I'm getting very worried...

I called the cake hotline and spoke with someone over at AKL Monday of last week. She really didn't seem to know what she was talking about (was not a chef) - long silences with no answers, etc. - but she took all my info and said that the Chef would get back to me no later than that Friday. Well Friday came and went, and I heard nothing. Saturday comes, and the same woman calls and asks if I got the message left by the Chef. I told her no one had called, and she told me I was wrong - that they did call. I told her that I have had my cell phone attached at the hip because I was awaiting this call - I know for a fact that no one called, and that no message had been left. Plus, if the Chef really did call and leave a message, why would this woman be calling me again when she has nothing to do with the cake pricing and design (what the Chef was calling about)??
So she gave me the phone number to call Chef Trish and give her my phone number so she can call me back.... Guess now I'm doing Disneys job???
I'm really getting worried now - I don't want to spend all this money with people who don't seem to know what they are doing. My only saving grace is the fact that our trip isn't till October, so I have time on my side....

Anyone have any experience with the AKL cake Chefs? Am I just hitting a bad patch with these two people, and everything will be OK, or are they really very unprofessional? I am planning on having the cake delivered for our dinner at Sanaa.
 
I got this cake delivered to Jiko, I dealt with Chef Jenny by email and it worked out fine :)

When my family was there in jan this year it was my birthday so my husband ordered me a cake and it was delivered when we were at tusker house in animal kingdom. The cake was beautiful but when I was reading it, it said "happy birthday to my princess KARL". Well my name is Kari so needless to say the rest of my vacation my kids and nieces and nephews called me uncle Karl. Disney was very apologetic and didn't charge us for the cake which was nice. We thought it was funny but the manger was upset and said she never saw that happen before. My husband said he didn't have any trouble ordering it over the phone. I know this doesn't help you just thought it was a funny mishap. Good luck with your cake, I am sure it will work out fine!
