Similar to our experience except:
1. We had called our guide well before the trip to arrange the presentation for our friends.
2. When he couldn't meet with us on the day that fit best with our plans because he was off that day, we switched our plans and met with him when he could make it.
3. After the tour and presentation, which took a LONG time, my family just went to a corner of the ice cream parlor and din't even know our friends had gotten FB cards or anything else until they told us about it, and how they had specifically asked the guide about FPs for my family.
To top it all off, and what really burns me, is while touring the GV for SSR, my guide and I were talking about how he was pleased we had changed our plans to meet with him, but since it had looked like we wouldn't be able to get together (because of his vacation) he had mailed us a bunch of stuff. He told me to be sure I checked the mail when we got back.
It's been almost a month now, and I even emailed him to tell him I had asked a mailman whether maybe a package had gotten shoved off to the side while we had been gone and had our mail on hold. There was nothing to be found, so I asked the guide if he had been kidding me or if he had been serious about having sent us stuff.
He emailed back that I shouldn't bother looking for anything.
The thing is, we didn't ASK for anything - HE brought it up. Then to top it off, the way we were ignored at the sales center, which made our friends uncomfortable on our behalf...
It could have been a nicer experience. But at least we got to see one of the FP cards, although we still have no idea what you have to do to actually get one.
