Worried about resort not having record of upcoming exchange

[pmccruden]

I'm a little worried abvout an upcoming exchange as I have never exchanged with II before.

We are exchanging through II into two units at the Wesgate Lakes Resort in Orlando Thanksgiving week, so we are arriving next Saturday 11/22. We wanted to have both units in the same building so I called the resort a few weeks back to make that request and they had no record of the reservation. They said they don't typically get exchanges until two weeks before so I waited till this past Monday and called again and still they had no record of the reservation. They suggested I call II and have them fax a copy of the reservation to the front desk. I did that and although II was reluctant they said they would do it. I called back later that day and the resort said they had no record but it would probably take 24-48 hours to get it in the system. I called today and the resort said they had no record of the reservation but not too worry that those don't get into the system till 24-48 hours before arrival.

My question is should I be worried? I don't want to have two families arriving next Saturday with no reservations and I would really like to get them in the same building.

Any advice appreciated.

Any advice appreciated.

Chill! If you have your two II confirmations in hand, you will be fine.

Can you fax the resort a copy of your II Confirmation Certificate? Perhaps that would help with your building request.

Its not unusual for the resort to not receive the actual names on the reservation until a few days before. Dont worry about it.

This is completely normal - If you are worried about it, you should FAX them a copy of your reservation.

Thanks. I'll stop worrying about it and call them next Friday.

I had a similar thing with a DVC resort that I will be heading to in two days. Played the go around between II and DVC forever. Finally a DVC person checked with my name instead of the ressie number. Bingo - for some reason II gave me a completely different ressie number than what DVC had. DVC told me not to worry about the number difference because they had me in the system.
