CRO: Mad, angry, upset, violated, cheated...

Good one!

For a moment I thought you might have been serious, but I'm glad it was all a joke! Thanks for the laugh today!

Hi,

I laughed out loud when I read this - I thought it was very funny!

But, then I read on and was disappointed to realize that some posters thought this was a "message" that needed to be pointed out to other posters.

I think the negative posters need to be allowed to let off some steam. I'm like a lot of people who have a 99 to 1, love/hate relationship with Disney. It's such a great place that when the nasty stuff does happen, it just seems nastier in a great environment like Disney - and when compared to the great service rendered by other CMs. And for a lot of us who don't live near Florida, we pay big bucks to feed our addiction which makes it a little tougher to shrug off the nasties.

Write some more, Peter Pirate! Humor works in every situation.

I have to say something.... My family and I travel a lot and stay at (mostly) very nice upscale hotels.
NO WHERE BESIDES DISNEY DOES ANYONE EXPECT A DISCOUNT!!!!!

I personally think people expect too much sometimes. But this is just MY HUMBLE OPINION


By the way, I am not directing this towards anyone on these boards, it's a very general statement! I realize we all like to find a good deal and there's nothing wrong with that, but it's wrong to think that Disney is trying to rip us off when we can't find a good rate.

 

[Buzz2001]

I agree with you SeaSpray. That's such a true statement.

Awesome Peter!! I love it. You did have me going until I read the name

I opened this wondering "what has CRO done now?" Thanks for the laugh!
Maybe someday a CRO CM will come on here and post some outrageous stories of what WE have done!

Funny!

 

[GAIL HAYDEN]

Peter, thank you for the reality check and the point that "you get what you give". I especially like the "1 min. and 22 seconds" on hold. My recent phone bill showed a call to FLA for 30 mins and cost me a whopping 1.50. That will definitely go towards ruining my vacation.

 

[Miss Jasmine]

bawahahahh.... that evil CRO.

Very funny!

 

[Chuck S]

OMG Gail, a 30 minute call to FL would cost me $2.10, I'd better call CRO and complain!!!!!

 

[darrose]

ROFL :lol
I am one lucky traveler though I have been able to get
discounted hotel rates for other vacation spots as well as Disney

 

[Janet2k]

Peter, I am looking for a razor blade to slit my wrists since my last GF room cost me almost $1,500 per night. I would KILL to have had that room for $169 per night. Can you please give me that phone number that you called as I want to demand the same cheap rate that you just demanded. Us Dis'ers MUST stick together. Please post the phone number NOW... I'm WAITING...

 

[Peter Pirate]

Thanks to everyone for appreciating my humor based tirade. I love the Resorts Board for the useful information give & take, but I find lately soooo much (apparant) selfishness in that everyone seems to be demanding something, often for nothing. Criticism is heaped upon people with no effort to conceal the real issue - which is often (not always ) the result of someone simply not getting their way.

Thanks all for restoring my belief that most people do have a sense of humor and for supporting a peeve that has been really bugging me.

Janet the # is 1-800-wish upon a star (too many numbers, but the only chance you've got for that rate!).

 

[ducklite]

Gee Pirate, thanks for nothing! now I have to go clean up the tea I just snorted out my nose and all over the computer screen

Anne

 

[Janet2k]

Peter, I am dialing that number NOW but I just can't seem to get someone to pick up on the other end. Drats! I WILL keep trying, though, as hope springs eternal in my heart...

 

[Eeyore2U]

Peter, you WEREN'T serious????? Boy do I need to get with the program!!!!

 

[macs4us]

It is really difficult for some people to post here due to the fear of being flamed, and while I would hope that is not what the original poster would intend, "jokes" like this often breed contempt for others. I agree being rude to anyone is not appropriate - be it CRO or posters on this board.

Just an FYI - I always ask for a discount at EVERY hotel before I go (not just Disney), or for an upgrade when I check in, and it is rare that I am not successful. It doesn't hurt to ask.

Just an opinion from someone who often feels on the other side of the fence here

Robin, I can tell you from personal experience that there are several CRO CM's who read these boards but that's all they will do.

They dare not post who they are for several reasons. Fear of getting inundated with every CRO question and complaint that anyone has is one. Also people can't seem to separate a CM's personal advice/opinions from someone who acts as a spokesperson for Corporate Disney. This can lead to major problems in the workplace should the person be found out.

So be happy in the knowledge that there are CRO CM's reading these posts and in knowing that they're giving Peter Pirate the big "two thumbs up" even now.

Peter, I think the best one was "I read on the internet that someones sister had a brother-in-law who's mother's cousin"...LOL. I think someone should actually call CRO and say that and tell us what they actually say.

 

[GAIL HAYDEN]

Well Chuck,
Just tell them you want the same phone rate as I get. They can fix it, they are CRO !!!!!!!
