Strange happening at Resort after 2nd check-in

[MaryannF]

I booked Pop Century using a Canadian at Par code for Feb 13-20 last October. After trying to find a flight to Orlando I discovered that if we left on Feb 11 we could get a cheaper flight and better flight times so I booked PC using a room only code for Feb 11-12. The CM at CRO put on the reservation that it was a continuous reservation so that we could stay in the same room. When we checked in on Feb. 11 the CM could see that we had 2 separate reservations and that we had indeed been assigned the same room for both. On Feb 13 I went to check out and check back in. We got our passes, etc. and went to MK. While at MK my husband developed a migraine and we had to get back to the resort ASAP. Thankfully the maid had already finished the room. He took some meds, put an ice pack on his head, drew the blinds and crawled into bed. I took my refillable mug and a book and went to the food court to give him time to heal. When I came back to the room about 2.5 hours later he was still in bed but feeling much better. He told me that shortly after I left there was a tap on the door that he ignored. The next thing he knew the door was opened and the maid was standing beside the bed asking him when he was checking out. All he could manage to say was, "already done". She left. I wanted to complain to the front desk but my husband felt it wasn't her fault that she was just going by an outdated list. Does this happen often? I still feel funny about her walking right into the room to ask him when he planned to check out when it had already been done early in the morning and I wonder why she made up the room if we were checking out?

The mixup does not happen often. As you said someone obviously forget to let houeskeeping know you were not checking out.

I don't ever leave my door where someone can walk in. I always put the safety latch on the door each and everytime we enter the room. That avoids any staff walking in on you.

We always keep the safety latch on as well but as DH was already in bed when I left he couldn't get up to flip it over. I guess he also wanted me to be able to get back in the room if I wanted to. DH said that he was a little unnerved to peek out from behind his ice pack to see her beside the bed.

We have had that happen at the Swan. When some of the nights are with points and the rest are paid, they require separate ressies. One trip that this happened, our room didn't get cleaned on the transistion day because every time the maid checked, our stuff was still there so she thought we hadn't checked out yet. When we got back to the room that evening we called housekeeping. We weren't all that concerned about the beds being made, but we did want fresh towels. They sent someone immediately and they insisted on changing the sheets, towels, the whole deal. The next morning there was a message that there was "something" at the front desk for us. When we went down, there were vouchers for a free meal (appetizer, salad, entree, dessert, non-alcohol drink)for each person in our party at any of the Swan/Dolphin restaurants except Shula's or Blue Zoo. Not bad customer service considering we would have been happy with a few clean towels!!!

I thought my family were the only ones who have to leave the parks early and go to bed with migraines. Its nice to know we are not the only ones, but not very nice for your hubby who also suffers from them.

We have had dd very ill, so ill that the maid had to come in and clean around her laying in the bed with a severe migraine.

She usually misses out on three full days out of eight with horrible migraines. My husband is the only one who does not get them, and always wonders why we spend so much money going to wdw when there is usually one of us ill at some point while we are down there.

i too get migraines, but have found IMITREX works wonders in about an hour!!!
have you tried this?

 

[Keokagal]

Thank the good doctors for Imitrex and Butalbital! I get around 6-8 a month, but due to these meds I only miss one day of work a year. I have them on me at all times. Sorry you and DD suffer so often. Here's some magic for next trip.

Hi Everyone:

232 -- she has tried imitrex nasal, can't swallow huge pills but the nasel stopped working. They gave her two vials of the injection but she is terrified to use them. Do you use the injection. She has tried axert, works once in a while, zomig did not work.

She has just been off work for two years and now is slowly trying to get back. She is on maxalt the rapid dissolve, it seems to help in 3 hours , but she usually has to lay in a dark room and go to sleep to have this effective. We are actually saving the imitrex injections in case she wakes up with a migraine on a work day, employers are not sympathetic when it comes to migraine headache, they do not realize that it is way more than a tension headache with the vertigo, pain etc.

She is on her 7th preventative in a year and half, just finished two separate botox injections three months apart, I felt she got headaches everyday after the botox, its like they were aggravating her forehead area and it triggered them.

I can't tell you how many times we would get to a park for a couple of hours and she would have to go back to the room and lay down because of the dizziness and head pain, nausea, how many wasted wdw hopper passes because of her condition, over the many trips since she was little. We never complained to make her feel worse over the cost of these passes.

I can remember a few years ago we did a split akl and poly concierge, checked out akl, went to ak park within one hour we had to leave she was gettina a migraine fast and was going to vomit, drove over to poly concierge, unfortunately it was just before noon no room ready, I stayed in the car with her all afternoon so she could lay down, in the poly parking lot hubby and son kept checking for a room (splitting a resort stay does not work with my daughter for the above reason)
all she wanted was to go lay down in a dark room with cold air conditioning.

I felt like asking for another pass many times as we all just get a couple of hours but I did not think that they would believe us, because her headaches are so often. I don't know anybody else that gets them so severe, even me when I was yound did not get as many. She takes bonamine each park day also to prevent motion sickness.

Keo -- Thanks for the magic -- she gets about 5 days a week with a migraine at present that puts her back in bed, she is on atenenol (beta blocker for two weeks now) but still getting headaches that start in late afternoon I wonder if atenenol waring off by then)she is also on a low dose of paxil for slight depression from all this, as she can never make any plans in her life she is only 26.

What is butalbital a preventative or a pain killer? She has transfered to the headache clinic at our local hospital from her neurologist that she had for years as she could do nothing more for her. Sorry for the long story.

Deb.

A few years ago at an offsite hotel, DH was in the bathroom when I had gone down to the restaurant and just pulled the door shut, so the inside latch was not hooked. DH did not hear the maid knock on the door. Boy oh boy were they BOTH surprised when DH walked out of the bathroom wearing just his underwear! They were both embarrased. This same maid was filling in the for an absent employee at the breakfast bar the next morning - she waited on us hand and foo, and brought us extras of everything. She saw us on our last day and told us that she was so embarrassed that she waited each day to make sure our car was gone from the lot before she would even walk down our corridor! These things happen.

Think Mrs. Doubtfire and you are closer to the true picture. We saw her many times after that and she always went out of her way to wish us a good day and ask if there was anything we needed. We ended up having 4 extra shampoos, 4 extra soaps, 8 extra towels and 2 extra pillows in our room by the end of our stay and everyday we had a face cloth flower and sometimes 2.

Imitrex isn't for everyone. My husband was taken off Imitrex when his blood pressure went wonky. It didn't work for him everytime. He has been to the Sunnybrook Hospital migraine clinic and figured he would have to live with the migraines for the rest of his life when they told him there was nothing more they could try. He went for novocaine injections to his scalp which are supposed to numb the area where the migraine usually starts and give the nerves a chance to quiet down with the hope that eventually they stay quiet. He said it was great while his head was numb but as soon as the freezing started coming out the pain was there. Also the site where the injections went in became extremely tender and sore. He tried acupuncture. He has tried some alternative medicine. His doctor is a migraine sufferer. He tries every migraine therapy that has come along so he is very aware of the pain and suffering and would love to find the combination that works for my husband. The search continues.

Back in 2000, my MIL and I had continuing reservations at All-Star Music.

First night, just two adults, the 5 remaining nights, 4 adults.

I had gone out to meet with some friends and ride some Mouseboats and she was hanging around the room that day to relax and wait for the rest of our group to check-in.

She stated that Mousekeeping dropped by a couple of times to clean the room. The second time they asked when she was checking out and she told them, we checked out and checked back in.

The housekeeping sheets are probably made about 2am each morning and have the list of rooms to be cleaned and a list of those checking out. It is doubtful that they go to the trouble of letting housekeeping know that someone is checking out and checking right back in.
