I understand. I keep waffling on our upcoming CL stay, but my DH is only willing to stay YC/BC with CL bc he really dislikes the food/restaurant options there. We got a really good price for the CL, but the regular room would’ve been even cheaper. Sometimes I kind of miss doing more ADRs when we’re already paying for CL. Oh well. I agree with you that’s it’s still a lovely resort.
Yes, we have had magic band issues before but this stay was particularly bad. We had to go to the main check in desk multiple times to even be able to access the floor after waiting forever for the elevator (busy time) only to find out it wouldn’t work once we got in). When we finally got it to work for the elevator we discovered our room was possibly the farthest from the elevators and CL CM desk and when we got there with all of our luggage the band had somehow stopped working and would not open our room causing us to have to lug our stuff back to the desk to seek help...we felt like we spent the entire short stay waiting for things. We checked in to Poly the next day and while we initially had issues they “fixed” them. YC tried to “fix” them at least 5-6 times in less than 24 hours.Sorry to hear that. Just to note, the magic band issue can happen at any resort. We had an issue when we moved from the Beach Club to Polynesian a couple years ago. My DH’s magic band would not work for anything! It took three full days just to get his magic band to work at Poly. The ended up having to delete all existing bands, and finally just gave him a new one! Funniest part was, as soon as his was fixed and working again, mine stopped working! They ended up having to delete all and then replace mine as well! First world problems!!!
Thanks!
Congratulations on your wonderful pixie dust upgrade. What room category did you originally book?
It sounds like you had a wonderful trip.
It has been frustrating to be unable to decline MBs. We don't want any more of them!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have grey bands waiting at the front desk and don't pick them up, they will be removed from your MDE account a few days after your trip is over. But it is annoying that they keep sending them.
I went into MY PLANS, and scrolled down through the DAILY ITINERARY until I found the reservation. Then clicked on START CHECK-IN. Not sure if it comes up if it's at the top of your planning page.
We had it at SL in January
Then you must have someone in your stay that must receive new MB
We’ve had many problems over many stays, but oddly enough some stays have been totally fine, some had a couple of minor Issues, and some have been one big fight. However, the problems had always been with our room door and elevator/building access. Then This trip the problems were with park tickets, and with 3 or 4 trips to GR where they had to call IT each time they all told me the same thing- when an account gets too many bands/points of info on it it causes problems. They told me it sometimes causes the account to almost split, so some bands would match up to some of our info/tickets and other bands match to other tickets/info. A case where all bands weren’t interchangeable, when we took a different band from the one they had worked on the day before the new one wouldn’t let us in a park. So after the third time we figured it out and used the same bands the rest of the trip instead of the coordinating ones we had planned for each park. One GS CM did tell me I should call and have them set me up with a new MDE Account, and they would move the bands I wanted to keep. I remember that being a big topic of discussion a while ago here.
What do you mean rotate them first? When I look at them on my phone they are all upright. I guess the ones I take in landscape post ok and the vertical ones are sideways, but it isn’t practical to take all photos landscape plus I forget and take the way that fits best.
