Well, isn't this special. Here I am at MGM waiting for DH and the older kids to meet up with me. I call the bank AGAIN to check the balance. Since both Disney and the bank have given me my money back, I am afraid both will realize the error and that the money will evaporate again. I wait for DH and pace.
DH finds us and we walk the kids around the corner to visit with Buzz, Woody & Jessie. We are the only family there so the kids have fun playing with the characters while I explain my hassle with the card to DH.
We putter around MGM until our PS time at 50's PrimeTime. We had a great server last time but this time, our waitress was....eh. OK. We use two adult vouchers so we get TWO plates of Smores for dessert to share. YUM-MY!!!!
Here are the 9 and 5 year olds sporting their ears at the Primetime.
We bus back to the hotel and my plan is a nap for everyone. Tonight is EMH at Epcot and I plan to ride Test Track until midnight. Of course, when we get back to the hotel, no one wants to nap but Mom. They are going swimming! FINE but don't come crying to me tonight when you are tired.
You all run along to the pool while Mommy goes to the front desk to commit felonious assault.
As I am standing in line waiting to speak to a guest services CM, my heart is pounding. Why am I nervous? THEY are the ones screwing with you. YOU are just trying to have a nice vacation. When it is my turn, I give my room #s and ask for a printout of my charges. The CM gives me the printout and begins explaining the charges to me as if I am 5 years old. The very first charge on the printout is the balance of the room charges. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! DESPITE PAGES OF NOTES ON MY ACCOUNT AND SPECIFIC PROMISES THAT THE ROOM BALANCE WOULD NOT BE CHARGED UNTIL SATURDAY, SOMEONE CHARGED IT ON TUESDAY?????? I explain to the CM that I was promised this would not happen. She checks the computer and after seeing all the notes, she says that all she can do at this point is cancel the charge and credit my account. ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME? THAT'S HOW WE GOT INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE, LADY. I am so frustrated at this point that I am absolutely going to cry right here in the lobby. I just take the printout and walk away.
I join the family at the pool and ponder how absolutely unmagical this trip has become. I feel like nothing more than a Visa card right now.
Time slipped by and before I know it, I have an unfortunate Mommy moment. I find myself telling the kids "If you don't get out of the pool RIGHT NOW, we won't get to Epcot when I want to. And if we are not on the bus in 30 minutes, I am going to have one of my MOMENTS." Gee, I guess this Mommy needs a Mommy beverage. Or two.
We do manage to get to Epcot without me having another hissyfit. We arrived to an empty Epcot with empty energy reserves. Despite the best of intentions, we find ourselves trudging out before 8pm. We just did too much today and without naps, we are wiped out. This is NOT going the way that I planned. Grrr.
Tomorrow, is the FINAL SHOWDOWN! Stay tuned.

installment will be happier.
I would have been pulling someone's hair out, and it wouldn't have been mine. 
I can understand though how you were afraid that they would even screw it up more. So far, they haven't had a good track record. I think WDW should have given you some free nights for what they put you through.
