I won! I won! Disney trip! UPDATE: WE'RE HOME!

[Trish Bessette]

I just heard from Christi - NO PACKAGES GOING OUT TODAY

Southwest tickets never arrived yesterday.

I'll tell you, this is eating away at the whole magic of this trip!! Tomorrow is the 10 day mark and we still don't know all the details.

I wrote her back saying many of us are waiting for these packages to make further arrangements and this is making it very hard to do so.

She did confirm they will be sent overnight delivery.

If I have to wait until next week I think my head will explode

Geez, this is just irritating!

I'm moving in a few days and now it looks like I'm going to have to give her my new address and hope I'm there to receive the package.

What's so special about the Southwest tickets? I mean can't they send those later?! Or heck, just give them to us when we arrive in LA.

Gosh I know what you mean - give them to us when we arrive in LA. However, I'm not flying Southwest as it does not service Vermont so I'm sure that is what is going on.

You must be going crazy with the upcoming move!!! Talk about a lot going on!!

Can you imagine all the other winners who never found the DIS here - they are all alone wondering what the heck is going on. At least we four here can talk about it together I'm glad I found all of you!!

I'm glad I found you all too because by now I probably would have thought this was all some sort of scam.

We're only using Southwest for the LA to Orlando flight. The closest Southwest airport to us is about 3-4 hours away. So we're using US Airways for most of our travel.

I forgot that some of the others are using Southwest for all their flights.

Here's hoping for Friday!

You have got to be kidding me! I too am losing a bit of excitement over this. My kids ask me every day if I have recieved the tickets yet, and every day I have to tell them no. My whole family keeps asking, and everyone is starting to think this trip is never going to happen. I just don't get it. I'm sure making arrangements for 51 families is a tough job, but it's been 3 weeks!

I am starting to get irritated for sure!

I do hope we get these before the weekend. Geez, at this rate we'll be lucky to receive them before we actually leave!

I hope so too. Sometimes it almost feels like I'm planning for a pretend vacation!

I know what you mean. She did respond to my "I'm not too happy about this email" saying that since she had such a tight turn around time to get everything processed for this promotion she prefers to send everything out in one package as opposed to several. She said she normally has months to process this type of thing. She also told me not to worry

So I'll just take a deep breath and pray to God she gets those Southwest tickets today!!

 

[Piglets Mommy]

Wow! That has to be frustrating..I'm not even going, but I'm anxious for you all to get your packages...I wanna help you plan! I hope they get sent out tomorrow, so you can have them before the weekend!

I am sooo sad they are not going out today!!

I'm glad I was pointed to this board so I could have 3 other gals to talk to about this. I agree, the others that are on their own, probably think this is NOT happening! ARGH!

Here's a small bit of info... I emailed and asked what day she thought would be best to try and make an appt. for DD to go to the BBB in DL and she said that "The event" for DL is Monday morning and then we leave Tues morning for WDW. Which makes more sense than what I orginally heard. Weren't we suppossed to have breakfast in DL and then dinner in WDW at one point? I was wondering how they were going to pull that off, but looks like they moved it to Monday morning instead.

We're suppose to have breakfast at DL Monday morning before the park opens up. We were told that it is to be full of surprises.

We're all leaving DL Tuesday morning around 8:30 to 8:40 am. Disney has chartered two planes for all of us. We arrive at WDW around 6:30 pm.

Thursday night we have dinner and private seating for the IllumiNations show at Epcot.

That is much as I know. That's why I really wanted our itinerary to see how much free time we will have at the parks.

You go Trish! I think if we don't get these by Friday there are going to be four hopping mad women on these boards!

Me too! I'm hoping some of the characters will show up. That would really make my daughter's day!

Ohh...Sounds like lots of cool extra suprises that most people never get the chance to do! I'm so excited for you all!

Me too! Since I had no luck making ADR for any character breakfasts!

Ohhhhhhh....girls......I was just remembering a charity breakfast that Disney had at Disneyland in the early morning. It was at CLUB 33!

It would be beyond fabulous if that's where they did breakfast for all of you. All I can say is....if it's there be SURE to visit the ladies room.

[LMN]

oohh..do tell! What is Club 33?? I am enjoying this thread, but hope that the 4 of you get your packets SOON! How much waiting can we all be expected to endure!?

Please make sure you all take lots of pictures and fill us in on all of these surprises! I can't even imagine how excited you all must be!

We were told the breakfast was going to be on Main Street. So I guess we're eating outside???
