We arrived at our resort at Disney World, the All-Star Sports, around 3:30 PM. After checking in we made our way to our room. Only to discover that another family was already booked in there! So, back to the desk we go. We were given another room in the same building & on the same floor. We unpacked our things & just took it easy for a little while. About 5:30 PM we decided to eat at the food court before making our way to the Magic Kingdom. Wouldn't you know it, but our food package that we had paid for in advance was not on our card. The cashier was very nice after I explained that we just had to get new keys (your room keys act as your admission tickets, meal tickets, etc.) because of the mix-up with the room. She let us take the food for free & just told us to make sure to go to the front desk after eating. So, that's what we did. Got new keys for the 3rd time & were assured that everything would be alright this time. Off to the Magic Kingdom. Well, we get there & our new keys (3rd time's a charm, right? WRONG!) wouldn't allow us in the park. So, we go over to Customer Service & tell a nice guy named Scott our story. He called our resort & explained that the problem needs to be resolved. Once off of the phone, he gave us passes to get into the park & 2 fastpasses for 2 rides, & a free certificate for a light-up toy for Zoe. Well, we enjoyed ourselves throughout the park. Zoe had a blast riding a roller coaster, playing in Minnie Mouse's house, & even meeting some of the characters. We were also able to see the lighted parade down Main Street. The park closed at 1 AM so before we left we tried getting Zoe her free light-up toy, but the vendor wouldn't take the slip because he said he had never seen one of them before. Well, at that point we were fuming! We found our bus & made our way back to the front desk of the resort. I asked to speak to the manager because I wanted to resolve the issue with our card. After about 25 minutes we were able to make our way to our room with the hope that our first full day would be better! Let me tell ya, for 2 adults that were basically first-timers at Disney World, neither one of us were speaking very highly of the Mouse & his complex!
