Seriously, not only is POP the best WDW resort (in my opinion!) but it has the most helpful & friendly Dis thread, too! Thanks!

I will follow that plan!! Thanks!

I don't have any experience using these lockers, because we store our backpack/carryon's in the rental car trunk. If you use DME, you can store them with the resort's Bell/Luggage Services.

I did find these links above that talk about lockers, including cheap ones outside the park entrance turnstiles. Depending on the size of your carry-ons, perhaps these will work. ??

Good luck!! I hope these will work for you!!

Thanks! Those luggage lockers look perfect! Didn't know they had those.

Things are going much better today. We can actually get in our room and the parks. We can access our dining plan and charge to the room. It was a terrible first day but we are having fun in the parks today.

Great news! I've been telling my DH about your problems, we were thinking of you. No problems for us today, FP+, park tickets, dining etc all worked fine. Had a great time at Enchanted Tales, DH got to be a suit of armor. And our FP+ for BOG worked flawlessly. (never invited, just learned from DiS and did from home. Having great time. At Pecos Bills now. Way too full lol!

What is this BOG FP+ thing people are talking about? 6 days until we leave for the World - up to my eyeballs packing for 5 people!!!

ETA: My ticker froze up! I had a mini heart attack when I saw 14 days. Thought this was a cruel remake of Groundhog Day!!

I posted this to the Families board but didn't get any replies. Was wondering if anyone here could help. We check into Pop on Thursday!

Booked our stroller with Apple a few weeks ago. I haven't heard anything from Apple about needing payment... How does this work? I have a confirmation number from the website when I booked everything. Do I need to call Apple to confirm?

Thanks!!

My reply got eaten.

Basically, every time I've done a stroller ressie, they charge my CC before I get a confirmation #. Are you sure your CC hasn't been charged?

Also, use your confirmation # to check the order status on the Apple site.

It said the cc was optional, so I didn't give one... And it did give me a confirmation number. Weird!

I got an email saying to send my CC info into them 3 days before our trip. The email came a day after the reservation was made. They didn't try to charge it til our second day there. Not sure why my stupid card was denying it but they called and I just gave them my other accounts card number.

I do not believe Frontier Airlines participates in the resort airline check-in. I think this is the current list...
Current Resort Airline Check-In Participating Airlines (Domestic only):
* Airtran Airways
* Alaska Airlines
*American Airlines
*Delta
*Jetblue
*Southwest
*United
*US Airways

This list could change, so be sure to check at the resort. (In case they do start participating)

Figures....ok....thank you

Still can't get in our room.

Ugh!!! Do your KTTW cards work for your room? If neither band or card work, you probably need the battery changed in your RFID lock. Ask them to look into that for you.

Ok. Thank you. We are back at the front desk for the seventh time in 24 hours.

Love these Pop CMs! They are trying so hard! Big hugs if any of them read this!

That's great that you feel that way! But I felt like this when we had similar problems in August.

That's a great attitude! I hope I can keep a happy demeanour if I end up with MB issues.

From your posts and others, I just don't get why they won't hand over a KTTW card, take your MB(s) and fiddle with them while guests continue with their vacation. Leave them in the room or call out and leave a message to guests when they're fixed.

It's like logic and common sense are all but gone these days

 

[MacDalt]

Does anyone know if we should keep our Msgic Bands for the next trip? Or do we get new ones each visit?

Sadly, it is not the KTTW or MBs. They were flawless at the parks today. It is the doors. An engineer has to come by to reset / reprogram it. The CMs said some folks have dealt with this since Thursday. The system went down and it has been messed up since. Not everyone is having this issue, though.
