Great pic John! :thumbsup2
 

This time, next Sunday, I'll be heading Westward!!!!!!! :woohoo::woohoo:
 
Happy Easter to everyone!

I can't believe that I leave next Sunday for the trip. Today I'm starting to gather up everything I want to pack. Debating whether or not to take the ABD backpack (I can't get the smell out of that thing no matter how hard I try) or just take my own.

I'm very excited to be meeting all of you next week! It's going to be an awesome time!

:confused: Has anyone figured out what went so wrong on Kris Newton's ABD trip?????? He never said in his rant on his Trip Report. It has me curious. :confused3

:goodvibes Jennifer

To be quite honest, I found his writing style unbearable and could not get through the first few pages without skimming and skipping.
Maybe I'm just used to Tiggerbelle's (Jaime's) TR's and am spoiled. :confused3
The only reason I went back was due to your post.
His last post was cryptic, at best, and a rant like that could have at least had some scrap of info about what happened, even if it did not go into detail.
I realize he is just making notes until he returns, but if you can say the same thing over and over and still not get around to what happened, weeellllll.........:confused:
That being said, I am curious as to what could have happened to make him feel so strongly, and hoping whatever it was can be straightened out in some way.
Pretty extreme response, it must have been traumatic.
Again, I hope he gets it cleared up.

It would have to pretty traumatic for me to not want a milk shake or to shop.

I have no idea what could have happened, but a great deal of anger was expressed over the mispronunciation of a name.

I hope it gets resolved.

I'm not going on the ABD trip but I have to say after reading that trip report that the poster seems a little bit nuts. A raving, indecipherable rant about Disney ruining their vacation seems very odd. People need to put things in perspective and prioritize what is catastrophic and what isn't. If you let one or two CMs ruin your trip, that's your problem. Learn some coping skills and have fun despite any setbacks. :thumbsup2
 
Good morning and Happy Easter everyone!

Can't believe we are in the single digits. Woohoo!!!

I totally agree. I find it hard to believe that ABD would not bend over backwards to resolve a customer issue given their trouble selling packages as it is. They know word of mouth spreads fast and people would become hesitant to fork over a lot of cash for a mediocre or even poor experience.

Oh well, I am going to focus instead on our trip as I know it and the people we will be sharing it with will be outstanding! :goodvibes

I have a feeling that certain wheels were put in motion long before the trip ever started.....

Whereas I highly appreciate your feedback, the issue I have concerned the lack of customer service I received from the above mentioned ABD rep. I understand clearly that we all have our good C.S.R. days and our bad C.S.R. days BUT....that doesn't mean that you say to a highly valued ABD guest (during the phone conversation on last Friday) that, "For all I know, yur gunna receive a view of a parking lot."

That above comment is what I found to be extremely unprofessional and extremely demeaning to this ABD guest. This, combined with 2 previous ABD reps being very defensive about this topic (which by the way, I didn't initiate) involked me into thinking what is going on here and why are they being so defensive.

This statement stuck out for me while reading (or skimming) the TR.

Demeaning????

This was made on Dec. 2, almost 4 months before the trip, and after 5 phone calls to ABD to confirm a balcony room.
Sounds like an ABD rep just covering their .... backside....to me, as they can't "guarantee" anything at 4 months out.

Don't know what happened to cause the rant, but maybe there were a few asterisks** in front of his name, bold lettering, and an underline, long before he arrived :goodvibes

Or maybe he didn't get his balcony.....

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Congrats on your 3000th post honey! :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2:
Chris was great I think you should make a copy of his song and take it to him! :)

That's the spirit. You couldn't be traveling with a better bunch of people.................unless of course I was going! pirate:
 
Ok so we leave a week from today for the flight.
So I have put this off long enough now for the dreaded event.
It is time to go try on some clothes see what I can fit into.:eek::scared1::eek::eek:

Then to decide what to pack! :banana:
