OKW Disappointment

I went back and read every one of the OP's posts in this thread and I honestly don't see any bashing involved.

Your right. It's not bashing at all. Passive aggressive is a much better descriptor.

I went back and read every one of the OP's posts in this thread and I honestly don't see any bashing involved. He said he was disappointed, reported the problems, explained he didn't move because of when he noticed problems and that it was a short stay. He didn't say "I'll never stay there again" - he said it would be a while before they tried it again. Maybe I'm using a different definition of bashing (mine is "to attack" which also happens to be what's in the dictionary) but NONE of the poster's comments even come close IMO. "Bashing" when used on these boards also has a connotation of unfairness or over-reaction, neither of which I think were in play here.

I understand the urge to be protective of one's home resort, truly I do. But I do agree with the OP that people take even the most level-headed, even-handed reports personally sometimes, and I can only believe it discourages people from posting their experiences.

nice thing about the boards is the ability to have differing opins & state in respectful manner.

jmho, if you don't own @ one of the more popular resorts that tend to disappear from inventory you are lucky - yes, I said lucky to trade into one. A first-time stay doesn't necessarily provide a solid basis for comparison of overall resort issues vs a isolated room issue.

As others have stated housekeeping can easily be addressed on the spot by contacting the front desk. Luggage delivery/transfer length can't be blamed upon one resort, easily an issue that could've happened at the 1st resort or even enroute.

The most recent issue of disneyfiles has article by Mr Lewis that details a guest doing a room inventory, etc. upon checkin, a most wonderful idea to discover potential maintenance issues.

You've got to be kidding. The staff should be doing that and the guests only identifying a problem the staff missed for some reason. I must have missed your in that statement.

nope, im not kidding. Two sets of eyes can see different things. I certainly wouldn't want to be on the hook for damages caused by previous occupant either. I'd think it'd be far easier to reach a manager/maintenance/housekeeping during regular checkin times. Whole process shouldn't take more than 5 minutes if family pitches in to help

btw, if you owned a rental property wouldn't you give it a once over when you visit? This is no different imo, for those who do have a sense of pride in ownership (even if fractional time share).
