Dan's Dad: Thank you for posting this as it really helps many people who are reading this. I think we can begin to figure out a strategy in dealing with these room checks that won't cause a problem for the CM's who have to implement it.
I have a feeling that thanks to this POSITIVE thread we can develop some great suggestions by gathering information from everyone's experiences
and from people who have different needs for remaining as undisturbed as possible while in the rooms.
I see a possible sticky post coming out of this thread...
Sort of like a:
what can be expected,
what works,
What doesn't work, (Example: addressing the problem when you are back home)
How to address your specific needs with the cast members,
Who best to speak with IN PERSON (Example:a manager) and WHERE to have that conversation (Front Desk at the resort)
and a general things not to do (For Example CALL from the room to speak with someone because you are speaking with the call center, etc.. etc...)
Just to be clear here, our goal is to put all this in one place to be as helpful as possible to Dis Board readers. To further spell it out, having recommendations in one place is way more helpful that scrolling through a bunch of threads.
If you have suggestions or experiences please post. The hive mind of the Dis Boards is fantastic for informing people about what is going on at WDW and how to make their trips better!
If you are so inclined, please be understanding and resist the urge to complain about what we are trying to do. That doesn't help anyone. If this irritates you please rise to the challenge and be helpful. If that is too hard then scroll on!
