I know that this story is my own fault. We live near an amusement park/water park. We have been annual pass holders since they opened 8 years ago. Today my best friend and I went to spend a few hours in the wave pool since it is finally not raining!! :woohoo: While we were in the water, less than 10 yds from our chairs/bags, my change purse that had my season pass, $12.00, and my cell phone in it, was stolen out of the bag. I know I should have used a locker but we have done this for so long we got complacent. What is weird to me is the way I feel. They had to be watching that I even used the phone. I always put it in the very bottom of the bigger bag just to protect it more from possible water damage, and they had to touch all my stuff to get to the bottom of the bag. :eek: I hate knowing that someone "out there" has all my numbers and stuff on my phone. My son had texted me to call his school and they texted him back "no". Phone has been reported stolen so they are not able to do anything else with it now. The pass is only good for 1 more month and they want me to pay $11.00 to replace it. No thank you, I'll wait til next year. BUT, lesson learned, I will ALWAYS get a locker and I will make myself lock my phone when not in use, just to keep anyone having access to my numbers if it is ever not in my possession again. Hope this might nudge someone else out of their complacency too and be saved from what I had to go through today!!!:sad2:
 
I'm sorry this happened to you. Thank you for sharing your story though and giving us all a wake up call. You certainly do let down your guard when you're at Disney. I know I do. I'll be more aware now. Did they cancel your park pass so that the thieves can't use it?
 
The pass has my picture on it. Thanks for responding. I am trying to be more active on the boards, tried to join chat last week, but those posts go flying past & my brain cant keep up! LOL!!!!
 
Thanks for the reminder...I've had my purse stolen twice in the last 3 years (out of a locked car no less) and I hate the feeling of my personal space being violated. There is an upside to your situation though - you can get an iPhone now and sign up to try and be a beta tester for Project X :) Have a good weekend! ~Elizabeth
 

Wish I could. Still under contract with Alltel/Verizon. :rolleyes1 Service has really gone downhill since the switch over. My son really wants an iphone.
 
I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. How vilolating! How irritating! I hope that the "clean up" goes well. Good luck.
 
So sorry about everything being stolen. How miserable!

Try again with chat. Yes, it is fast and furious. Sometimes it is all you can do to watch the words fly by. If you ask something and it seems to be ignored, try again. It may have popped in during a different hot topic.
