CM was very RUDE on the phone and hung up on me!

[Disney8704]

Its very obvious you didnt read all my posts or didnt read them correctly. I have stated several times that I dont care if we dont get anything. I mearly wanted our anniversary noted so that they know, so if they wanna do something they can. If not, oh well. Its not that big of a deal to me. Its not gonna be the end of the world if we dont get a free cupcake. If I want cake bad enough, I'll order a anniversary cake for room delivery which I am gonna be doing anyways. Like I said before, I would be happy if someone just simply said happy anniversary just once during the entire trip or threw some pixie dust on a table for one of our TS. You can look at it anyway you want. But please dont sit there and put words in my mouth stating that im wanting free stuff because im deserving of it. I have NEVER said that. And just incase you didnt read my posts, I also stated that I much rather have a dream granted to us like dream fast passes or lanyards then 2 whole weeks of free stuff from TS places.

I have read through the entire thread and OP I do think you and your husband should celebrate the whole week. You both deserve that.....

However (flame suit on) I disagree with "How" you want to be treated.

If you wear the pins they give out for free everyday and I agree 1000% with that then every CM will greet you with a Happy Anniversary and that is great and will make you both feel good and others will say wow, I want that when I come back next time etc.

When you are looking for something for free that bothers me. I work in the travel industry and I can't tell you how many customers have called me and argued with me because they felt they "DESERVED" something because it was their birthday, anniversary or what have you.

When I say "DESERVED" they meant an upgrade or their room decorated etc.

It doesn't always happen and sometimes especially on cruises you have to pay for that.

It just seems to me that if you want it on EVERY single reservation I would be annoyed as well. Because you want something for free. That is just how it comes across to me and that is where I don't agree with how you are feeling about the CM.

Everyone has their own situation and sob story. I am glad that you are able to be with your husband and that he came back - many others did not so if you don't get that "pixie dust" just think how lucky you both are to be together to celebrate.

When the OP started the thread and posted about wanting her Anniversary mentioned on her ADR's and the CM being rude, the part that stuck out to me was the comments about the CM. I never gave it a 2nd thought about her wanting the anniversary mentioned. I guess because I was taught to Worry about myself and not to worry about what others are doing. I think a cupcake or a table being decorated would be nice to have each night. I hope you get that! Have a great trip!

EXACTLY! That was very well said.

What the OP is trying to get across is that she was upset the CM was rude. That's all she was talking about and was just venting.

Again, I hope you have a great trip!

Let me ask you all something. Put yourself in my position. You get married, you have a very small honeymoon that lasts for 2 days because thats all you can afford. Your 1st year anniversary you couldnt go anywhere because your husband's job wont let you go anywhere. 2nd anniversary rolls around your by yourself because your husband is over seas in Iraq getting mortors shot at him on a daily basis and you worry about him every day for 4 months straight. 3rd anniversary is completly shot down because your husband has to work to get ready for another deployment so the most you could do was go out to dinner before he had to go back into work for the rest of the day. We've had to celebrate birthdays apart and not to mention this past holiday season. Now pardon me for wanting to celebrate our anniversary everyday of the trip. But I think we should and not to mention deserve to and have the right to. Im not trying to make anyone feel sorry for me or anything. Im just telling you what I've had to deal with for 4 years now of our marriage. Think about what I just said before you reply. Think about what you would actually would have wanted as well if you had to put up with everything I just mentioned above. If you still feel that we should only celebrate it only on 1 day, fine. Theres obviously no way to get you to see my point.

Just wanna add that we arent just celebrating our anniversary for this year. But we are celebrating our anniversary for the past 3 years plus making this our 2nd honeymoon. Plus making up for all the birthdays we missed. I dont see the harm for wanting to try to make up all those that we had to miss out with this trip. We've been planning this trip now for 5 years. AAA has had our reservation for 5 years now, constantly changing the dates every year. We now finally get to go. I really hate to say this, but those who dont believe we shouldnt celebrate our anniversary everyday are putting me in a worser mood then that CM did. That CM just didnt wanna do her job. But at least she encouraged me to let the people at the podium no that we are celebrating our anniversary.

Each to their own, I'm not gonna tell you you are wrong. But I got married, had no honeymoon, the only two vacations we have had in the 20 years we have been married have been two to WDW, which we saved for three years. We don't like to leave our kids with sitters, so don't even go out for a meal. My husband has a job that takes him away from home and sometimes he is not around for birthdays, anniversaries, christmas etc. Everyone has their own circumstances, do mine make me any more or less deserving than anyone else? NO

Everyone who is in WDW is deserving. Pixie Dust should be extended to everyone in a random way. Wearing a button on the day of your anniversary should gain enough pixie dust to make it special. If Disney were to bestow Magic on you because you 'asked' wouldn't make it special in my opinion. Would you not be going to every meal thinking "will we get something special here?".

By all means you should celebrate THIS (not the last years etc) anniversary all of your vacation, in a private and special way and I think the cm's should go out of their way on your actual anniversary to make it special for you.

I wouldn't celebrate the whole time, but everyone has to do what they feel is right for them. I personally feel that the time for a celebration is the actual day it occurs. If the people who don't agree with you are making you feel worser maybe you know deep down that they have a point.

The pixie dust is special because it is unexpected and you never know when it's gonna happen.

Have a great trip and some great quality time with your husband.

Personally Im so sick and tired with all the negativity thats going on this thread. For a thread that started off me venting about a rude CM its turned into this negativity that hurts me. Does it mean because deep down inside that I think people on this thread who have said nothing but negative things to me have a point? Nope! Infact they have NO point at all. What's their point they are trying to make? To only celebrate our anniversary only on the day of? I dont give a flying hoot what they think. I didnt start this thread to ask for their opinions on weither or not we should celebrate our anniversary everyday or not. So therefor I dont even know why people are posting their opinions about this. I dont know how many times I have to repeat myself IM NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING. So your wrong. Im not gonna go to each meal and think hey I wonder if we're gonna get anything. I might get down there and have the time of my life and forget all about those stupid notes on my ADRs. By meal time, I might be so hungry that it might slip my mind. Anything is possible. And oh yeah 1 more thing. Your little story about your husband. Cry me a river why dont you. You are one of those types of people that military spouses dont like to much. Be glad you arent a military wife. You wouldnt be able to handle it. Military wives are the strongest wives in this cold world. You dont have to go without your husband for 4, 6, 12 or 15 months or more. Your husband doesnt have to go to the desert where its hot, have sand storms, get shot at, have mortors shot at them on a daily basis. You probably get to talk to your husband once a day - we have to settle for 2 15 min phones a week, email and letters home and us sending them care packages. So what your husband has to go on business trips once in awhile. I wish I could say the same thing. You sit there and complain that you cant go out to dinner or whatever - you dont have to worry about your husband is gonna come home alive or dead. Have you ever thought of dropping them off with a friend, a relative or simply take them with you? And I dont like the fact that you sit there and tell me to only celebrate this annviersary and thats it. We WILL celebrate the anniversaries we lost. Why not? Do you think its fair that we have to loose out on special occasions and then never celebrate it?

Im just gonna say 1 more thing in this post. Stop with the negativity everyone. I didnt ask for anyones opinion on weither or not we should celebrate our anniversary every day or not. Maybe you need to re-read the title of this thread and the 1st post and get this thread back on track.

crzy4my2, sandybobandy, abbypan & to anyone else I miss -

Thanks so much for your kind posts. You DISers are the only ones who are making any sense on this thread.

 

[beattyfamily]

Obviously, some posts have struck a nerve with you. You seem very upset. I would just ignore them and not reply to the posts that bother you.

No one can know or really control how a public board post will go. It can take on a life of it's own and/or vear off into other discussions/debates. It's the nature of public forums. As long as people aren't going against the board rules (sarcasim, insults etc..), they can post what they want to even if we don't like it too much.

I don't see negativity here but a difference of opinion. Having a different opinion doesn't mean 'negativity'.

Have a great trip!

I agree completely with your whole post, but especially the parts I highlighted.

Have a magical trip!

 

[glitterkittyy]

Please don't let a few posts upset you. I'm sure that their intent wasn't to hurt or upset you. You celebrate your milestones how you want. I'm sorry the CM was rude to you, and I hope you have a fabulous trip filled with lots of magic!

 

[sandym718]

The posts you agree with are not the only ones that "make sense". As some of the above posters said - a difference of opinion is not necessarily negativity. I think there have been a lot of valid points on BOTH "sides" of this "debate". Disagreement, differing opinions are not bad things.

 

[Disney8704]

Thanks glitterkitty

Heres a question for all those who think we shouldnt celebrate our anniversary everyday of the trip -

Why is it that others have posted that they called disney dining and have notes put on all their ADRs for birthday, anniversary, etc., or tell people they had cakes at some of their meals, or did the diver and menu at coral reef on a day other then the official day, but yet they didnt have anyone tell them that its wrong and they shouldnt do that?

You wanna know what I think. And someone just sent me a PM to me and pointed this out. That just about everyone on this board has done the same thing I have or tried to get something free. So you wanna know what I think about that...they are right. And personally I think those who are posting that its wrong to do this, have tried getting something free, and they didnt, so they think I shouldnt either. Just a thought, who knows. I could be right or wrong.

My husband said something that was true the other day. When it comes to going to Disney and they are willing to give you something for free, take full advantage of that. Look how much you spend on going to Disney. Our trip is costing us a little over $7000. I dont see Disney going backrupt because of some cupcakes they give out each day or throw some pixie dust on a table. Or even better, just saying happy annviersary or whatever - thats not costing Disney anything except for the server to say 2 words.

If Disney wanted this under full control to where people can only celebrate something on the actual day they would inforce a rule where you had to show a birth certificate or drivers license for birthdays and a marriage certificate for honeymoons and anniversaries.

I dont see the harm of getting something for free at Disney weither it be a dream giveaway or your trying to create your own magic by simply telling people its your anniversary or birthday either by notes on ADRs, word of mouth or buttons. With that said, like Ive said plenty of times, Im not expecting anything. But if Disney wants to give us something for being married for 4 wonderful years weither it be a congrats or a cupcake, we will take it and will say thank you. If they dont give us anything, we will just eat our meal and leave the TS place and continue to have fun. Either way, our trip will be magical and special, even if we dont get anything.

 

[AbbyPan]

Not saying this is the case here, but its possible that an opinion can come off as a personal attack. Especially when you are being misenterpreted.

The OP was sad about a rude CM and would have liked to make a note of her anniversary on her ADR's. She mentioned various times that she wasn't expecting anything special, but if was recognized, great!

I read more than one post that went off on a tangeant about how we shouldn't think ourselves deserving of special attention all the time. That's negative...and not what she was saying AT ALL.

Positive is: I'm sorry the CM was rude. I hope that a nicer CM can help...have great trip!

 

[Disneylvr]

I am so sorry the CM was rude to you! I too work in customer service and no matter what my personal opinion it is my job is to serve the customer. You wanted your anniversary noted on all ADR's and that is what she should of been done, period. Isn't that was Disney is all about, pixie dust? And let me wish you a Happy Anniversary!!!! We are celebrating our anniversary on our April trip and now I am tempted to get out anniversary noted on our ADR's.

 

[Tricia1972]

Wow, this is really rocking you to your core isn't it? I feel bad that a few people who have different opinions is affecting you so deeply.

I don't think anyone said that celebrating every day was excessive. I think that those that feel differently than you (and therefore are wrong in your eyes) feel that noting it on 15 ADR's is a bit excessive.

I personally feel 15 notes is excessive, but remember, I am the sinner wearing the button for the days that we were there. I did get special wishes, and a card and a dessert on days that weren't our anniversary, so it's not sour grapes from me.

Nobody said what you're doing is making Disney bankrupt. Some pointed out that if every person celebrated their special occasions every day that someone has to pay for it. Yes it's free to you from Disney, but why do Disney vacations cost so much? Someone is paying for the magic - and basically we all chip in to pay for the magic.

I don't remember reading many posts about the actual date, I think it has more to do with multiple celebrations at restaurants. SEVERAL people, who have mentioned not noting every ADR agreed to wear your buttons the whole time and enjoy the pixie dust as it may fall.

I also believe that people are under the impression that you want something because you made several attempts to get your anniversary noted on all of your ADR's. They seem to feel that if you really just wanted nothing then you wouldn't have taken the time to make the notes.

Again, I think it's a matter of difference of opinions, nobody has said you're a bad person, and many have wished a magical trip for you. Myself included. However since I don't agree with you 100% I am beginning to feel like the enemy around here - even though I wish you well.

You don't have to agree with a person 100% in order to like them, if that was the case nobody would have any friends.

 

[pumba]

Thinking that this subject has been discussed enough ......I am going to close it ...
Just remember that everyone has a difference of opinion on EVERYTHING and we should be respectful of others.....


Thanks so much everyone
