So I mentioned earlier that Tony is our resident Military person and my copilot on this trip. Well, his OCD kicked in yesterday.
I sent him a friendly reminder text letting him know how much he still owed on the trip and when it was due. 2 hours later I get a reply saying "quick, what's the reservation number?" After a few texts back & forth- him asking questions and me answering them- and another 2 hours, he finally calls me and keeps me on the phone for 2 hours going over our itinerary, pros/cons/price difference of free dining vs military discounts, and departure time. Oh yea AND he mentions that when he called Disney and gave my reservation number to the CM, his system says my reservation is no longer valid due to nonpayment!!!!!????!!!
After our 2 hour phone convo, I emailed my TA, slightly panicked about the nonpayment issue, especially since I've paid off at least half of my trip. A few hours later, I couldn't take it anymore, I had to call my TA! I hated to bother him on a Sunday evening, but the fate of my Disney trip was at stake! He reassured me that my reservation was indeed intact and promised to double check. Whew!
I talked to TA around 5pm and then went on to tend to my motherly duties. Fast forward to 11:40, I'm half asleep when I get a text from Tony asking if I'm still up. (He's 2 hours behind me, so it was still early for him.) It took everything I had to not answer him and start another 2 hour Disney conversation. DH would have killed me!
When I woke up this morning, somehow I already knew I had an email from Tony, but I wasn't expecting to find out he sent it at nearly 3am. Obviously he was up half the night going commando on my beloved, color coded, spreadsheet. He "made it easier to read," meaning he took away all the pretty colors I'd used. Boo! He also made an alternate version of the spreadsheet with his ideas, and a 3rd tab with a pricing breakdown of FD vs Military. Here we go, itinerary #....4!? I think...
I'll post pics of my sheet & the 3 he made, next post.
