Title: Not happy at all at 'wake up call' change....
Post by: Martyn on January 30, 2010, 12:52:22 PM
So what the hell happened to Goofy waking up in your hotel room?

That had to be one of the best 'little' touches ever, that is what Disney is all about, but now Goofy's gone and its the talking clock lady, how magical....

Seriously, I am so annoyed at this. Its the little things like this that make Disney so special, so why on earth are they removing this little things?

I had no idea this existed, but I can imagine why you're upset. That is stupid.

Goofy always woke me up on all my visits, until now. My Jan09 trip he was there, but not my Jan10 trip.

So has he been taken off on all hotels then?

We only ever had the Goofy wake up call at the Disneyland Hotel, never at the other Disney Hotels. And the last time (January 2010) it was gone there too.

@Martyn: at what hotel(s) did you get the Goofy wake up call? @HelygenC, at what hotel did you have the Mickey wake up call?

By the way, I have a mild ocd that forces me to try collect, photograph and record everything related to Disneyland Paris. So, of course I have that Goofy wake up call: http://www.filesavr.com/IPFrH9vG (http://www.filesavr.com/IPFrH9vG%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)  :-"

Nicolai, Goofy had always woke me up  at the Seqouia and Hotel New York. Never stayed in any other hotel.

Hotel Cheyenne, I'm guessing it'll be the same throughout the other hotels?

I hope so! Goofy used to do them all, so hopefully Mickey will too!

Well, we had wake up calls at all Disney hotels but Camp Davy Crockett and we only had Goofey at the Disneyland Hotel, and in January 2010 not even there. In fact it was quite inconsistent what or who would wake you up. Sometimes it was a machine and sometimes Someone at the reception.

Maybe they had the same system in all hotels and it failed over ti
e and they had to replace it with something else?

Years ago I thought it was Mickey Mouse who used to be the wake up call ,so may be its gone back to the original !

Hi,

In December 2010 at HNY, the Wake-Up call was provided by Goofy.

Wow Niocolai that's one of the coolest OCD's I've ever heard of. You woudnt have recorded any Frontierland music would you? It more specifically the music there with a take on the "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" music.
Cos I live it and I can't find it anywhere.

Lol, all the fussed I kicked up about the wake-up call change, and desperately wanting to know what its like now, and our wake up call button wasn't working!lol So we had to use our mobile's! :lol:

Pretty gutted though to be honest, as its a very magical touch we missed out on.

If its of interest to anyone, in November 2010 it was Mickey who woke us up! My mum would groan when the phone rang and go "girls one of you speak to Mickey, I'm too tired!"
