No...she complained about the horrible, obnoxious, rude, loud, unacceptable behavior from the Pop Warner group....the kind of behavior that CAN have a very negative affect on your trip, even if you are in the most magical place on earth. The behavior that Disney lets that group get away with, when they shouldn't. And she DID NOT ask for any compensation whatsoever. Disney volunteered to give her the two free nights....and she took them...who wouldn't??
Why is everyone so down on the OP? She had a very legitimate complaint, she did not ask or expect to be compensated, and then she posted something she thought was funny....never saying ANYTHING about wanting more or the two free nights not being enough.

A suggestion to the OP... use your "free" rooms in July @ the All-Stars. It should be nice and quiet for you then.

The post wasn't to bash the OP (even though she did complain about the crowds [in this case pop warner crowds]). It was to send a message to the people who spend nothing but their day here at WDWMagic being negative and complaining constantly that not they can live off their talent in WDW.
You're right figment, Disney shouldn't be giving away free nights due to rude guests. They should identify those groups that are consistently a problem and deal with them accordingly.

I've been to about 65 hard ticket events since 2007, running from Pirate & Princess and the Halloween and Christmas parties. I never had an issue with non-ticketed guests before. During the first 30 minutes of the party, Disney has a system in place to check wristbands and require those guests without one to exit the park. In fact, it's not uncommon to be checked multiple times, even if one was sitting in the same location during this process.
So, out of curiosity, what happened during your visit?

I agree you should of received the compensation, but be glad you got what you did!!! I am sure many others who stayed during that time probably did not.

That's real mature. You are questioning my intelligence when you are incapable of having an intelligent conversation without throwing around insults. I just have a hard time believing that a group of cheerleaders ruined an entire vacation. If you can't talk like an adult you should keep your opinions to yourself. IT IS TIME TO GROW UP AND LEARN THAT NOT EVERYONE AGREES WITH YOU.

Our last visit to WDW was in July. We stayed at the ASMusic. This was our 3rd stay as a family at the All Stars and had never had a problem. This year was HORRIBLE!!! The tour groups ran crazy all hours of the night, screaming, pounding on doors, knocking you over to get to the elevators. The room's AC was broke (in July) took 2 days to fix. The exhaust fan in the bathroom started smoking. Around our area (Broadway section) the outside was litered with trash on a daily basis. I did go to the front desk and recieved no help. I was told that they were booked and could not move us to another room. My parents and brother stayed at the Shades of Green and we found ourselves only sleeping and showering at the ASMusic b/c of the problems. When I returned from vacation I emailed Disney about our problems. I never ASKED for ANYTHING!!!! I simply told them our issues and how disappointed I was. I stated that I hope management could take my letter and use it for a learning tool. I did not expect anything more that a apology. I received a phone call from a representive and also a follow up letter with 3 day hooper passes and 2 night stay at any All Star Resorts. I do not feel bad for accepting what Disney is offering me. I am hoping that our next WDW vacation is a good one.
If you write a letter to Disney that does not mean you are asking for anything in return. You have every right to complain, write letters, and to let your vacation destination know if you are satisified with their service. You paid hard earned money for your vacations, I did not want another family to expierence what we did.

I'm gonna side with you on this one xtina, it's funny how these things work. They make you think like you're getting a deal when in actuality you really not. Say you want to get free dinning for your next trip and lets say you save $300, and pay full price for your room. Now you call and complain about a horrible experiences you had while you were down there and they quite you down by giving you 2 free rooms, great!? kinda but not really. What would be great is if they refunded a night or 2 from your previous visit, but getting money back isn't that easy.
IMO you should take advantage of the 2 free nights and try to get down for a long weekend or something, maybe 2-4 nights.

This is the kind of stuff that Disney should compensate for.
We had a room at POP near the pool and people were yelling and screaming till 3 AM. We called the front desk and were given a new location. Question to the OP. Did you even attempt to change your room?

Pandoras box was opened with you just giving an opinion how you felt about this! :lookaroun I am happy for you! My wife and I had some problems in"06 at PO, and I really did not know I could go ask to be moved, and did not mail in a complaint. I sure would not "look" for any "free pass". I know that you did not either! As much as there has been complaints about the PW groups, DISNEY should take care of this, they might be making X amount with these groups, but Y amount is from others like you and I! Giving out free things will at some point come back and haunt you. I also have one question, can you combine this free packet if you wanted to do extra days that you pay for?
If Disney would do this then they would not have to compensate guests. The reality is that they know about the issues with these groups but they turn a blind eye until they have no choice but to act. (ie when the team from Hawaii was removed from property due to fighting in 2007) It wouldn't take much to make things at the resorts better. Have half a dozen or so either uniformed or plain clothes security guards with the authority to act accordingly wandering around the resorts with these groups. Once a few groups leave the All Stars in the back of police cars the problem will go away.

Think for yourselfer
A simpler solution to dealing with these issues would be to not stay at the value resorts. You know what you are getting yourself into, and if you don't, thats on you. There are plenty of ways to find out when large groups of kids are going to be staying the value resorts. I would never ever stay at a resort where pop warner or a group like them were staying. It is asking for trouble.

Yea but it should't be that way. I will never stay at any value again but it shouldn't be that way. Heck I would never stay anything under deluxe but the GF will never let me :brick:
While I follow this practice myself it is not a solution to the problem. If you were to order fish at a nice steak restaurant and it was not good would an acceptable explanation be "Well you should have know better than to order fish here." People will spend a considerable amount of money to have a Disney vacation at a value resort. They expect a clean room and a relatively quiet stay. When groups of kids are allowed to raise hell at all hours of the night it is unacceptable. It would not fly at a motel 6 and it certainly unacceptable at any Disney resort.
Let me get this straight....I DID NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CROWDS...NO, you are INCORRECT!
I complained to Disney that these kids were outside our rooms practicing their cheers at 12 midnight, screaming past our rooms at 1am and knocking and running at 2am...on. Then they had the fun game of running up to little kids in the food court (my son included), screaming into their faces and running away laughing....while we are sitting there trying to eat.
6am "wake up calls" from these same girls lining up past everyone's room windows and then clapping and screaming on top of there lungs "HERE WE GO (insert school name here) HERE WE GO!!!!" clapping and shaking their maracas. I was walking back from the food court, this lady was in front of me, two of them walk past me, bump me, walk past her, bump her, the woman says "Excuse me" the one girl turns around and says "F**k you B**Ch" this woman was stunned. I said to her "be thankful their not YOUR kids." Then we open our door one morning to find a pile of McDonalds garbage against our door, I look down to the other doors and they did the same to them also.
yes, all of this was called into the front desk, they were frazzled by all the calls, I think they were pretty overwhelmed.... I feel I had ever right to complain!!!
But why shouldn't I? We are a group of six people every year, we need two rooms and that's very costly even in a moderate resort, I should be able to stay wherever I want and not have to deal w/ that abuse.
EXACTLY what my point was...thank you. I didnt expect to get ANYTHING I just wanted my voice to be heard.
I never EXPECT Im not that type of person.
