How long did you stay? I've seen people say as many as 8 hours. IMO, if it was more than 2.25 hours, that's too long.
How was the courteousness of the rep you dealt with? Again, I've seen mostly negative reviews, but I don't know for sure.
It was about 3-1/2 hours counting breakfast and tour of the property and Spa Loft in building 4. We chose to walk everywhere instead of riding the shuttle, so that added some time, and breakfast was pretty leisurely as we had a guy from Customer Services with us too. This guy asked questions about how all the things we had been promised were working. I told him about problems that I had had with The Registry Collection not sending me any information since we became members of it 18 months ago and that I had made several phone calls and sent emails. I told him that while many people love it, we had found no value and would not be renewing that. He made a note and said that he would get back with me. When we were walking up to the Spa Loft, he asked about the Concierge on our floor and we told him that we had not seen anyone at the desk since we arrived. When we returned to our floor, the Concierge was there and greeted us and then went out of his way to find out where we could go to see the KS/KY game tonight. Since it was not on at the resort, he called Chasers and said they will be having it on at 8 PM. He also said he was off tomorrow and the 8th floor Concierge would be doing double duty and if we needed something, to find him. So, something happened there - we have been here since Saturday and no one has been at the desk anytime when we have been coming and going during the posted hours.
After the tour, we then went to sales floor and were there for close to 2 hours (10 minutes was spent watching a video about the new park that would be going in in conjunction with Cirque du Soleil). We did get to sit on the lovely balcony while we talked to a total of 3 people. Our person was very courteous and low key. He was not pushy at all - probably the easiest going of any we have ever had. According to his manager, he normally sells about 70% of his presentations - too bad he got us. The last guy that came was nice, but sure did try to get us to reconsider. He was the pushiest of all that we saw today, but still had no luck with us.
I agree about the amount of time - it should have just been an update on what is happening and coming up soon, not a time to try to get you to buy more. When we arrived on Saturday, someone saw that we had a packet that we had been given on check-in and commented that their update was over 6 hours, and some friends who are here said their update was most of the day last week.
We have passed on the update most years, and will do so in the future. We are really happy with what we have and do not want to make any more changes in this stage of our lives. Even when you are retired, you cannot go on vacation all the time!
