Gift card update
So never throw out gift cards you've used as deposits for something. You probably already know this and it's just me. But if you remember correctly I paid the cruise deposit on a $200 gift card I got for opening my Disney Chase Visa, and then I threw it out. Well when we canceled the cruise they said they'd issue a new one. I got all my other refunds over 2 weeks ago...but no gift card.
Last week they told me to call this week if it never comes...it never came.

I called last night after checking one more time (we get our mail at Josh's moms house not our apartment). They spent a long time on the phone with me and came to the conclusion that the gift card division didn't mail it out after they sent in the form. They told me to call the gift card line. It wasn't open last night so I called this morning. It's not open till Tuesday. It's seeming very unlikely we'll get it before the trip now.
So I called back the cruise line thinking maybe someone else handles gift cards because they were able to call someone about it while I spoke with them last night. Now I know that once they issue a form for the return they probably have nothing to do with it, but the guy I got was rather short with me about the situation. He told me I was just going to have to wait till the other line was open, then he said he checked and it was mailed out on the 16th last month so it's probably on its way.

At this point I'm doubting I'll get in time for this vacation. I'm hoping when I call on Tuesday they'll be able to just send something to our hotel or create something while we're there. I think that would be a lot easier than trying to go through the mail again.
I also never received my
Disney Store order with my Halloween shirt, mug, and MagicBandits in it (from the 15th).

It looks like they never sent it out, and now the shirt is out of stock.

I'll have the MagicBandits by the time we go, and hopefully I'll find the shirt at the parks.
Disney customer service is usually so lovely, and I can't really be unhappy so close to the trip. But I am a little bummed about the gift card situation since we were using that money towards our vacation (and I really liked that shirt and purchased it online because I knew the Halloween stuff would sell out fast).
In better news I checked Southwest last night and a couple of our flights went down in price so I saved $20, and 2,000 points.
And I'm still so excited for all of you that left today
