sorry guys (kinda long)

[madcat]

Ok I just want to say sorry for this rant but I had to get this off my chest to people that would understand. We leave for Disney in 3 days, my mother, father, husband and our two children will be all going together (as well as myself) my aunt her husband and her two children will be coming as well but they will be coming in on friday instead of wed. they will also be leaving on monday instead of tuesday.they decided that they didnt think that they would want to visit all the parks, and thats fine, they wanted to go to one of the water parks instead and thats fine too. My sons are a few years younger than her oldest girl and dont really have an interest in the water parks yet so we are going to go to the other parks instead. for several months we have been talking and planning,well I have been planning. Ive planned for everyone my family, my parents and my aunts. Ive had to call and make and remake ADRs becuase my aunts family didnt get park hoppers so we had to make sure that we were not going to be going to a park just to eat. I had also told her that we were going to be doing the MNSSHP and that if she wanted her girls to do it than to let me know so we could make the plans for that as well. she said she didnt think that she was going to do it, so I told my mother just to get the tickets for the 2nd. Well last night after the tickets had been bought, my mom calls me and says , now my aunt thinks that she wants to do the party and do they think that we could change some other things around or get tickets for one of the other nights. I was so mad, I understand that she might want her kids to do the party now and thats great but its not like this just came up, and she and my mother act like all the planning Ive done can just be made and remade up until the last second. ok im done now. sorry this is so long

Tell her we have tickets for this night. Here's the number, hope they still have availablity. Let her call on her own. Maybe then she'll realize the time and energy you have put into this trip.

Your plans are set; why should you change everything on her whim? You need to stand up for yourself.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but I know a lot of people that are perfectly capable for doing for themselves; but won't as long as others will do for them. It just makes me !!

MNSSHP tickets are not refundable. Tell her that and that you are sorry they won't be able to come with you as they are leaving before the party. You would have loved to have gone together and you certainly tried to accomodate her, but it's just to late to make any changes!

If they come in on Friday and leave Monday, and want to spend time in one of the water parks, they're going to have to pack a lot of stuff into not much time.

The only night they could do the MNSSHP is Friday, Sept 29. If I were you, I'd give them the number to call to see if they can get tickets for just their group for that night, and I'd still plan for the rest of the group to go Monday as planned and ticketed. Pixie Dust 112 is correct- these tickets are non-refundable.

Being the planner for the group can sometimes be a pretty thankless job. I'm sure you'll have a great time, just try to not stress too much if everyone else doesn't cooperate. They'll learn, and they'll appreciate you more NEXT time!

thanks everyone, I am really trying not to stress too hard about it. I just had to vent about the fact that they think you can just change and change and rechange and youll have all the options in the world with no problem. Oh well I got other things to worry about. two days to go and I gotta start packing

Bump. I agree. They are refundable <oops, I meant NON-refundable>. If she now wants to go, she can call to see if the same day you are going is sold out or not. If so, she'll just have to go on a different evening. Opportunity knocked and she didn't answer. She now has to deal with the consequences.

That has happen to me once and never again. give her the numbers and let them make changes but make sure its only to what they are planning. I had a relitive once make changes to a few things dinner ressies with out telling me. I was fuming. Of course she'll probably get the ressie and say look how easy this was....ahrrrrrr

 

[madcat]

you know. that would be just my luck. she would be like what is all the fuss about?I had no problems at all.
