No but when they give you less then 24 hours notice to arrange doing something it really annoys me.

Morning Diane - Its a lovely day here as well.

How are you today? Are you going to phone Disney today?

Just tried to phone and they aren't open til 9:15am on a Saturday, so going to try again in 5 minutes.
Going to start off with 'I want to make enquiries about cancelling my holiday' and take it from there, not expecting too much but I will kick myself if I don't even try. Hotel New York (which we originally priced up and was outside our budget) is coming up cheaper than what we are paying for the Sequoia Lodge, if they upgraded us I'd be happy with that as would DD2!

 

[Dianetigger]

Oh meant to add, I'm very well, how about you?

 

[A Small World]

You can only try - as you say you will kick yourself if you dont at least try.

let us know wont you

Just phoned, no joy at all. She was quite happy for me to cancel and to lose the £358 deposit, rebook and paying another deposit which I just can't do. She wasn't interested in doing anything apart from getting me to cancel, said it was shareholders price and if I wanted 'regular' prices I should have said!!
Not sure whether to try again later and see if someone else has anything to offer.

oh dear - it might be worth trying again but be prepared for the same answer

Yes I'm prepared for the same answer, guess it just surprised me how happy she was to cancel straight off without even asking what the reason was.

Guess I'd better go and see if the washer has finished, need to pop into town and get some potatoes and eggs, DS has just left to meet some friends and go and watch Crewe play.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure you'll get very far trying to do this...

Unfortunately, DLRP seems to be a little like how the national rail used to be known for (though they've improved a little now):

1) You only get the prices you actively ask for and name correctly, plus it's made harder to get some (such as shareholders, room only, castle club, suites etc) as you have to phone them rather than being able to enquire online.

2) If you change your mind later on then you can't just move your booking - you have to pay an admin fee (in this case by losing the old deposit).

Personally I wish DLRP would become a lot more transparent with their prices and make it easier to work out for sure what is cheaper.

Having been and put the washing out and done some thinking (although I am going to try once more just for the heck of it) I've realised that I have had one saving (£278) with my shareholder card and at the time I was more than satisfied with that, so I'll continue to be happy about that saving instead of dwelling on the price it is now.
Thanks everyone for letting me vent on here though, I did need to spin some things around!

 

[Dianetigger]

Ooops double post, sorry folks!!

 

[Danauk]

Morning everyone,
I'm just stopping by quickly, I won't be around today as we are going to Southend in a few minutes to my nephews 1st birthday party.
Have a fab day everyone.

To be honest Diane thats probably a good attitude to take or you'll just continue to be frustrated at the price.

Someone else has just mentioned about the 40% being online only which probably means paying it all at once anyhow rather than just the deposit

 

[poppyolivia]

morning!!!

whats this about 40%??? Is there a thread on it? Not sure if I know about it or not...can 'normal' people book? Or is it for shareholders?
