Mucho excitement in La Maison Allie yesterday morning. Kindly DHL man arrives with a big cardboard envelope, with the immortal words "Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista" printed in the corner. Practically shove kindly DHL mans electronic "signing thingy" back at him and knocking the wind out of him in the haste to rip open said package. DHL man beats a very hasty retreat, obviously not familiar with women in dressing gowns (twas but 8am) using their teeth to open pesky unyeilding cardboard envelopes, sealed with what appeared to be a ton of superglue.
On eventually gaining access to the contents I am not disappointed. Ah, it was as I suspected, four gleaming, shiny plastic tickets....tickets to Mickeys Very Merry Christmas Party on December 14th. We have two Mickeys, one Goofy one Donald. DD is mortified that her kids ticket is Donald. Doesnt Mr Disney KNOW that she wanted Mickey??? Still, she is calmed when I tell her she can have them ALL for her scrapbook after the party!!
In the letter that accompanies the tickets, there is a tantilising mention of a "Very Merry Christmas Dinner" available at Liberty Tree Tavern. Well, I must book that I think. Only 60 or so days until I can start booking some PSs. However, I am slightly suspicious that maybe, JUST maybe, you can book this earlier than 90 days??
I quickly try and find out if this is the case, and its Miffy2003 (Karen) to the rescue!! She is going the same time as us, and confirms they HAVE their PS for LTT already!! Lightening speed call to WDW-DINE. OOOOh, thats changed!! Lots of options...had to key in my phone number and there was lots of nosey questions from the automated operator...press 1 if you have visited WDW more than 4 times... Come on come on you stupid machine I NEED to talk to someone here, its an EMERGENCY .
Eventually get through to nice chap with a very heavy Southern American accent who cant understand one word I say After some perserverance (me talking V-e-r-y v-e-r-y Sllllooooooowwwwllly) he manages to ascertain my request. Again, get the Spanish Inquisition...where am I staying, how many times been to WDW, do I have a package??? I just want a flippin PS for LTT . Eventually, after several momentously long pauses where I think I have been cut off, (but havent) I get a PS! 6.30pm...perfect!! Have to leave a Credit Card Number (which expires before December, but they didnt seem to care!) and we are all booked!! Woo-Hoo...my very first PS of the trip! So excited...please excuse my waffle, but I had to share with people who can APPRECIATE my excitement!! Thanks again, Karen for the heads up on this! OOOh, and CONGRATS on your visit from the mysterious Tag Fairy!!
