Room ready changed…

Vgc room was ready at 12:45 pm yesterday When we stayed at BLT and arrived at like 10 AM they had a room ready as well no issues here, except we've never been granted a late checkout, have asked twice, is that a possibility for dvc?

No, it's not a thing for DVC rooms. All rooms must be vacated by 11. Hotels can do that because they often have 20-40% available rooms, except in very high season. DVC is a timeshare, so an occupancy near 98-100% daily all year.

People always want to give a pass to Disney because of turnover.

I'm inclined to be a little more forgiving because it's a timeshare---they don't have the same slack capacity that hotels often do.

Honestly in my travels 4pm is already late in the day. If they need to hire more people then hire more people as it would make such a little difference to MFs likely. A random few times going past 4pm to like 5pm is fine. Rooms routinely being ready at 6/7/8pm that some people seemingly are fine with is really what I am talking about.

Each housekeeper is possibly $0.015-$0.025 per point. You hire more if you can't have the rooms ready by 4pm.

In the end the resorts I stay at it seem to never have this issue.

The problem isn’t steady state. The problem is unexpected issues with a room. Those are rare—otherwise we’d be hearing about much later check ins regularly. But it does mean that once in a while someone gets a room late.

I guess we got lucky on our Feb RIV stay...was granted a late checkout (standard studio). It helped tremendously, as my wife ran the half-marathon that day and gave her a little extra time to get ready. I think they pushed our check out time to 2pm which lined up well with our 6pm flight.

Makes sense!
