Staying in our suite in Orlando. Spent 3 days park hopping, now we're going down to Ft Lauderdale to visit the in-laws and some friends. Spent 20 minutes or so making trips down from our 6th-floor suite to load up our van. One last trip up to make sure nothing was left in our rooms, then we check out and hit the road.
Daughter #1 can't find her cell phone. Shit. Call the resort, no one found one in the room or turned one in. It might be packed in our luggage. We get to our Ft Lauderdale hotel and wife's cell phone rings. It's AT&T. Daughter's phone has made over $600 of long distance calls to Cuba in the last four hours. 
We shut off the phone (cheap repurposed go-phone) and AT&T is crediting off the charges. Fucking hotel employee/thieves for the MFW. God I hate this state. Next vacation I'm going to Branson. Zombie apocalypse can't start fast enough. |

Fuck thieves and all, but you need to somehow get your daughter to pay attention to detail. I go through this with my son all the time.
privileges = responsibility. good luck with it. Here's a traveling tip: Send the kids down ahead of time to get those baggage carts. Get as many as you need. Do ONE trip. There is no need and no excuse for it to take 20 minutes to move your stuff to the car. |

Wife lost her iphone in a Disney bathroom. Went back and asked the female janitor if she found it. "No, check the store across the way to see if it was turned in. " nothin at the store, they told us it was policy to send found stuff to the town hall. Nothing there. We waited a couple hours still nothing. So I finally had the idea to use the find my iphone app thing. It was still in the bathroom.
She went back and asked the same janitor, "no". So my wife started looking at her cart, she got super defensive, so the wife waited till she left then searched it. Found her phone stuffed in the middle of a box of rubber gloves. I'm guessing to silence it because I was calling the thing every minute. We were just glad to not waste anymore time looking for it, but really should have reported the damned liar. |

Wow, tough crowd.
I lived in Florida for 20 years. Moved away after Katrina and never regretted it. Shitty drivers, too goddamn hot and I swear to fucking Christ the other 49 states send the cream of their asshole crop to live there on some sort of exchange program. Like I said, we made about three trips up and down from our room to load the van, phone disappeared from the room during one of the trips. Housekeeping was in and out of the room as we took the last of our things. Already left a message with the resort manager, not expecting anything. Really wish the phone had GPS. |

That's a more likely reason. |

| So thieves aren't in the other 49 states? I have lived here since I was 7 and I am 28 now. Always lived in East Orlando or Winter Park/Casselberry area. I honestly have never seen anything bad happen other than some opportunist thieves at Wally World....On a side note, that gif with bugs bunny sawing off Florida is definetely chuckle worthy. |

I would of had that scumbag fired on the spot. |

Our time share is through Bass Pro, next time I'm going to Big Cedar Lodge. We went to Orlando this time because my sister and wife's sister both go to UCF. Universal was actually really great this last week, not crowded, some rain but nothing ponchos couldn't handle. Food at Islands of Adventure/Universal Studios was far superior to any of the Disney fare. Cheaper, too.
To everyone who told me assholes and thieves are 'everywhere'. Gee, thanks for the news flash.
