You have my complete sympathy! We just returned July 1 - July 6. we knew it would be hot, we knew it would be crowded. We checked in 8 am, ran over to Epcot and my key would not scan. See more about that below. THEN Guest Relations would not give DH a GAC for dd. He told the castmember to call Mr. Lee Cockerell, Executive Vice President. I had showed DH the thread at http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=825386 and he remembered. The cast memebers attitude changed IMMEDIATELY. He cheerfully issued a GAC dated for the remainder of our stay. All we needed was an uncrowded area, preferable shade for waiting. We used Fastpass as much as humanely possible and only used the GAC twice in 5 days!joannelee217 said:after a long flight, and after waiting forever in the lobby you would have been tired too
One has nothing to do with the other
Our 9 yo special needs child enjoyed Disney but is by no means ready to return! Given the choice to do it over we would probably do less days and just visit the MK. It was the first time in my entire life I looked forward to coming home from a vacation.
I think the final straw for me was when after relaxing at the pool, I could not get back into our room. DH & DD had gone to Disney Quest (lines there too!)There had been problems with my key card/plastic thingy ALL week. I cannot tell you how many new cards they gave me. We lost count...This afternoon I am speaking of I had to stand in line in the lobby, not once but twice in a wet bathsuit! The second time they finally came to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the lock on our door! DUH All in all it took me over an hour to get back into the room. At 3:15 in the afternoon the room had not even been made up! Housekeeping showed up at 4:20 pm
