Hey Melinda,
Hopefully I didn't overstep my authority, but I got so excited about the prospect of teaching one of your classes, I decided to contact
DCL to set it up. I was worried you were too busy now that you have a part time job, plus all the posting you need to do, so I did it myself. Anyway, I called Debbie, the person helping you with the dining effort. She only handles dining, but connected me with the person in charge of "Special Events". Her name is Juanita Gomez-Esperanza, but she likes to be called JayGee. Anyway, I explained what you were trying to do, and she was very helpful. I was going to just set up my course, but she said since we wanted one a day, we ought to put in our request now so she can deconflict it with other scheduled events. So I gave her your entire class schedule and requirements. She reviewed it all and said she can make it happen. The only hurdle will be coordinating it with the agency that has exclusive rights to sponsorship of all Special Events. According to the contract, we have to guarantee a minimum of 10 participants per course. I didn't think that would be a problem. Also, there is a $50 per person charge for each event, and they have to count each day as an event. In order to hold the slots, she will have to charge the 10 times 50 times 14, or $7000 now. She has your charge card info from your cruise payments and said she will charge that amount unless she hears from you by tomorrow. She says the charge will not show up as Disney, but go to the special events contractor. You will see the charge under JGE. If you need her direct line, drop me a PM. Glad I could help out on this one!
