Hmm..this sounds vaguely familiar...
sounds like a great IDEA!!

lets see, you could make the E tickets for the most desirable attractions and only include one or two passes in that catagory, and then......

hey, you're right,

where have I seen that before...

The only exception is if the attraction is 101 during the time of your reservation, and then an adjustment will be made.
This would be great!

Are you talking about lift tickets?

At work today we were discussion the part of the plan involving "going directly to your hotel room". We who work in the hotel don't think they can pull this off. We couldn't even get close unless Check-In time was pushed back and OCSD was on hand to evict slow guests at 11am sharp.

Given that it's never certain which hotel rooms will be available (and which get trashed to the point we can't rent them), it's going to be a challenge just to get the guests their room numbers.

Maybe I'm just bitter after spending an entire shift dealing with people who couldn't figure out how to buy tickets or book their dining reservations until the day they arrived. :crabby:

How often do the rooms get trashed like that? I would think that wouldn't happen as much at a place like the Toaster, but I suppose that for SGs, spending a lot of money on a hotel bestows upon them a sense of entitlement and disregard for the property that they borrow for their vacation. Does it correlate with any specific event on property? (Wonder if those NoJ guests are a little rowdy ;) )


Gawrsh, yah-huh!
