But end of the story, we (as we are in Germany) won't receive any paperwork at all, no luggage tags, no lil booklet (and I know those things are often missing when checking in) no coupon for the 200$ GC and whatever comes with it,.. Really? I spent two paychecks for a vacation and you don't have the 1,50£ to ship some magical Mickey Mail?
My Room Request is still in their system though, not sure if she just went through the previous mails and put it back in there or if it was still in there but let's see...

Thank you so much, we also will not be splashing out on a golf cart as just cannot afford it.

If the $200 GC is part of your package, then surely they can email the voucher to you. I'm sure someone a few post back had new vouchers emailed to them.

Heading over to FWC next week for Mickey's backyard BBQ. I'll try to get some pics and try to pm them to you.

Pink bubble ... if you like , I don't mind if you want to get Disney to post your package to me and I can forward it on to you ? Seems silly that you are not able to receive it 😊

We're not getting a cart either... did some research though & 20 minutes is the average to walk the length of the resort from the reception to the dock.

if your cabin is close to main road then 8-10 minutes to walk to the Meadows pool / trading post from loop 2800 (furthest cabin loop from main pool)

If those timings are true then all this hysteria about needing a golf cart to get around is unfounded in my opinion.

Only day I was overly concerned about the transport situation was my wedding day but Disney have granted approval that I can be collected & dropped off at my cabin & don't have to make my way to reception to be collected from there.

Awwww you guys rock thank you all for your lovely, kind offers but for now I'm good I think. I think I'll write them again about the voucher and hope for the best on arrival, if it's not there, guess who will get a nice email?
It's just annoying that even those small things that are part of your vacation and the magic are left out. We have family in the U.K. (since my OH is from there) so I also thought about having it send to them and they send it to us but why should they step in if it's clearly not their job? And I bet WDTC would come up with a excuse about they can't do it because it has sensitive personal informations in there and bla...

The worst thing about it is the tent that they have put up as a restaurant. You have to queue to pay.then queue again for a waistband.then you queue outside until people have left before they allow you inside the door to wait until you can join the food line. And when you get there the breakfast is not very good. In fact I complained to the senior vice president who was on a site visit and I told him that it was disgusting and not Disney normal high standards. We decided after that to drive next door and use art of animation food court.
Here is a video of the drive from the main gate. I have also posted a walk round of the resort.
