I just registered for the Mr. Pete Werner's (really a reincarnation of Mr. Walt Disney in heart and spirit) 2002 DIS CONvention "A Gathering Of Friends."
It was so easy to register and it took less than a minute using the direct link to PayPal. I also had my credit card pre-registered with PayPal, so I didn't have to go through that extra procedure.
I registered for one adult (I'm really a child at heart) even though the post on the DIS Boards showed one adult and I was unable to change the child on the DIS boards post from one to zero.
The first screen after hitting Pete's direct link to PayPal shows a "Payment Detail":
Payment to: Werner Technologies, Inc.
Payment for: Discon2-A Gathering of Friends.
Adults : 1
Children : 1
Quantity : 1
Amount : $150.00
Then since I was already registered with PayPal through using it through the DIS sponser program, it showed my e-mail already and a blank space to enter my PayPal password and then I clicked the continue button.
The second page was also called " Payment Details":
With the same information from page one plus "Source of my Credit Card information saying:
Credit Card: XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234 showing the name of the credit card with the last four digits plus the amount $150.00.
Then it showed shipping address which I guess this is used for E-Bay type package sending stuff, but anyway it was just my home address and I left it their in case the DIS might mail me something.
Then at the bottom was a big blank space to add any comments to the receiver of this payment, Pete, which is where I stated that I was applying for just one adult registration and no children. I thought that this was very clear. And you could also save or copy this page to your computer.
Then you have a choice to click on "PAY" or "CANCEL."
That is why I posted this thread. To let you know not to be afraid to try the direct link to PayPal just to see what everything looks like. Guess which button that I clicked...lol?
On the third page after clicking pay, you will see "Payment Information." :
"A payment of $150.00 has been sent to Werner Technologies, Inc.. You will receive an e-mail receipt for this transaction which shows previous information plus the DIS e-mail contact information. Then I hit the continue information button.
On page four they show your personal PayPal account information.
Mine showed two things:
First: Payment to Werner Technologies, Inc. for $150.00 on July 1, 2002 and status shows completed.
Second: Transaction from my Credit Card number XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-1234 with the last four numbers and the name of my Credit Card that I already had on file with PayPal. Then for $150.00 on July 1, 2002 and status shows completed.
Done...finished...in less than a minute.
I hope that this helps those DISers that were worried about not being able to initially put a zero for no children. Or for those that have used PayPal before and now know that they can just look and choose cancel if they want too until you figure out if you can get vacation time off work or not. It will take a lttle longer, if you have not registered. You can do that on the front page in order to get your password. I would recommend adding your credit card for later quicker transactions like the one that I just made.
Sincerely, RaySharpton
