Checked in today after driving straight through from Michigan. Got to check in line around 1:15pm, up there at 1:30. Room not ready. Mind you there were alot of people waiting around for rooms evidently. Understanding it was early we asked if at all possible to get one soon as we needed showers etc. The crowd kept accumulating and more and more people were complaining about waiting.
You cant tell me that there werent any rooms available a little early. None. No one seemed to be getting a room. A couple who had arrived at 10am got their room at 3:30. A guy who is a Platinum owner waiting for his presidential unit was told he would be in 2:30 and at 3:30 still waiting. He was still waiting when we got our room
We finally got our room at 4pm on the dot but it was quite frustrating as it was so crowded in the lobby and people were getting upset. Seems they didnt have enough housekeepers cleaning the rooms for how busy they are.
I can only imagine what time those who checked in at 4pm got their rooms. Just not run very well. We have stayed at many timeshares in Orlando and if we tried to check in early never had to wait 2 1/2 hours.
Anyway I had requested high floor, fireworks view and got building 5, 7th floor. Well we can see the parking garage and if you look up you can see the EPCOT ball and we could see some of Illuminations but its obviously not like we waited for a good room for our request.
Oh well the unit is really nice and we are happy about that. If its like this today I wonder how bad it will be Friday, sat and sun of July 4th weekend
