Wake Up Calls

skwak · 11-17-2004

Just two quick points regarding wake-up calls at the resorts:

I use to get a wake up call in the morning and sometimes it was Mickey, sometimes it was just a plain old wake-up call. I, like a little kid, really wanted to hear Mickey wake me up. Someone suggested to make my wake up call for an odd time like 7:05 or 6:50 and that would help. I tried it this time at OKW and I got Mickey every time!

Also, apparently you can ask to get a wake up call for more than Mickey. My son set up a wake up call one night and the CM asked what character he wanted. I think the choices were Mickey, Donald and Goofy. He picked Goofy and sure enough Goofy woke him up the next morning! I am not sure if this is available everywhere but I say give it a try!!

This isn't an option at the All-Stars. Wake-ups are an automated system where you use your phone to program your wake-up call.

Honestly, it's not a great system. I mean, it's reliable and the phone rings at the desired time. But the call is all static and it's difficult to recognize Mickey's voice.

That may be true but I love it just the same!

Thanks for passing on these suggestions! EVen if it doesn't work everytime, it is worth a shot!

I wish I could get Mickey to call me every morning at home. It would make me feel a lot better than a %&*$ buzzer.

chastmastr · 11-17-2004

I got the cub an alarm clock which plays Disney music (not sure whether it was licensed or some fly-by-night company -- it was on eBay). There's nothing, I mean NOTHING, like "It's a Small World" to get someone out of bed.

I requested a wake up call our first morning wakening at 7:30am and it was

!!!
And I could hear him very clear. (I held the phone between my daughter and I

)
I also made her answer the phone which was very hard since she is hard to wake in the early am!

We have gotten Mickey every time we have used the system and let me tell you never answer the phone if the kids are with you. I will never live that down answering it and not letting the kids hear Mickey on the other end.

Jeff,
For a small fee I'll call you every morning and do my best Mickey impression.

Jeff:

You should get yourself one of those alarm clock CD players that will play the CD instead of a buzzer. Then you can pop a Disney CD in there and you'll be all set.

When we stay at the All-Stars (or the PC next month) we get two rooms, so the kids get their own phone. So, I get Mickey to wak me up on our phone and Mickey wakes the kids up on theirs.

I'd hit my snooze alarm with a baseball bat if it played Small World!

That was one of the best parts of going to a convention at WDW. What better way to get ready for 8 hours of lecture sessions then having Mickey wake you up!
