April 2010 ABD Backstage Magic : California Here We Come!!!

[spokanemom]

I really hope our trip doesn't cost more than expected....

I am there with ya! I am a solo traveller and have to pay the single supplement so alone this is costing me 3k. I am having a VERY hard time choking that down, but if they increase it more, it may very well price me right out of the trip. I really hope that does not happen, as I really want to go on this trip, but I have to be realistic.

Hi Folks....

I am posting to put everyone's mind at ease.

We have a signed contract for the originally quoted price and date.

We're good to go.

The actual booking process will be done inthe next few days. It would be done tomorrow, but tomrrow is podcast recording day.

A while back ABD approached us letting us know that it would probably be at a higher price point and that we should let the guests yet to book know of the higher price.

I explained that I had already sold all 40 slots and that I was ready to book and that if they decided to raise the price, that I would suggest that we cancel the Adventure and look elsewhere.

I had a signed contract in my hands the next day at the originally quoted price.

We are good to go!!!!!

This is why you trust us to watch your backs.

It's on Babies!

Thanks Kevin! I've been sweating it all day. You really are AWESOME!!

Thanks Kevin!
Katherine sends her love!
I told her if Disney raised the price on ABD, we would not be going, just on principle.
So she is now a happy camper.

Think we'll get a rant from Pete on the price increase? I didn't think the "cleaning woman" was also in charge of ABD, but the amount of these price increases are a little nuts. Okay, a lot nuts. I am thrilled Kevin went to bat for us as too much of an increase would have pushed us out and there would have been tears and it would have been ugly, and then there's no telling what DH would have done! Not to mention the fact that I've already ordered my 2006 DL Passporter! I finally broke down.

 

[tickledtink33]

Thanks Kevin

YOU ROCK!

I was telling Anna yesterday that the lowest prices for this tour listed on ABD's website were about $160 more per person than what we were originally quoted.

 

[corky441]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Kevin -

I knew better than to just look at the Disney site and take that as bad news for us.

You are fantastic

Of course, I feel really bad for Dreams Unlimited - the ABD bookings for 2010 are sure to be less than anticipated

 

[DisneyTaylors]

Thank you for standing your ground Kevin! Especially given that there really aren't other options for tours that go backstage at Disney (other than ABD). Hopefully Disney will see the light soon regarding their new pricing "philosophy" for pricing in 2010.

I am at work listening to my iPhone, and Five for Fighting's "Disneyland" just came on. Boy that brought a smile to my face!

The line "It's a nice day when you wake up in Disneyland" just makes me happy. And to know that it is within sight, makes me all that happier!

I think that this demonstrates quite clearly that the genius of John Magi pales in comparison to...ladies and gentleman, Mr. Kevin Klose, SUPER GENIUS!

Well done Mr. Klose.
