I am on a mission to remedy the ticket issue that has plagued my family this trip and caused us to lose many magical, precious and un-crowded
minutes in the parks. I am heading to the front desk planning my presentation and reminding myself that it doesn’t usually pay to get angry. I must present my issue in a calm manner that accurately reflects the aggravation 
this problem has caused me.
I hit the desk and immediately ask for a manager because I know that the CM will not resolve my problem. However, I am required to present my issue to the CM so she can make sure she can’t fix the problem. So I tell her that I checked my Park Hopper tickets (2 of them) on the first day here and the CM said there weren’t any visits left on them and threw them out. I was pretty sure that I had 1 day left on each pass. I also checked my son’s ticket which I believed had 1 park day and 2 water parks and more visit left on it. The CM informed me that I didn’t have any park visits left but I did 2 water-park and more visits. The CM had me buy extra days on a separate ticket because she scanned my son’s ticket many times but could not add the days on. The CM told me I could still use the old ticket to get into the water park or laser quest and I needed to use the new ticket for the theme parks. I continue to explain that I could not get into Laser Quest and had to purchase admission. I went to the desk for a 2nd time and explained my problem to the CM who proceed to scan my ticket and do some things on the computer and informed me that I was all set. I am now back for the 3rd time because I couldn’t get into Blizzard beach and spent ½ an hour of my EMH trying to get to the bottom of the problem until I was informed that it had to be resolved at the hotel desk.
Okay, the CM tells me, I’ll get someone
. (I knew she couldn’t help me)
I meet some kind of manager and try to size him up and decide whether or not he can help me. I am not sure .
I have to repeat the whole story again
.
The manager then scans said ticket and says that there is 1 park visit and 2 extra visits but the CM invalidated the ticket. I tell him I knew there was a park visit on there but the CM told me no. He explained that she must have counted the day we hopped parks as 2 visits because it looks like 2 visits on the computer and you have to look at the dates closely. I said well that doesn’t help me with the 2 tickets she threw out and told me there weren’t any visits left because I was pretty sure each adult ticket had 1 park hopper day left apiece. I wouldn’t have saved the tickets if there wasn’t any days left.
He doesn’t really say much but he looks like he is thinking
, for a while. What is he thinking about? I just don’t know. Maybe he is trying to decide if I am being honest. Did the CM really throw out 2 of her park hopper tickets?
He then prints out 3 tickets. Not just any 3 tickets but 3 almighty
tickets. He explains the power of these almighty tickets. One ticket will get you into any park (theme park, water park, pleasure Island or laser quest) you can park hop between all parks (theme park, water park, pleasure Island or laser quest). You could go to Blizzard beach, laser quest Magic Kingdom and Epcot in the same day using this one ticket. They are also unlimited fast-passes and you get a night in the castle. Okay the fast-pass and Castle part was just wishful thinking but the 1st part is true. I never knew such a ticket existed.
So let’s tally this up I lost 3 regular park hopper days and 2 extra visits. I got into Blizzard beach free because I made a huge stink and I got three almighty tickets. I guess that is okay because he really didn’t have to believe me about the other tickets that the CM threw out. I’ll have to carefully plan when I use the Almighty Tickets to get the most bang for my buck. I still have 2 of them they expire in 2017.

Gotta love Disney Magic.
to use them because I want to maximize there potential so I keep buying new ones and holding on to the almighty tickets
Katiebug will be there too.
therefore only 13 more days to finish this trip report
was beginning to die down and we had no plan, which left me with a very strange 
feeling because we always have a plan. 
my older boys by dragging them into the Tiki tiki tiki, tiki room. We rode the magic carpets, the jungle cruise and pirates of the Caribbean. We needed dinner and decide to eat at Pecos Bills. Let me just say 
all over his tray. 
We find a spot next to this mom and her grown daughter and ask if it is okay if we join them in their small area and they say sure! I am 
and illusive toast. Im not so sure about the name Tonga, what exactly does that mean? What is a Tonga? It doesnt sound very appetizing. It sounds more like footwear or very skimpy underwear. Regardless of what the name sounds like, I really wanted to try it. We drove 
to the Poly because I knew that I could find it there but I wasnt sure exactly where. We found it easy enough and had a very nice breakfast. I was the only one who got the Tonga toast. I feel like I should say I loved it and it was the most amazing thing that I have ever had for breakfast but it didnt live up to my expectations given all the hype. It was sort of like going to see a movie that everyone says was incredible and then seeing it and feeling like it was okay. It never lives up to all the hype. I like to see movies that people say werent all that great. Then my expectations are low and I wind up thinking that the movie was great. I bet if someone told me the Tonga toast sucked then I would have loved it! Anyway, I would probably get it again.
or acknowledgment of our arrival. I kind of expect a warm reception, Oh great, Lilo and Donald are here with their 3 boys Huey, Dewey and Louey, so glad to see you! That never happens, except in my head. The boys took a swim and tried the volcano slide. I could hear DS #2 woo hooing 
it through the enclosed volcano every time he went down the slide. Ill tell ya, no one will ever accuse that boy of being quiet, and he is always making noises. Growing up my mother was always saying she just wanted 5 minutes of peace and quiet just 5 minutes of peace and quiet! I get it now! Some days I hide in the bathroom, not because I have to go but because I need 5 minutes of peace and quiet, just 5 minutes of peace and quiet!
were involved. Ultimately we dined at ESPN club and there was some sports trivia going on, the boys enjoyed trying to guess the answers. We decide it would be fun to swim at the Boardwalk. This is our home resort and we havent been since I was pregnant with DS#3. I started thinking about which resort is better. My friend will only stay at the BCV because of the pool. I can honestly say that I wouldnt rate one resort higher than the other. Granted the swimming complex of BCV has more to offer than the BWV but each Disney resort has own unique charm and I enjoy staying at each one. I am trying to stay in them all but they are building them quicker than I can afford to vacation! We dried off and headed back to the BCV to rest up for our last full day of vacation. Of course we hit the hotel and heard the magical tunes of DS #1, #2 and #3, Im gonna push the button!
