View Full Version : A CRO mistake that REALLY worked out!

Last week I posted a thread asking if I should switch from the WL to the GF. Well, based on your responses I did so. Because the trip is a gift for my wife's birthday, I had all of the paperwork sent to my travel agent, who also happens to be my sister. Well, she called me this morning to say that she received a confirmation of the cancellation of the WL trip, but no confirmation on the new GF ressie. She called and--NO GF ressie existed. The credit card had been credited back, according to Disney (AMEX said there is a credit pending), but I suddenly had no resservation anywhere! Well, since I actually made the ressie, I called CRO back. Of course GF was no longer available, and neither was WL. As you may imagine, I was prety upset, but I kept my cool and asked what they could do for me. The lady @ CRO (who was EXTREMELY helpful) looked around for some more rooms. She found rooms at a couple of places, but nothing on the AP discount that I had. She asked me to hold and came back a few minutes later. She offered me 3 nights @ AKL Concierge for $890.00:bounce:! I can't say if that is a great deal all of the time, but for Memorial Day weekend I thought it was too good to be true; afterall, my GF LV room was more than that. I think they made up for their goof, don't y'all?

Typo--that was supposed to be $890.00

That's great we too will be at AKL Concierge from 5/24 - 5/27. You are paying $296/nite (not sure if the $890 was with or without tax) and we are paying $329/nite without tax. So I'll say you got a great deal!

See you there!

You will LOVE the AKL concierge. We were there last summer for 11 nights!! It was wonderful, be sure to call ASAP-NOW! to get Sunrise Safari reservations. It was the best part of our trip. Have a wonderful, relaxing, pampered time!!

I've already booked the Sunrise Safari! I spoke with the itenerary coordinator this afternoon. Interesting noteL she asked me if I already had any PS. She then said that she would cancel those and make new ones for us. I wonder why?
