Magic that Fades
It is the most Magical Place on the earth, or at least it use to be. During our last trip to Disney i came to a odd realization. It was not that there were issues with the room, or the day at Epcot, or the trip itself. The staff at the resort; which i will not name (Disney's all star Movie resort) was not at all "Disney Magical". We did pre-check in. First we got bumped from the sports resort to the Movie without explaination...ok...moving on. We checked in at 10pm Friday (after the Storm game...Go Storm). When we were checking in (standing in line that i told was not going to exist because i used express check in) i was waiting for one of three people at the window...six people were behind the counter not at a window just talking. So when i did get waited on, she messed up. As i went for breakfast the next morning i found out that my room card (which you are suppose to be able to charge on) said NO charging. Nice. So i had to go back to the room, get my id, Mindy's card which also said no charging and go back to the front desk. There i was waiting on by one of the rudest employees i have ever seen at Disney. Apologize, not her. Not just for the cards, but how about the metal sticking out of the electrical plug in our room. Nothing. I could go on with more of the same, but it was a fun trip. The point although is in a time when the economy is not the best and trips are few and far between, you expect Magical times at one place always. It appears to be fading away. Mickey, please don't lose your magic.
