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

[DisneyKevin]

We know you are.

A multi million dollar a year company and the fax machine does not work!?!?!?!?

Sorry this is just too damn funny.

Come on Kevin, you have to laugh about this!

Even funnier.....

"The IT department is out to lunch." (I swear that's what I was told)

I wonder if he went to In and Out Burger.

"The IT department is out to lunch." (I swear that's what I was told

At least they can finally admit it.......so we are past the denial stage....

 

[slapwhitey]

No worries Kevin, we know our spots are saved. We can definitely wait a little longer.

 

[corky441]

Their Fax machine isn't working and the IT department is out to lunch

Perhaps carrier pidgeons would work or better yet 2 cans and a very very very very long string

 

[katscradle]

I just thought I would post and say good morning.
Kevin we are heading out for our weekend tonight or first thing in the morning tomorrow.
If we can't pay today we will pay when we get back on Tuesday.
Don't give our spots away!

Also I hope that everyone has a great weekend.

More hoops to jump through to get this trip "officially" booked. Sorry for all the headache this has caused you. It is NOT suppose to be this difficult. What is with the Disney Company in general these days?!?!?!?! They should be jumping through hoops for YOU! Thanks for keeping us posted!

The fax machine isn't working? Next, they will tell you their dog ate the paperwork. Sounds like just another excuse ...

We tried In-N-Out Burger during our CA trip in March. They were "okay". I honestly don't know what all the hype was about?????? Give me a Wendy's or Steak 'N Shake burger over them anyday. (Just my humble opinion.)

Hi folks...

Just another update.

I have spoken with the folks at ABD again today.

Our Adventure is still locked.

I'm also told that because our Adventure is a bit different, it has to be specially "built".

I'm guessing that since we signed and delivered the contract for all 40 slots for this Adventure on July 12, 2009, this has come as a complete surprise to them.

The fact that they have had two full months to "build" our Adventure wasnt enough lead time.

It must be due to "guest demand".

I'll keep you posted.

Are any of you going to DAP?

Bill and I listened to the Podcast last night. When I heard about the TSM event, I gave Bill the "puppy dog eyes". I want to go!!!! Currently, we depart WDW on December 4th. We miss it by one week. Argggggh! I'm trying to work on him to get us there that weekend. We would probably have to drive through the night and arrive sometime Saturday morning. Please help me convince Bill to attend.

Thanks for the update Kevin! Hmm is this the first time they have sold all 40 spots and they don't know how to handle it? What do you think their next excuse will be?

Are we going to hear a "Kevin Rant" on the next Podcast? You know you want to. I felt like you were holding back a little on the Podcast yesterday. Let all your frustrations out. It will be cathartic.

Glad to hear so many fellow ABD Travelers will be at DAP. I have a question, if we changed our first week of December WDW stay to dates closer to the DAP, which week should we do????

December 6 - 13

or

December 12 - 19

Thank you in advance with any suggestions. We're not 100% sure we can swing it. We'll see ...

Great minds think alike.

If it was me, I would try for the 6th-13th. DATW is on the 11th and it is a must do event.

I agree 100% with you Tonya that the 6th-13th is better. You really can't miss DATW!

Hi folks,

I am going to need to be away for a while.

My other retina has detached and I will be in surgery at noon tomorrow.

If you have any questions regarding your reservation, which hopefully will be booked soon, please write to Reservations@DreamsUnlimitedTravel.com.

I'll be back.

Oh No!!!! I am so sorry you are having more eye problems. I'll keep you in my prayers and thoughts. (And don't worry about the reservations, I am sure it can wait - it's still probably locked while the IT goes on vacation or something.)
