When you asked for the hoppers did the agent have a problem looking them up in their system? They had issues with me last week when I went to go get them. But in the end I scored them too. Did the agent say anything about them being discontinued?

Ahahahaha....I just called also and have my quote on the way! My agent said, "oh that's funny, the girl I jsut talked too said someone from Saskatchewan would probably be phoning!"

Thanks ShaunaM!!

... I called yesterday to their central number she said no go, they are discontinued. Then I thought I am going to try again and picked the closest agency to our community , Calgary. When I called she was not sure took my info and went hunting. When she called back she said their supplier did have them, but they were not n the system yet, prices had to be entered., would be up in the morning.So of course I was expecting a price hike.
I slept with my fingers crossed. When they called this morning, they had them, same price a last month, I think it was $233 for 8 days for adults and about $20 less for a youth. Something like that anyway I could not spit my credit card out fast enough , yes maam please and thank you!!

Rolled the Disney dice, thinking I could wait an buy closer to travel time, and boy I was not feeling the Disney magic....never do that again. This morning I figured we are going to have to buy AP's which would have doubled( ish) our ticket prices.

Interestingly enough their web site is still not showing the 8 days , only to five. No idea where they found mine, just relieved!!!

That is AWESOME! I am so glad you got them. I guess that is what you can call a Disney dream come true!

Just a comment. Because that hopper pass was still on the website does not mean she got any more business. They are honoring them bcuz they were still on the website, so the loss goes against her quota. Obviously that is flight center's fault, but that in no way increasing her sales. Probably putting her commission in the negative Not great for her even if she doesn't say so..

They were not on the site, at all any more. But when I phoned her and one of her colleagues both contacted their supplier and were told they still had them.
There would have been nothing for them to honor they were no longer advertising them. They were told they would be back up in the system soon? All a little odd I guess we shall see in the coming weeks if that plays out...

...we went in February 2011 and bought 8 day hoppers then too from flight centre. At the time their site only advertised to 7 days, but when I asked they were able to sell me an 8 day.... all very odd.
