Why Castmembers Hate DVC Members!

[bongo59]

As a long time NJ resident who was born in Amityville and raised on the island...tell me how do you spot NYMetro people? I wouldn't be able to spot them unless they started talking. And I have to agree with the poster who observed that there are a ton of northeasterners in the southern states now. A microcosm of the globalisation of the economy.

having been born and raised in manhattan and now living in the south ..........it is easy.........the accent gives NYers and Bostonians away with easy..............i just never knew it when i was a NYer......

Bongo, Double trouble asked how you would know if they weren't speaking. I think once people talk it's usually not too hard to figure out where they are from, especially if you've traveled around the US.

However I do think some people CAN tell just by looking, even though I am not one of those people. I say this because it happened to me and my friend. We were in Savannah GA and were walking back to our room at a resort and we were not speaking. Two guys were walking in the opposite direction and as they passed us they said "Looks like we got two Northern Girls here". My friend and I could not for the life of us figure out how they knew, since we were sure we weren't talking.

So to those of you who think they CAN tell--what signs do you look for?

I don't know about telling NYers from MI people, but when I was in Georgia in January wearing shorts and a t-shirt and the natives were wearing sweaters and turtle necks, that was probably an easy was of telling that we were from the north!

The OP is an example of what has been reported at the front desk at BCV many times on this site. Like I said about these reports in the past, once it starts (that being the bad attitude), it spreads and can be difficult to fix. It is easy to understand how this happens especially at a dual resort like BCV.

...... but is that the best you got ;-)

I've been reading this 24 page marathon thread just waiting for an epic essay from you and what do I get...three lines !!!

Sorry Knwviking--After I spent this past month at OKW and had 3 units all that needed repair, I really can no longer pick on BCV, I think OKW may be joining BCV as far as the repair issue is concerned, I hope I am wrong. I glad to hear you missed me and waited to hear from me. It makes me feel wanted

Not to argue - that's a bummer that the rooms needed repair, you never want to see a resort slide.... but we had 2 different 1 bedrooms and our friends stayed in a studio there in October, and the rooms were absolutely mint condition. I couldn't believe it - they looked new. Of course, we were only there for a week, and have never stayed there before, so we could have been lucky! Hopefully none of the resorts will be allowed to go downhill - all of us have way too much invested in this for that to happen! Glad you reported the problems, it seems that's the only way they get fixed.

This was my 18th vacation at OKW and I never had any problem before. I hope they are not letting things go either. The stripped water faucet really concerns me, the door to the porch could be explained away, also the compressor running 24/7 can also be explained by saying that you would not know it is running 24/7 unless you stayed there, the dimmer button and the throw pillows may have been just over looked. I rented 3 units and they all had a problem-never before did I have this at OKW

All the rooms are on a rotating refurb cycle so it's possible to get a room in less then grand shape just before it's taken out of service. However, housekeeping should pay closer attention to the condition of the rooms & furnishings. If something needs fixing or replaced, it shouldn't wait till it's refurb time.

Of course, we as members need to do our part and report defects as we find them and not expect "the next guy" to do it.

I reported all the problems to maintenance on the day we left each unit. Did not want anyone up there while I was there, especially with the compressor situation.

I was beginning to worry about you myself. Glad you were off having fun! Sorry about your rooms, though!

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I just figured you'd taken up residence in the OKW guard shack to keep the riff-raff out.

That be like Custer's Last Stand or the Alamo. There are just too many of them to keep out now. That is why I go in January when there is less of them.

You must mean PAMOKW, I am PaOKW95--she is a lot nicer than I.

I'm part of the riff raff that goes every January, at least I was.....but I liked it so much, I've bought a house in Cocoa, so there can be riff raff at WDW all year round!

I like to spread the love!

Yes, Pam is nicer, but I'm not a newbie. I know the difference! I still worried, 'cause I knew you'd have something to say about this! I was also a little disappointed that you said so little. Even a vacation with bad rooms seems to have mellowed you.

Hi there,

We travel every year across the pond to have a 2 week wonderful vacation in the world. Generally we stay away from DVC for the first 2 nights and in the past have enjoyed sampling the different resorts themes. When we book into DVC resort I am sorry to say that I have always noticed a different attitude to we DVC'ers by the check in staff. So much so I felt it necessary to comment to the desk manager at the BCV by phone, he said he had been made aware of this before but did not think it was founded on fact.

I am affraid to say that, we are seen as fill up class by the CM's!
