This was at Disney world on Oct 14. Checking into Contemporary
O.k. so we are all tired and cranky and I tell my DH to stay in car while I go check in. I go up to counter and the friendly receptionist starts checking me in. Next thing I know she goes over to a manager whispers something in his ear and looks over at me. I'm thinking "is it possible that my credit card is being declined on my first day of vacation what's going on. The receptionist comes back and without a word starts typing away in computer again. Meanwhile a lady comes and leans against counter next to me bearing a clipbord in her hand. I try to look away showing I am not interested in whatever she may be advertising. She starts asking how I am doing and I say tired. She still stands there and asks if there is anything I would like, I said yes my room. Meanwhile receptionist is going crazy slow and I'm thinking hurry up before this lady next to me starts taking a survey or something. Well then the lady with the clipboard asks if I like Nascar? I'm thinking what the? No I don't but I am a packer fan I replied. I turn away again. Then she says is your family here with you. I said no they are in the car so the kids are not running around the lobby.(Can you say ADHD )
She says well you might want to go get them because I have something to tell you but I can't until your whole family is here. I'm looking at her wondering what is going on, then she says its a surprise. So I start walking towards to carthen lightbulb YOAMD now I'm sprinting towards car I yell through window grab the kids hurry, I think we won something. Family still sitting there looking at me (DH has no clue about YOAMD) I am like Hello I am serious they are waiting for us. So family hurriedly gets out of car and we run into lobby trying to look dignified while doing so. There are about 20 CMs standing by desk with balloons and clapping for us. Can you say blush. So the lady announces we are family of the day and hands us balloons and a certificate that says family of the day.
Then she proceeds to tell us we get to stay in concierge floor!! Yeah
We had somone take us up and show us room and food area.
(lady with clipboard later told me she was stalling earlier asking me questions
trying to get staff together to came to lobby, we were laughing at my crabby attitude and how she was wondering what to say to me, I felt so stupid that I was trying to brush her off, but let me tell you after this we were smiling ear to ear for the rest of the day.)
