We just got back from a wonderful 10 day trip to Disney, with 3 days at BCV (our first time there) and 7 days at BWV. The one bummer is that somewhere along the way, my travel purse "disappeared". I carried it down on the plane so that I'd have all my valuables on my person while travelling. When we got into our room at BCV, I transferred all the cash and extra "wallet" type things into the safe (the purse is not big, but the safes are tiny!). Left my cell phone and my sun glasses case in the purse on the table in the room.
4 days later after changing rooms the purse was nowhere to be found. My first thought was I'd left it in the BCV room when packing, but they didn't have it.
That leaves a couple options:
1. It somehow was removed from my luggage during the day of the transfer, or
2. One of the two times maintenance was in our room at BWV it was removed (we weren't there either time), or
3. Even though I never carry a purse to the parks (I like to avoid the bag check), I took it somewhere and left it there.
The good news is that all I lost was a cell phone, a glasses case, some little candies, and maybe a few pens and spare change (and the nylon purse itself). I had put all the things from the safe into my pockets for the room transfer, so they were all secure. Funny thing, we found one of those distinctive little candies on the sidewalk outside the exit closest to our room.
I know this story is incomplete....I'll fill in the blanks after I've caught up on unpacking, mail, work, etc. In case anyone's travelling soon, I just thought a quick reminder to use the safe was in order...I am sometimes lax about that, especially when I'm at DVC where the rooms aren't cleaned every day. I'm glad I decided to use the safe this trip!
Yes, I contacted BCV, BWV, and Disney claims. Should be getting a call from Disney claims in the next week--I'm not sure what they'll do for me.
Oh, I called Verizon to suspend service on Friday after confirming the purse was nowhere to be found. There was only one call, a one-minute "data" call, made from the phone after it disappeared, so that's good news.
