Well, just called the 1407wdisney hotline to see if they could help me know what discounts are going on or if there were any for September. I knew it was a long shot, but was hoping for some general advice. Man, I guess I shouldn't have called.
When I asked if there were any promotions yet for September, the cm said:
"Well, it looks like you've all ready tried to call about 6 or 7 times and have gotten the same answer that you will get this time and that is no. There is nothing out for that time. Calling that many times will not help you get a discount, so there is really only one time to call and that is when you are ready to make an actual reservation."
I had to interrupt her scolding to let her know that this was my first time calling. I had not called the reservation system since my last trip in 2008. She proceeded to say:
"Well, I guess you haven't called. My mistake, but you have been on our website and have saved trips. 3 for September, 2 for August. Am I not correct? You've also been listening to the music and playing the games (which, yes, my children do. I thought that's what they were meant for?)
I told her that yes, that was true, I was still in the planning phase and just trying to figure out my options. She continued:
"Well, promotions like that only come out 3 to 4 months before hand and it would be wiser to simply check the websites instead of calling every day asking. (once again, to clarify, this was my first call!)"
Of course, being the pushover I am, I thanked her for her time and hung up, but I am crushed and feel really stupid for calling. Guess I'll stick to the website to make my reservations and not have to deal with cranky cms. I was shocked. In 2008 when I called, they were always so kind. She just made me feel like an idiot.
