Got a panicky call from home this morning. Margie had just realized that we had left Katherine’s passport down at Walt Disney World in the room safe. We’d brought it down there to validate her birthday for all those related activities.
I’ve dealt with leaving things behind at hotels, and it’s often not a pretty process. In this case? No worries.
- Called the Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge front desk, and was routed to the Lost & Found desk. Left a message, and was called back within five minutes.
- They already had the passport (and wallet, with a credit card) that were in the safe.
- No need to send the key back; it had already been re-keyed. No charge.
- They just needed to overnight it back to us. I confirmed our address, and they’ll be shipping it to us, to be received tomorrow. No charge.
Easy-peasey. And makes a potentially unpleasant and worrisome event nearly painless. Thanks, Disney!
Good to know since my own daughter and mother are enroute to AK at Disney now. They’ll be landing in about an hour.
Now if my mother looses my daughter’s passport I’ll know what to do. 😀
