Flights & cruise booked today !! But what a pain to get it done

[zippy99]

If it wasn't for the fact I was so excited about returning to the magic and listening to Disney music I think I would have gone crazy and been up in arms!

Collectively I spent 2 hours and 10 minutes on the phone today to WDTC, I had already booked our 7 nights at Animal Kingdom Lodge online via quidco when they had the 5% cashback and today I wanted to add our indirect flights and cruise - WOW I needed the patience of a saint! After 78 minutes on the phone their system crashed during them taking my payment. The lady called me back once everything was back online and tried to take payment which was declined - so I used my other bank account to pay. HORRAY!!

No.... Both my cards had been charged, so back on the phone for another 50 minutes to find they could not help and the money would be released back to my account in 5-10 days !!!!

However, this is Disney and I am so excited that everything is now booked... Flights with United arriving in MCO at £540 each and we have an Oceanview stateroom with oversized veranda at the back of the ship on the corner ... The last corner room they had.

Would love to hear any of your thoughts on cruising - we will be on the Dream 27th October on the 4 night Bahamas cruise stopping at Nassau and Castaway Cay + a day at sea.

Let the countdown begin

Also a call to Barclays sorted the 'limbo' money and it will be released tomorrow.

Congrats!! I bet you cannot wait!

I'm currently figuring out whether to book the 3 or 4 night cruise after our 7 night BC stay I've already booked! We're looking at slightly earlier in October but even thinking about it is exciting!
