Count Nick in!!!.

I'll help in any way possible, plus our close proximity helps!
And I agree with you, Lisa & Cindy did an awesome job last year!
Definately will be hard to top or compare!

Hey, just to clarify, credit where credit is due.

Lisa did all of the actual work on the pillowcases. They really were nice!

I helped with the financial part of it and keeper of the list.

Wow it took alot longer than I thought for a sell out! I'm still doing the happy dance that all of us made it thru.

I'm surprised too! I thought for sure it would sell out quicker than the last one.

I was just wondering.It seems like all the drops and long holds were on the 800#. We all made it so maybe they will have it fixed by the next one.

Wasn't the problem last year with the 800 # too??

I just looked back at a thread (DCL Member Cruise) from last member cruise call in and it looks like it took me more than an hour longer to get on the phone with a live person last year compared to this year. Annmarie

PS - this was my 2,700th post!

Cindy, yes the 800# had problems last year too.I kept calling that # and it kept dropping me. Ended up booking on the 407# last year too.

Yeah Annmarrie!

Ok, we're back from the craziest 4yo birthday party ever. The theme was Rock-n-Roll, and there was a band to entertain the adults (& children) and then there was a bounce house for the kids. What a blast, but I don't know that I could ever top a band at a kids party.

Well, now to catch up on the 3 pages that I have to read.

Amy, your pic has my shirts in it!!

Hey Julie, you are exactly 1 month older than me!!! How funny is that??

What's funny is that is also the pic for our Christmas cards that we had made in Sept on the Wonder.

I'm not too surprised that it didn't sell out as fast. I think the phone problems, coupled with the fact that it was more points caused it to be a little slower on the sell-out.

Yea, the band is like "15 4-year-olds? Are you sure they didn't say 4 15-year-olds?"
It was a blast!

You kept telling me that more and more folks were saying that they were not going, so I am not surprised...

As for the phones, I don't think anyone has a virtual system set up to handle that volume of calls in that amount of time. Physical systems moved to a site with infrastructure added - yes, but no one would pay for that for a day.

Besides, another person in chat got our rep right after we hung up. I think her and her sister were the only 2 people taking reservations for a while...

Amy do you have a headach after that B-day party? I know I would.

Chris says, no they had beer!! Actually, it really wasn't that bad. A little loud a few times, but overall a BLAST!! Good music and they were a lot of fun!

 

[WDWLVR]

I think it took so long because of that one guy in chat who kept saying to hang up that it was sold out.

 

[sanddune]

Loud music with 4 yr olds candy and cake. What were they thinking? I'm glad it was fun!

YEAH, who WAS that guy anyway????

I think that's right Mary.Yah that guy was always bothering someone.

Where is everyone? I thought this board would be hopping tonight.
