Dutch offer- all booked!!

[Becgaz]

It's thought I'd let the others that are thinking of booking using the Dutch offer an update.

I rang the reservations number and spoke to a lovely American lady. When I explained I wanted to book using the Dutch websites 40% off she seemed a little confused and put me on hold for a minute. When she came back she gave me a number to call to make the booking.
When I rang the number it was an incorrect number so I called back and they connected me no problem.
I then spoke to a French man who was also a little confused that I would rather have the Dutch offer than the 15% off and free half board but said it was ok. He also asked me did i speak Dutch as my confirmation letter would be in Dutch but I said it was ok and my good friend mr google would sort it!!
The only other minor problem was he said I had to pay the full balance as it was a different country's offer but when u said I couldn't he said he would make an exception straight away so it obviously wouldn't be a problem for anyone to do it.
He also asked if we were going for an occasion and I said it was for my 30th birthday and my nephews birthday and he made a note so fingers crossed for some pixie dust!!
Sorry that got a bit long winded but I just wanted to reassure anybody that is thinking of booking this way not to be worried like I was.

Now I can just be excited we've booked!! Only 128 sleeps to wait!

Congrats on the booking, we have never had a problem with booking another countries deal, we just asked and they transfered the call and they only took a deposit with the rest to be paid 30 days before trip as that was the French sites T&C's

I cannot thank you enough for posting this!!! I booked us 2 nights and 3 days with 40% off. I was just getting ready to book 2 nights 1 day in the park for $35 less than my great package.

He implied he was doing me a big favour that he was letting me only pay the deposit but I thought it was a common thing.
I'm so excited!!

I would love to take the credit but I only found this amazing deal thanks to another lovely DISer's post! I'm glad you saw it though and got a saving too, we are paying less for a golden forest room in the sequoia than the UK site wanted for the Cheyenne!! Crazy! X

Ooh I'm so tempted to book!!

 

[Steef1991]

That is a great offer...
If you need any help with the Dutch language you can PM me. I'm Dutch.

 

[MPwifey]

oh no, I didn't even check any other hotels...... must not check....

 

[jennyc81]

Ooh ¬310 for two nights for myself and my two boys in Cheyenne going 9th-11th dec.......I want to book so bad!!!

 

[jennyc81]

Thank you so much for the offer! I think I should be ok though- I don't think I'll need anything apart from the reservation number x

Do it!! I would love to see the Xmas decorations!
We've paid € 834 for 4 nights/ 5 days in a golden forest room for 2 adults, 2 kids and a baby. I have no idea how much that will exchange to in £s, I'm assuming about £700 but it's still a really good deal.

you could always leave him at home and save a few quid more

[aj2703]

Any ideas of the conversion rate..?

*EDIT*

I found this..

You can set the currency and rate including fee 3% in my case and it works it out for you.
