Hey everyone!
I just got off the phone with Heidi Pickert, she's the sales consultant I am talking with about my wedding and I had a bad surprise! On the Disney Weddings Wishbook it says that Fri/Sun weddings at the WP during any month regardless of low, regular or premium season is minimum of $15,000. When I called though she told me that premium months (October, November, May, June) are a min. of $20,000 on Friday/Sundays. So I am really bummed because I had Oct.12 set as the date (Sunday) and the 7-night Disney Caribbean cruise we wanted to go on is the following Sunday. Well then I thought about pushing it up to Aug. or Sept. because those are low/regular season months and having it Aug.31 (Sunday) since Monday is Labor Day and guests wouldn't have to ask off work but there are no Disney cruises to the Caribbean from May-Sept and I really had my heart set on this!
This next statement is going to make me sound spoiled rotten... but I know my Dad would probably be okay with staying in October since he said he'd be willing to pay UP to $20,000 even if it was a min. of $15000 but I just feel like it's so ridiculous to pay $5000 extra dollars... what do y'all think? Also, another thing that kind of ticks me off is that it says on the web-site specifically that the min. is $15000. I understand prices change or whatever, but for example, when I worked at Winn Dixie for a while as an assistant manager if someone came in and said they saw a price advertised and that's now what we had in the store- it didn't matter, we gave them the price advertised. lol okay so I know this is a totally different situation but still.. and to clear up this is nothing against Heidi because she has been nothing but helpful and sweet! Actually she just replied to my email so I better go check and see what she says...
Sorry for such a long post but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem! Thanks for any help and input!!
