It's always good to explore other destinations. With 8 people that can be hard on a city, so many different interests. I suggest an all inclusive resort or cruise next time out with the group. Something for everyone and you can meet for meals easy.
I didn't say yours was. I said mine was. You all are impossible. Argue argue argue. Who cares.
COVID infections are free of charge - see you can get free things at WDW
JK.
If it was of the utmost importance to be at the front of the resort, it is best to pay for a preferred room, especially when you are staying at a resort with the layout of All-Star Music. Preferred rooms are in the 2 Calypso buildings. Yes, it would have cost extra, but you would have at least known what buildings you would have been in.
I had intended to, but the lady said word for word "I will put in your request, they should be able to accommodate you since we have some open rooms in Calypso."
ahh - that would have been a red flag to me, because I know that the Preferred rooms in Calypso are an extra cost, not a request - and the room assigner is given the rooms to assign and looks at the requests about 3-5 days before arrival, and much can change between when you talk to the person on the phone and when you arrive. Those that pay for Preferred Rooms will be given priority over those that request them.
Depends if it was their bands design that failed.
Bunch of hoopla.
Seriously? This is one of most ridiculous things I have seen on these forums. "I demand that Disney replace my Magic Band immediately at no cost to me because the design failed on my band." Everyone please be sure to check the structural integrity of your bands.
Sorry, that sucks. We ended up with covid after our Disney trip, too. I hope they all have mild cases and feel better soon.
Hope they get better soon
At emotional, stressful times like this, I turn to the immortal Broadway classic "Come From Away" for life lessons from the dramatic climax of the show - the fish kissing sequence:
Kissing a fish in Newfoundland would be a better vacation than the one I had, lol
That’s what happens. We have members of this very website bragging that if they test positive for COVID, they will still go to the parks. Grrr.
Thank you for your report Wonders, and I'm sorry you had the experience you did. For future reference, I had a serious issue with the AC and not being able to go lower. All you need to do is call the front desk, and they will send maintenance to the room and unlock it. Took about 10 minutes for them to get there, and housekeeping (what little there was) was given a notice by the front desk to not touch the thermostat for the duration of our stay.
