Pete- please tell me the pool manager from the Royal Pacific finally called you back

[dwaters]

Would it have made it any better had they played:

Smoking In The Boys Room
Rock You Like A Hurricane
Love In An Elevator
Cherry Pie

I've never been on Aerosmith's Rock and Rollercoaster at Hollywood Studios.
Is this one of the Aerosmith songs they play?

Yes, but they changed the words to "love in a roller coaster"

They Disney-fied all the questionable lyrics.

Have you heard back from Royal Pacific yet? (just curious)

Last week, I listened to the episode where you described your experiences at RPR. It sounds like the DJ forgot where he was & thought he was in Las Vegas.

First of all, I agree with Pete and his actions 100%. As my kids get older, each vacation is even more precious (no cell phones, texting, friends etc). I love our family time together and would not want that music being played.

That being said, I think it is now about a customer with a complaint that has been ignored and was made to feel insignificant at the time. Orlando is a big place with lots of hotels, I would think each guest would be made to feel a little more "listened to".

Can't wait to see the new "ticker" for RPH Management incompetence

 

[trivial]

Pete, I think by now it's safe to say that management is well aware of your complaint and who you are. They have no doubt discussed this screw-up internally, and have apparently decided to lay low, stay quiet, and hope that you go away.

Major kudos to you for not letting that happen. Keep on them and do not let up. I can't wait to hear what they have to say for themselves when they inevitably respond, although I suspect we'll hear some predictable, sophomoric, BS PR.

Shame on you, Loews.

Yes, they my know who he is but they don't know WHO he is- Pete doesn't go away that easily. I love that Pete will pursue this not just to get an answer for himself but for all of us here!

At this point the original problem of the inappropriate music is mute. Having management that just doesn't care is a bigger problem.

This could have been handled in so many better ways. The DJ could have apologized and played a different song. That would have been the end. The pool manager could have apologized and talked to the DJ to play different music. That would have been the end. The hotel manger could have called and/or returned Pete's call, apologized and the subject would have been dropped. As it is-none of this was done and here we are still talking about it.

We did not hear any music about a "ho" while staying at RPR but we did actually see a couple of "working women" when returning to our room one night. They were with a couple of older gentlemen and while I am not 100% sure that they were professionals both Dh and I thought the same thing. I don't think the kids really knew what was going on. They didn't say anything and I am not about to bring it up. I have stayed at quite a few hotels/resorts and I have never seen that before.

Or moot.

I have to admit that I didn't know what song Pete was talking about and learned on this thread.

I like that song. Wouldn't play it at a 5yo birthday party, but I like it. A lot.

I downloaded it now that I know what it is called ("Don't Trust Me.")

But liking a song and feeling it is appropriate for kids are two different things. I don't really think it is a good song for the kiddos. Yet, I actually get more ticked off with Disney and their "Shake your groove thing, c'mon let me see you shake your tail" than I do with Uni playing Top 40 music. I expect wholesomeness from Disney and not so much from Uni.

Still and all, Pete deserves a response for how he was treated.

I tried for over a year to get Disney to refund the water view that I paid for but did not receive. Eventually I gave up.

Good for Pete for hanging in there.

 

[Poohbug]

Oh yes, moot. Thanks Kaligal.

I almost put moo. If anyone remembers Joey on Friends, they will remember moo.

 

[kaligal]

I remember Joey, but not moo. Refresh me?

I was a Blossom fan.
