Morning all.

Have a lovely birthday party Karen!

I'm off up Oxford Street/Bond Street today wedding dress shopping. Very exciting as I have one I love on hold for me - just scared the size I asked them to hold will be too small! How embarrasing!?!

Also looking forward to going to selfridges and the flagship disney store - love it in there!

Morning everyone

Anyone ever flown into Beauvais Flights to there seen to be cheaper but how do you get from there to DLRP? We've only ever flown to CDG

Keep planning fantasy holidays with 40% off

 

[Dianetigger]

After speaking to DLP twice this morning I've just found out that the price and holiday I booked on Monday did NOT include park tickets! I was furious as I'd specifically asked for everything to be included, it's all now sorted but I was told again that the 40% is ONLINE ONLY, to be paid in full and isn't offered over the telephone.
Good luck to anyone who does manage to get the offer over the phone.

How annoying, imagine if you hadnt found out it didnt include tickets.

 

[A Small World]

so have you had to pay a lot extra for the tickets Diane? Would it not have been cheaper to get APs coz you are going for so long?

 

[poppyolivia]

sweet lord I went to look and maybe book online..paul said if it was good....

for the times we can go the flights are frickin expensive...basically for 3 nights stay all in is just over 1.5K and other dates are under 2k...

think I'll leave it to you guys that can use the eurostar and cheap flights!

the flights were WAY more than the accomodation and tickets etc for the newport bay.....

not to worry would probably not be able to afford to eat anyway....

good deal for those of you that can go!!!

good luck everyone!!!

Thats not flippin on!....hope you gave them a piece of your mind!

Did you book the flights seperate?? I am scared to book seperate flights etc....but then I end up having to pay way over the odds for flights.....

glad you got it sorted out though!

 

[FiFi Rose]

You must be flying from Edinburgh too then

Would be cheaper to buy a plane

We find the same thing every time we try to price up a cheap few days break

 

[eeyorefanuk]

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.

I am really sorry about that, it is so annoying, especially because you are a "regular"

 

[Dianetigger]

£77.68 for 4 adults staying 10 days - now I kept asking him 'are you sure this is not EACH and it's for all FOUR of us for the whole 10 days?' and he kept replying that it was right, that the price went down because of the number of days we were staying. He only took £7.78 off my card as 10% deposit so I'm presuming it's okay, will double check the confirmation when it comes. Apparently on the gate we would have been looking at £500+ but as we've never bought on the gate I don't know how true this is, (not saying he was lying though).

I told the CM I was furious but that I understood it wasn't his fault, to be honest it was the 'couldn't care less' attitude of both CM's this morning that made me cross.
As for the flights, nothing booked yet, there was no way I was letting Disney charge me over £800 for flights that I know I can get for less that £600, every little counts! But I'm a little scared as I've never booked separately before, anyone know will I also need flight insurance 'just in case'?

 

[Dianetigger]

The first CM I called to see if they could do anything about the 40% mentioned the shareholder's price being 'room only' discount. I don't know why it kept bugging me, when I phoned again I asked them to check that park tickets were included (he already knew I'd phoned once that morning! ) when he came back to me that they weren't my chin hit the floor and I really began panicing as to how much more I was going to have to pay.

I know and I'm really worried again now (been checking the prices on the website), wish I'd gotten the CM's name as I did keep asking for him to make sure it was for 4 adults and the length of stay. All he kept saying was that the prices came down the longer the stay.
I think I may need to ring again just to clarify otherwise I'm going to send myself daft until the confirmation email comes in!

 

[A Small World]

the Email should be through soon so maybe wait and see what that says. The prices do come down but I didnt realise by that much

Okay panic over, rang them again (sorry Small World didn't see your reply till after the phone call) - the CM very kindly confirmed that Reid (now I remember his name from this morning) put through 4 adult park tickets from 22 July - midnight 31st July at a total cost of £77.68. Confirmation will be through by Tuesday when I will go through it with a fine tooth comb!
