This experience was definitely a case of Bell Services employees not behaving as they had in the past. I feel it is their job to help me transport items to my room as they had every other time. Others disagree. I had done the grocery run many times before without any problems getting help from...

We will have to agree to disagree on the basic service responsibilities at Disney resorts.

There was no cooking in the room. As far as the "legal right to take a break", all of them hanging out, taking a break at the same time, AT the bell station, was a major clue about what was really going on. If you were there, which you were not, you would have better understood what was going...

I did not call specific people "sheeple". If I said that 'Joe' was a sheeple I could see your point. I think it's valid to refer to a group that possesses those behaviors as sheeples. As far as the term 'Disney defenders' is concerned, they do in fact exist, and including them as a category when...

In my opinion, This is exactly what Disney is doing. Now, the primary purpose of EVERY Disney effort is to increase the stock profits. Disney is no longer about animation, films, parks, resorts, sports channels, TV networks, etc., etc. It's about the STOCK PRICE. All of these other things are...

There is no need to argue with me. I am merely relating my experience. Your mileage may vary. Good luck with your Disney trips. ~NM

During previous trips with the same traveling party, we did not have any problems getting assistance with our groceries from bell services. Therefore we did not think, nor could we have anticipated the need for a special request for assistance that was in fact regularly provided by bell...

While we did not consider this option, at the time of this experience the rules from TSA were tighter. Your scenario may not have been possible during the dates of this trip. Besides, it was easier just to go to Walmart and get all the items that were needed above the ones that we could take in...

But Bell Services Does in fact assist with grocery delivery to the room. We shall agree to disagree. But suppose you have a special needs person that needs food items that must be kept refrigerated, and that you can't transport them in your luggage. You may be blessed with simpler needs but...

I'm sure if you let Disney know that you had a special need, say groceries that needed to be delivered to your room ASAP BECAUSE Bell services said that they had no room in their refrigerator for the groceries that needed to be refrigerated, that it would be reasonable for Bell services to help...

Using this logic it wouldn't be part of a stay at at Disney resort to provide bus or other transportation to the parks, or games at the pool, or resort luggage check in, or package delivery including groceries from outside vendors, but they do. Suppose I arrived at the resort with a suitcase and...

Hence the melting ice cream story that got them moving. That had zero impact on my wallet and it had no effect on my imaginary ice cream. That "different approach" was in the original post. I'm frugal and I refuse to waste my money, especially on people who don't earn it. I am however a 20%...

I can assure you I'm an excellent tipper but I think it's really a low-class move to start waving money in people's faces to get them to do their actual jobs. A tip is a reward for good service, not a bribe to do the actual job. Since no one was interested in doing the work I wasn't going to...

A) Disney is far from being the last resort to charge parking fees. Case in point: Last fall I stayed at a Palm Parkway resort (Less than 5 minutes away from Disney property) that had no resort or parking fees. For an average of $101 a night over 17 days I stayed in a suite that had a full...

So, I guess when I pay for valet parking, with cash, and no one scans my band, because valet doesn't do that, I get "dinged in my MDE file for going to the parks after a meal? Because that is allowed, officially by Disney. Where did you get your tinfoil hat? ~NM

We checked in to Riverside and while the rest of the family was waiting for the rooms to be ready, I took a cab and made a Walmart run to get snacks and drinks for the rooms (3 families worth). I get dropped off at the resort with the groceries and I need Bell Services to bring a golf cart and...

Gee thanks. Could you be a little more specific? What do they do specifically. Using that term in a sentence was a good start but I'm going to need more information, like an actual job description. Think Who, What Where and When....

What does an "Entertainment tech" do at WDW?

Sorry, Disney has "Gone Green" meaning NO BAGS FOR YOU! However you can BUY a bag to carry your purchases for $1.00. So, what Disney means by saying they went green means this kind of Green: (at YOUR expense)

That's because all imagineers have to be accountants, first and foremost. Profits before show. Deliver the cheapest crap, sensationalize it, charge the most you can. That is Disney Imagineering today. You sir are quite the wag.... ~NM
