerate smoke and her room reaked of it. So we call front desk to be moved.They Front desk actually said to me.OK we will move you but you may not be in the same building or anywhere close to one another! "which would you rather have the room you are in or your sister being able to breath"Can you beleive that!All this befor she had even looked for another set of rooms close together.Well they moved us to adjoining rooms just down from where we were.Building 6 the farest away from everything let me add hows that for alittle magic.

By this time it is too late to make our Cindy's lunch ressie.So we just head out to the Outlet Malls for alittle shopping therapy.

On the way back we at at Macaroni's Great Food and Great wait person.Very enjoyable expierence.



then back to the AllStars to find we still have no frigs as of 8:30 PM


I was so ready for this day to end!

on a happy note the weather was beautiful.There was a great breeze that day.


end of day one thank goodness.

Bummer, Mal. What a rocky start!

Lost luggage, mini clown-car at National, Mr. No personality CM, smoking room, no frig-Yeesh!

It has to get better, right? Tell me it gets better!

Let's hear about day 2.

Sorry your trip started off this way! Can't wait to read about Day 2!
 
sorry about your trip day 1.

Question for you though - if you pay for only the fridge with AE do you get white glove, or do you have to pay for the room? I ask because, we paid for the package on another card (0% interest for several months), but will pay for fridge on AE if it will get us something.
 

Finally found an Intrepid(worst car on the road for vision in our families op)

We had a Mistsubishi Spider on our last trip (my BF called it the "hot chick car"). It was awful too. I couldn't see out of it at all. It had a ridiculous fin-thing totally blocking the rear view. Most fins are flat, this one curved up. I crawled out of parking spaces because I was so paranoid that I wouldn't be able to see a kid behind me. I couldn't see out the right to check my blind spot because the support post was so big. It didn't help that my BF has a big head ;) . If I had to change lanes, I would just put my turn signal on, say a prayer & go. Mostly, I tried to stay in the right lane.
 
of your room bill with AE you get the White Glove Treatment.

We have been doing WhiteGlove since it first started years ago.We have a collection of fanny paks and now one lanyard gave the second one to my Dnephew.there are 2 per pack or white glove treatment.

How dissapointing; one problem after another. I hope the fun starts soon for you. It's no fun for things like that to happen on vacation.
 
I totally sympathise with you re: the non smoking room. I also have mild asthma as does my 15 mo old son. I can smell someone smoking 30 feet away. If we're outside, that's one thing....but if my hotel room reeks of it after I confirmed a non-smoking room I have a big problem with that. At a Red Roof Inn once they actually sprayed my whole room with perfumey stuff to get rid of the smoke smell.....oh yea THATS good for asthma. I thought I was going to die. We slept with the windows open and it was 40 degrees outside.

About the lanyards....I would speak to the manager or AE. It sounds like your are entitled to them.

Hope the rest went better!
