hi all. i only have a short time to be online. told dh aka sh that i would go out with him to eat. he drinks i don't so i drive. jules, if you want to go with me, i will get a drink with you and it won't be water. first time for everything huh.
i might not drink it but a sip but i will get a drink with you.
yea mic. my so called friends cancelled out on me. they have been saying for two years they want to go to disneyworld but needed someone that has been there before to show them the ropes there.
of course i said yes..........we started planning in march. i had a special from disney buy 4 night dream maker paackage and get 4 nights free. it was people that opened a visa disney card between feb 1 thru april 30. you had to be approved for the card and use it and then book your dream maker package by april 30. i get $100 disney dollars, $25 gc for planet hollywood, two lanyards and pins, the room and uph all for $700. since it is based on two person occupancy i had to pay the extra. otherwise it was 499 per person. still a great deal and i added a room only night. i also booked hard rock hotel for 4 nights and used the entertainment card for the discount. already recieved my bonus pass of 5 days for us/ioa, the
hhn event for two nights and special express pass for hhn and bought the
mnsshp for oct 3. the hard ticket events are non refundable no matter what. also bought the plane tickets in early may. in july ( isaid last month when i posted before but forgot this is sept) they said they weren't sure. only because i asked them if they got their plane tickets yet they told me that.
i bought the hhn after i found out they cancelled but got the mnsshp before they cancelled. they were to pay 2/3 of the hrh bill and split the town car from home to airport and town car from mco to hotel to other hotel and then to mco back.
transportation alone for the car is $100 one way from home to chgo airport. times that by two, and the quote i have from two car services in orlando runs between $135 to 155. that stuff i was only to pay 1 / 3 now i pay it all...........$ i hadn't planned for. thank goodness for cc...................
on the dream maker package they were only going to get the park tickets on line. I had it set up where we would pay the extra $10 per night for the third adult.
they said they would kick in 40 for the room to help out.
lo and behold, they cancelled out on me. said they would only want to stay 5 days only............and said they didn't put in for vacation time from work.....
just yesterday they told me they went to see a
travel agent and are making plans to go to new york for 5 days...........guess when they are going........oct of course. and then they asked if i wanted to go with them and cancel my orlando trip.
i am going solo and will enjoy it. i made up my mind that screw them, my one and only trip without the kids and i will go and see everything i missed before.
i even booked the value resort so it would be cheaper for them, i would have if i knew i was going alone would have booked sept which is the last day of value season, bought a ap and done the room only thing at disney. instead, i start the first day of regular season. oh and get this, if i would have booked during value season, the dream maker package would have been for me $575 total.
yea, jules, i know exactly how you feel......................come with me, we will have fun...................you can meet my gay cousin for 2 of the days at disney and come with me to universal after we leave disney....
to answer your question mickey, yea, my friends cancelled out on me too. but i am going to make the best of it.. more i talk about it i AM looking forward to this solo trip.
