I have only had 2 stays in FL on DVC and one was ready at 6pm. Aulani I had 2 stays and they were both by 4 but not early by any means. DLR properties Ive had 3 stays and were all ready before 4.
Want to add I think CA is better at room ready because VGC is small and attached to a hotel and VDH is ran with a high amount of cash stays at this point, people paying cash aren't made to wait past 4 or even 3 for that matter. Same goes for Aulani lots of cash stays. So I think its cash gets more staffing and you dont want to piss off a cash customer, but DVC they can get mad about it since its a timeshare they need to accept it
People love to give Disney a pass on the negative things in this timeshare I have come to notice.
If you are out and about doing things it's no big deal and the time you want to check in can be notated when you check in online. But there are times when you really need your room to be ready on time. For instance when my daughter needed to nurse my granddaughter and get her settled in after a long day of travel. It's frustrating in these instances when you don't have a room you are already paying for.
This was us checking in this week, I had two littles in desperate need of a nap. Our room was ready at 330. Not terrible but ugh anyone who has lugged around two tiny over tired humans knows the struggle. Just once I’d like to be the family who gets the noon check in
Wow!! They’ve always told us that dvc does not have late check out period. Were you staying on cash maybe?
Every time ive asked they've always put me on hold to check with housekeeping and then its always a No. VGF even told me I'd better have called a bellman half an hour before 11 am or I would get no bell service to our car and if we're past 11 am waiting for bell service we would be charged an extra night. Never have experience more rude "service" at a DVC resort
