OK, I just got back from BCV. I thought I had it all planned out. Obviously, I missed something, somewhere.
My DH and I left on Friday to Orlando. He was staying until Sunday, and I was staying until Thrusday.
Well, when I made the ressie, I made it for one, not thinking that DH would go. Then he decided to attend for the weekend.
When we arrive, I had requested a 12:30 check in. Ha, ha! Didn't happen. Then, I had purchased a Prem. Annual Pass and was going to purchase a 2 night UPH for DH. Ha, ha again. I could ONLY purchase a pass for length of stay of the ressie. So, I had to buy him a 4 day hopper pass. Then we planned to go to PI one night, and that was another $17 bucks for that pass. So, what I thought would cost me $152, now cost me $225.
We decided to go and eat at Beaches & Cream and come back and check the room. At 1:45, still no room. So we go to AK. When we arrive back at the BCV, our room is now ready at 5:25 and we want our luggage. They would not let us pick it up ourselves, we had to go to the room and wait for it. Fortunately, they were prompt with the deliver. We had a 6:30 PS at Fulton's for dinner, and were afraid it was going to be close.
It seemed like everytime I asked someone if they took either the DVC or PAP for discounts, I got turned down. Now I read that I should have gotten a discount at Fulton's but she said that since they were not Disney, they didn't take the Disney discounts. She must have been confused!
Then when I went to the World of Disney, they only took the PAP or Disney Club card. DVC was not help at all.
I was frustrated by these few incidents, and all in all my trip was great, but I wish that Disney and DVC could make life a little easier and give us more consistent discounts so that you don't have to carry around a folder to figure out who will accomodate you.
