Something kinda cool....

[wishspirit]

Pish posh.

We all already know how cool you all are and it was a great "feel good" story. I really appreciated reading it and would never have seen it if you hadn't posted it here.

My words exactly Lisa

There is nothing wrong in being proud of what you do, and the lengths you go to help people. It's one of the many reasons why we love you guys!

Kevin - thank you so much for sharing! This story brought tears to my eyes. Shirley is such an angel!
ETA: I only read to page 3 when I posted and finally finished reading. Wow - DREAMS ROCKS!!!!!! You guys are just amazing!!! Just thinking about it brings fresh tears to my eyes. Stories like this one are the reason why The Dis Rocks!!!

That is a great story Kevin. Thanks for posting the link. We already knew you were cool

I read this thread this morning and was heartbroken when I thought their trip was ruined and was practically in tears at the resolution. You guys rock.

I agree, I don't think this was self-serving at all. I cried through the entire thread (had my purse stolen and it was a horrible feeling, can't imagine it happening while on vaca). I can imagine how helpless they felt not knowing what to do. Sometimes we need to lean on somebody for help, support, and guidance. Clearly, The DIS has quite a few people who are willing rise to the occasion time and time again (no matter what the situation may be). Kudos to Shirley and the DU team for helping this family.

I don't think the post is self-serving, but I do think that everyone needs to keep things in perspective. Everyone involved did a great job in trying to help make it possible for the trip to continue. I think DU went above and beyond what a typical TA may have done, but, and this is a big but, if the purse had not been found, in time, with IDs intact, they would not have been able to board the cruise. It's great that everything worked out as it did, and the folks involved definitely deserve kudos for the assistance they were able to provide.

But you guys are cool! Excellent example of Dreams Unlimited commitment to service.

Thanks for posting the link Kevin- that was a true nail-biter!

I haven't used Shirley and Norman's services before, but will seriously consider them for our PCC2.0 cruise.

In case anyone else wants to know more about them- here is the link to The Perfect Gift. I had a devil of a time trying to find it on the site! (Thankfully) The DIS does not put sponsors and advertisers in your face- so it takes some digging to find them.

Everyone involved (including the CM who found the purse!) went above and beyond.
I'm proud to be a member of this great family!

The ladies, if they got it, flaunt it! Or would you prefer they hide it?

You extracted ladies flaunting it from this thread? You are a sick man indeed. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I should have quoted Kevin's post, but was just commenting on him feeling weird about promoting DU for a good deed. Try to keep up Captain triple bogey

Kevin so glad that you shared this story

 

[katscradle]

Wow! What a great ending.

I was so happy to know they made it!

Kevin, Thanks for sharing this. I don't think it's self serving either. This is the kind of thing that needs to be shared...with all the 'bad' stuff out there, it's nice to know that there are still wonderful people who will go the extra mile to help those in need. It's also an eye opener for those of us who are going to WDW and on cruises to be extra careful of the surroundings and protect our valuable documents because there are not so good people also.

Kudos to all involved.
