Here. I brought you these:



Feel a little better? (I won't be insulted if you say NO!)

The thought is appreciated.

But, no, it doesn't help much.

But thanks anyway.

Geez.

And it only gets better! I just called Group Dining to update the number of guests for our rehearsal dinner at O'hana, and had to deal with the most stupid reasoning I've ever heard!

I originally made the reservation for 14 people. Since then we've had two spouses let us know that they won't be able to attend, so I called today to give them our guarantee and update our count to 12 people.

When I spoke to the gentleman at Group Dining, he informed me that in order to change our guest count from 14 to 12 they'd have to re-book the reservation and that since there isn't any availability for that night, we wouldn't be able to rebook, essentially saying that if we tried to change our reservation to 12 people, we'd get no reservation at all.

I'm kind of flaberghasted. We're trying to let them know that we won't be using two seats and they tell us if we try to do that we'll lose our table entirely? Does this mean that they expect us to pay for 14 people? Why would our table be unavailable for 12 of us if we've had a reservation for 14 for the past SIX MONTHS?

Per the BEO, the guarantee is due to them by noon tomorrow. Shouldn't that mean that we can change our count up until that point?



I should have just stayed in bed, today

How did I miss this? Here I am, quietly minding my own business and I get attacked by Rosie and Wally! OK, Wally - I hereby withdraw my invitation to the concert and Rosie, wait 'til I meet your mother!!

But! But! I was defending your honor! I didn't call you a BIG help! Wally did!


ps...please don't tell my Mommy!:scared1:

Rob - It'll work out- It won't be perfect -
but it'll be fine - and everyone will have a great time.
Make sure you do too!

Right Rob! And even if the make you pay for the 14, just do it. move on with life, and then after the honeymoon raise a hissy-fit. Choose the path of least resistance the next few days, you've got enough on your mind

I know your already stressed without having these things jumping up in front of you. I am sure you have already done this, but get written confirmation from your wedding planner as to what is being promised, that way you'll have something to come back on should things not be 100% to your satisfaction.
I know things can never be totally perfect, but the basic things that you asked for.... well there should be no compromise!
I know we'll all still have a great time no matter what. I know we are looking forward to our "ya ya" tradition of drinking around the world on Monday.


Just Breathe..........

I've conducted all of our conversations via email or sent email follow ups covering what's been discussed and have archived EVERY correspondence I've had with DFTW since June of 2007.

I ain't no dummy.

 

[ckenlady]

just as I thought... I do the same thing..... get everything in writing that way no one can say you didn't ask for something or expect it to be a different way!

Well, this is one less thing I can stress about. Our Wedding Planner told us they'd deal with this on their end and we'll only have to pay for the 12 people who will actually be there. The Disney Fairy Tale Wedding Team just rocks!

Now the fun stuff. WAAAAAYYY back in June of 2007 Scott and I decided that we wanted to have our ceremony at the Adventurers Club. And we decided that we wanted to have our ceremony during the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, so our guests could enjoy that as well. This presented us with a problem. The Adventurers Club typically got decorated for Halloween around the first or second weekend of October. So that meant we had pretty much one option for our weekend: September 26-28, 2008. Which as you all know has been a stressful choice due to the insanely stupid decision to close Pleasure Island. So we walk into the club on Friday night and discover that with their extended operating hours for "Pleasure Island's Last Call" they've added the Halloween Show and Holiday Show to the line up. This is great news. We love those shows. Then we walk into the Library and discover it's decorated for a combination of Christmas and Halloween. Fun for the last few nights. Stress for Rob & Scott who specifically didn't want the halloween decorations in our wedding photos. I've got an email in to our Wedding Planner.

Well, we've gotten a promise that the "Chrstmaween" decorations will be down in time for our photos and ceremony.

Keeping our fingers crossed for everything else.

Have to give our guarantee number this morning. It's like rolling the dice . . .

In other news, the great debate has been settled.

We know which one of us will lead when we dance at the reception.

Will it be Rob?

Will it be Scott?

Who knows?

Oh, that's right.

I do!

It's Tolliver isn't it?

 

[rpmdfw]

It's Tolliver isn't it?

Nope.

Sadly, Tolliver will be dropped off for a "spa weekend" at the vet's office on Friday, and we won't see him again until Tuesday.

We've never been without our little guy for so long since we got him! Wish we could sneak him into our villa at BWV and then into the reception. While practicing the "first dance" last night we said it'd be perfect if we could hold Tolliver between us while dancing.

I know that feeling... I am NOT looking forward to being without my brats, er, cats for 2 whole weeks.... What ever will I do without 8 pounds of Maine Coon sitting on my chest licking my nose to wake me up when the alarm goes off??????

I think Rosie might volunteer to do that for you!

She is going to be on her way home from her own trip while I am on my cruise!

Guess I will have to deal!
