Website Down?

Gotta say, a day like today is what has 100% sold me on using a TA. I saw the room only discount early this morning and emailed her to change my resort for July. I did not notice that it went through my stay over Rosh Hashanah weekend and so did not mention that. Free Dining did not pop up until after I'd sent it - having an AP that was a moot point for me, but I did feel a little guilty about adding to her workload simply for a resort change.

Within 30 minutes of her office hours beginning, she had emailed me that she had changed my resort for July AND she had applied the discount for my Rosh Hashanah weekend stay.

None of me dealing with the crashing website or waiting until I was out of school (I teach) to call and sit on hold. A simple email and it was done. And even if I had not emailed her, she would have applied the discount to my Rosh Hashanah weekend stay - and she said if I had not contacted her about changing, she would have put the one category available at my first resort on hold and checked with me to see if I wanted to change.

Hi. Sorry this is off topic. May I ask why you refer to your trip as your Rosh Hashanah weekend stay? I too observe those fall holy days and I'm just curious as to why you're referring to your trip that way.

I teach in NYC and we are off on Rosh Hashanah because of the large Jewish population (I am Episcopalian, so other than being off it doesn’t affect me). Because it falls sundown Sunday through sundown Tuesday again this year, it makes it a long weekend and a nice time to take a quick Disney trip.

I understand! Teacher here myself so I get it. I have to take the time off because of where I live. I would love to live where there is a bigger Jewish population! I HATE when the first day falls on Monday, because if Rosh Hashanah falls on Monday, that means the first day of Sukkot is Monday and Shemni Atzeret will also be on Monday. Monday is a BUSY teaching day in reading, but I can't control when the holy days fall, so I just make my sub plans and do my thing!
