We've stayed on-site at Walt Disney World on two occasions. Once at the Contemporary Resort and once at the All Star Music. One of the cute fun extras that is provided is a wake up call from the "Top Mouse".
Each night before going to bed I would use the wake up call feature found on the buttons of your phone. The first morning I allowed the phone to ring long enough to wake up the children, then designate one of them to answer the phone. When the voice on the other end was Mickey's, the child would "wake up" excited and wake the others up. After that first morning though, at bedtime I'd tell the kids which one got to answer the phone the next morning.
Never did I have any problems getting the designated child up and usual as not, the others would also try to stick their ears up to the phone to hear Mickey also. This was a fun and easy way to get sometimes grumpy children up and going.
This has become a tradition for our family and when we take the trip next Spring with my daughter's High School Choir, I can't wait to pass this little tip on to the other adult chaperones. Younger kids may be grumpy, but teenagers can be down right sleepyheads, even at the most magical place in the land.
Now folks, I realize that this is a short epinion, but I've written other epinions in this area and I just wanted to add this cute wake up call feature in. You can only write just so much about a wake up call feature, but I wanted to add it as it is so cute. Remember though to be patient. The voice takes a little time before it comes on, but it's worth the wait :)
