Wilderness Lodge Room Reservation Problem (and Solution!) at Check-In

[vbfamily]

goofy4tink,

I agree. We are all just expressing our opinions. That's what the boards are for.

I'm a little surprised at where these types of threads go once they are started.

The thread starts, there are statements for or against, some agree or disagree, then those of us who actually somewhat agree with the OP on an issue end up getting flamed by the OP himself.

It has happened more than once.

I value everyone's opinions. We all have different views on what happened originally and on the secondary issue of the reservation being accessed.

the only thing i am wondering is if they give you 1 day ph tickets, why did you not use those that day you went to MK and was let in till 1:00? that was no money out of your pocket if you had of done that.

Right! Some people need to STOP and take a big, deep breath here.

For the newer posters to these boards, now would be a good time to read the Posting guidelines - particular attention is drawn to the <i>personal attacks</i>. Just because you don't like something is no excuse to go a little nuts.

Next - with concern to privacy....in case you haven't noticed, this is a public forum, with over 40,000 members registered and for <i>everyone</i> to read at their leisure....read every name, capital letter, full stop...EVERYTHING. If you post information here - it is no longer private, PERIOD. That's the internet. PERIOD.

Nipizarro - Whatever violations you consider to have taken place to your privacy with regards to AskMickey, is between you and that person...or with The WDW Co. I suggest you take it up with them - privately.

Now - there will be one and only one warning here. Continue this thread calmly and politely, or it'll be locked.

Peachgirl quoted me

quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guest is given a map showing the location of the assigned room he has chosen to wait for. (I assume that the general location is indicated, not the specific room--this is what the CR desk did when we checked in last December).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and then posted:

That's not what happened according to the op. All the op said was that the requests had been received and that a room was blocked.

I call your attention to the OP's follow-up post on page 1 of this discussion:

We had a copy of the map on which the initial check-in agent located and diagrammed our "blocked-out" room, which was not even remotely close to the room subsequently given to us.


Does that change your opinion of the situation? I understand that requests are just requests---so if the OP showed up at WL, was given a room and didn't get his requests, fine. However, OP instead declined a currently available room (even though they could have used the rest) because a better one was supposedly being held for them.

I appreciate PeachGirl's defense of AskMickey, and I'm sure AskMickey has been very helpful to many on these boards, but I've reread AskMickey's first post here and fail to see how it was helpful---rather, AskMickey has now turned a happy WL customer into an irritated one.

Thanks for pointing out what, in fact, I actually stated before imaginations went wild and began creating incorrect and idiosyncratic versions of what I had stated. As you've pointed out, it's all there in black-and-white! As I've stated previously, it is not too large a leap to surmise that people's individual baggage is what is most clearly operative here, and the soapbox will predictably continue to get larger and larger (imagine 5 pages of replies thus far, and only a small percentage of them actually sharing in my glee!!!) - not exactly what I imagined this forum was for -- but "LIVE AND LEARN," "ONCE BITTEN,TWICE SHY," and all those other WISE maxims!

PS: Hard to imagine that such efforts and energies can be expended by citizens of a country preparing itself for war !!!! Scary!

Right you are, that is what the op claimed was done. My apologies for the mistake.

It doesn't change the fact however, that if the op was given a room key, it's impossible that she ever "had" the room that she was shown. The room key system doesn't work that way. Once you have a key, you have a specific room unless a change is made in your key.

Even if the impossible happened and "her" room was "given away" it still doesn't change the fact that one is not entitled to any room requests even if they are told that they were given. If indeed the op was told her requests were met, the CM made a mistake. But she didn't make a mistake about anything that the op was entitled to in the first place. When an error causes a guest to lose something they are fully entitled to, then there is a valid basis for complaining. In this case, that didn't happen.

Locked at the OP's request!
