We're Going to Disney World!!---TR started 4/29!

Why do you think it's illegal to sell them on ebay? I've bought and sold tickets on ebay all the time. As long as they're unused, what's the problem?

Disney doesn't allow it but doesn't often shut people down. I do know of several instances where they went through and had eBay pull down all non-licensed Disney related auctions, though.

It's basically an auction at your own risk kind of thing.

Hmm I never thought of that...the thing is everytime I have dealt with AAA the people I speak to on the phone are never very nice. I know other people say taht they love AAA and their agent there but I have never had great experiences (and its not because I'm mean or anything, I'm extra nice! lol) But it's worth a shot, maybe I'll even ride up to the AAA branch near me and speak to someone directly there. The only issue I can see with booking the whole trip through AAA is can they use the code? And do you know if they'll charge me for booking through them?

Typically, when you call the general 800 number for AAA, you are transferred to their Travel Call Center. These are generic reps that book travel and can be awesome or flat-out horrible. I looked up the number for our local AAA office and called them directly. I got better service AND they are right down the road so it is easy to drop by when I need something.
 
So I called Disney at 7 am this morning with my fingers crossed. As I was mascara-ing my lashes I finally got connected with a CM. I was rushing because I was getting ready for work and the first CM was just slow as molasses (sp?)!! Anyway she verified all my info and then said and your email address is _______@____.com...I said huh?:confused3 It wasn't my email...now I've called there more then 30 times I'm sure over the past yr or so and never have they given me that weird email. I put it to the back of my mind but eventually the less then helpful CM told me nothing was available in value resorts still with that PIN. Since she was a less than helpful CM and I had a extra couple of mins, I called back hoping to get a more than helpful CM. After all those annoying questions (do they really use those?) I got a man who seemed nice enough. I gave him the PIN again and he kind of paused and then said "whose name did this PIN have on it?" I told him I assumed mine but I didn't have it up in front of me...then it dawned on me :idea:

You see, when I went to Disney in 2005 I went with an ex of mine :mad: I had just graduated high school and didn't turn 18 until August so, when we made the reservation we put it in his name since he was over 18. THE PIN CAME TO MY EMAIL, WITH ALL OF MY INFORMATION, IN HIS NAME! I haven't talked to him in almost 2 yrs now and most definitely don't get along with him or want to have anything to do with him!:furious: I explained to the CM and he said that I couldn't use the PIN because it wasnt for me!! I was mad to say the least and asked (very nicely considering how mad I was) if he could be removed from all my stuff! I don't want him on anything related to me!! Needless to say, the CM was adamant about not letting me use the PIN...THAT CAME TO MY EMAIL WITH MY HOME ADDRESS ATTACHED TO IT AND ALL. :sad2: I should be happy now though because it's one less set of numbers for me to run for prices :rotfl2:

Kristin,

I checked my email, and I didn't get your same offer, but I got this one instead:

Your family can enjoy a 3-Night/3-Day vacation package which includes room and
Theme Park tickets,
for as little as
$995.

$ 995 Family of four in a standard room at select Disney Value Resorts for stays most Sunday–Thursday nights 4/19–5/21/09.

$ 1,093 Family of four in a standard room at select Disney Value Resorts for stays most Sunday–Thursday nights 5/22–6/27/09.

Price based on 2 adults, 1 junior and 1 child. The number of packages available at this rate is limited. One Park per day. Tickets must be used within 14 days of first use. No group rates or other discounts apply. Offer is nontransferable.



This might work for me & Rachael to take a Mother/Daughter trip for her birthday in May! I'll have to call 'em and see what the quote is w/just 1 adult and 1 child. I really wish they'd join the rest of the hotel world and put in an area w/pin code or discount code entry so we didn't have to call! I don't have all the time in the world to call Disney.... :scared:

You know what I just realized? I bet I got this because they saw I was pricing cruises, and usually people tack on a 3-nt stay at WDW w/a 3 or 4 day cruise!

It's amazing how their system keeps track of your activity...

Hey Julie,
Mine was basically the same except it said 5 day/5 night between the first days for $535 a person and the second set of dates for $563. That would be perfect for you and Rachael, hopefully they let you use it for just an adult and a child! :thumbsup2 I agree with the whole calling thing. Its not like its a 5 min thing either you end up on the phone for a good 20 mins minimum when u call too! :headache: It doesn't matter for me about the PIN anymore anyway, I added a little update above so that should explain why :mad:

Hi there,
I got the same offer, but I haven't been looking at any cruise info at all. In fact, I have an 8 night trip booked for this April. I just got off of the telephone with a CM to see if this offer was better than the buy 4 get 3...it is not. It would be great for a long weekend like you suggested in your pp.

My current ressie is one single night, and then 7 nights (buy 4 get 3) with a 7 day park hopper no expiration and the dining plan. My total for the 7 days was 2006.66. When she priced out using the new code it came to 2165ish.

I know that's not your plan, but I wanted to save anyone using the buy 4 get 3 deal the phone call.

Yeah, so far it seems to me like the 4 day 3 free deal is the best one out. :goodvibes

Oh my! All these codes and pin numbers are so confusing!

I wonder if you'll keep getting codes and pin numbers till the trip?

Now, if only those tickets would get bought!

Hopefully I will and not other ppl I haven't talked to in 2 yrs :mad: lol (Look at the update above) I lowered the price on the tickets AGAIN! There's 3 watchers, I wish one would bid!!

Well I posted on other threads but wanted to post here as well!!!

My wife and I were supposed to go Jan. 16-24th...but we've decided to go in late September and can stay at CBR (In a Pirate themed room no less) which I'm REALLY looking forward to. Besides, the weather will be MUCH warmer or just about right..and the crowds are much less. The last time I went was in 1995 (August) and the crowds were perfect--not a long wait for most anything, except Space Mountain.

I hope you have fun on your trip and keep us posted :)

Can't remember if you said you've been to Disney before but if you haven't feel free to ask me questions as well as others on here.

Welcome! :welcome: Thanks for joining! CBR in Sept sounds great...definitely better then Jan, the weather is one of the reasons my BF and I waited til April. I have been to Disney 4 times before but this time I'm going with the love of my life :lovestruc and am by FAR the most excited ever...and the most informed thanks to the DIS! :disrocks:

My experience this past year was that I got, like, one offer in the beginning of the year for WDW. AFTER I booked my trip to DISNEYLAND, through WDW Travel, I started getting a pin code a month all the way up until Sept, before we left. When our orig. plan had been to go to DLR, it TORTURED ME! :headache: :headache:

And then we stayed offsite when we ended up going to WDW anyway so :confused3 . I'm just happy all these codes are coming out!

This was my (well not MINE but you know what I mean) first PIN ever...I hope I get more!!!

Disney doesn't allow it but doesn't often shut people down. I do know of several instances where they went through and had eBay pull down all non-licensed Disney related auctions, though.

It's basically an auction at your own risk kind of thing.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was illegal...nothings happened so far so I think I got lucky for once :)

I did actually call AAA and got a nice lady for once...the AAA branch near me is about 30 mins away so I didn't want to have to go there unless completely necessary. I definitely would think that you get better service if you go directly there though. However, the 10% discount they give me on tickets is not helping me sell those suckers! :mad:
 
OH MY GOODNESS!

That is SO frustrating!!!

I can't believe the pin was under your stupid ex bf's name! (well, I'm assuming he's stupid since he's your ex!)

I don't know what's up with the Disney system. They still have my phone number as my parents' phone number even though I haven't lived there in a VERY long time and I ask them to change it every time I call!

I'm sorry about that. But you're right...one less set of numbers to agonize over!
 
GREAT NEWS!!! I found someone to buy our tickets from us! They didn't sell on ebay (the auction ended this morning) but I was talking about it with a girl I work with and she's going to buy them from us! Her and her fiance are getting married in May of 2010 and then going on a Disneymoon and shes going to save them until then :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: I'm so happy!! I was really going to run up to her and give her a hug in front of all the members at my job!:hug: So on my lunch hour, I called Small World Vacations and had the lovely Nicole book us for a preferred room at ASMo, with 7 days of tickets plus WPF&M for only $1117.80!!:dance3: :dance3: :dance3: I'm doing the happy dance over here. :goodvibes

Yes it was extremely obnoxious that it was in my VERY stupid ex bf's name! I was just more mad that that meant I couldn't use it. I mean it was all my info and stuff but whatever, I have a great deal now :cheer2: Thats crazy with your parents phone number, idk whats wrong with the system.:confused3 They should fix it though!
 

Roller coaster of emotions with your posts that I just caught up on.

First, anger at stupid ex-boyfriend and the code that you can't use.

Then, utter excitement over reading how someone is buying your tickets and you get such a great vacation deal! Woo hoo!!! :banana:
 
YAY!!!!! :cool1: :banana: :yay:

I'm so happy that you were able to sell the tickets and that you booked the new package at a great price!

You must be SO relieved!

:banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :dance3:

I'm so glad you sold the tickets and you got a crazt good price on the package!!!!
 
Congrats! You must be thrilled. I know how frustrating it is to feel like you're paying much more for something than everyone else. But, I also know how great it feels to have such a great offer handed to you too!

That's the magic!

:cool1: I'm so excited you have no idea...actually you do because you're staying at the Beach Club thanks to the same deal I got! Mine's not quite as good as yours but hey I'm not complaining! Definitely had some anger issues after the whole PIN code incident but now it doesn't matter anyway! :yay:

That is WONDERFUL news! Yay for you! :woohoo:

Thank you! I'm absolutely thrilled :banana:

YAY!!!!! :cool1: :banana: :yay:

You must be SO relieved!

Thank youuuu!!! I am soooo relieved I was :worship: the girl I work with. I'm so much less stressed now :cloud9:

:banana: :cool1: :woohoo: :yay: :dance3:

I'm so glad you sold the tickets and you got a crazt good price on the package!!!!

Thank you!! I feel like I'm part of the cool club who used the discount now :rotfl2:

I definitely felt like I was paying more then everyone else and was NOT happy about it but now I'm estatic! :cheer2: Without a doubt THIS is the magic of Disney :goodvibes

Yes, getting both a great deal and going to Disney does tend to make me a bit light-headed with excitement. :goodvibes
 
So this weekend was pretty boring. Friday during the day I had to take my grandma to the doctor. Then when BF got home from work we took a ride up to the mall to get the necklace he got me for my college graduation fixed. Not to toot my own horn but this necklace really is gorgeous. I'll post a pic to show off a little :snooty: :) Anyway, the necklace is from Zales and when BF bought it he got the protection plan on it (he knows me too well :lovestruc ) Needless to say the other day I lost a diamond out of it. :guilty: So we took it to the mall and me, being the ditzy blonde that I am, left all the receipt/paperwork stuff at home. So they wouldn't fix it for me...now I think thats kinda weird because I can't imagine that EVERYONE keeps their receipts. There has to be some kind of computer way to look it up, dontcha think? :confused3 Oh well, now we need to go back with it.

Saturday my dad forced me to go to the doctor. See, I've been sick with a cold bug type thing for a couple days :sick: and he heard me coughing my lungs up when I woke up at about 7:30 am and called and made me the appt. himself. Then he dragged me out of bed and made me go. The reason I haven't gone is because I currently have no health insurance. Once I graduated college I came off of my parents plan and now need to wait until January when I go back to school to get back on it. So $75 for the office visit and $40 for the prescription later (:scared1: ) I'm feeling better today.

Then Saturday night BF and I went out to eat with his friend and his GF. Dinner was terrible :mad: , and trust me, it takes a lot for me to say that. BF and I agreed that we wouldnt be heading back to that place anytime soon.

Today I re-printed all of my reservation stuff for our trip :banana: mickeysmyboy made me a super nice new cover for the trip binder because, well lets face it, mine was pitiful. So I fixed up my trip binder (I'll get a pic up soon I'm just to lazy to get off my tush and go take the picture now :surfweb: ) and then watched my Giants kick the Ravens' butts :cheer2: :cheer2:

So now that you've heard about my boring weekend I have a question...??

Has anyone been to the Pirate & Princess Party? It would fit perfectly into our schedule when we're there but I'd rather spend the approx $45 each on other souvies or something if its not worth going to. Feel free everyone to let me know what you think or what you've heard regarding it. Thanks so much for reading :goodvibes
 
Hope you feel better soon! Definitely post a pic of your necklace -- I love seeing pretty jewelry.

We did the Pirate and Princess Party and loved it. It was fun to collect the necklaces and the park is almost empty. The parade was super cool. Would I do it, if money were tight or I knew I wanted that money to spend on souvenirs? Maybe not. You are getting that $200 gift card, though, right? That would justify it in my eyes.
 
I hope you feel better soon! There's all sorts of nasty stuff going around lately!

Definitely post pictures of the necklace! I love jewelry!!!! Leaving the paperwork at home is totally something I would do too!

I'm glad you like the covers!!

And, of course, I'm glad the giants beat the ravens butts!! We're huge giants fans in this house!! DD is in love with Eli Manning for some reason!! LOL! She even named one of her webkinz Eli Manning!! Tooo much!!!!

I agre with CharlestonPrincess, P&PP is a lot of fun!! We went in March. You got a good deal on the trip and I'm assuming your getting the $200 gift card. GO FOR IT!!

Thank you for your well wishes :goodvibes and you made me feel a lot better about bragging about my necklace :laughing: Thanks for the advice about the P&PP. We're not getting the $200 gift card (we're going too late to get it :headache: ) but from what I've heard the park is empty, like you said. Being able to walk on all those rides almost justifies it in itself to me. idk, we don't have to get tickets right away but it seems like we'll probably do it if money's lookin ok when it gets a little closer princess:

Thank you for the well wishes :goodvibes I'll post a pic of my necklace soon too. I felt like such an idiot leaving the paperwork at home because the whole reason we drove out to the mall was to get the necklace fixed in the first place! I loveeee the covers too :worship: That is soooo funny that your DD named one of her webkinz Eli Manning! My favorite player is Brendan Jacobs/Antonio Pierce...its a tie for me :laughing: A few weeks ago BF bought me a Jacobs jersey I every week for the games I rotate between my Super Bowl champs shirt from last season and my jersey.

I'm not getting the $200 but I think the P&PP is something we definitely want to do based on everything we're hearing. As long as we're looking good on the money end of things when it gets closer I think we'll be adding that to our itinerary! :banana: pirate:
 
Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, but that's a whole lot of money to have to have spent! Good thing you saved some money on your Disney trip!

I hate going out to dinner and spending the money on it and then being disappointed!

Please do post a necklace pic!
 
I say YES! to the P&P party. After MNSSHP, DH & I said we'll ALWAYS go for special events because of the walk-on rides and awesome fireworks & super-cool parade! Besides, how many chances in life do you get to dress like a pirate when it's not Halloween?

Glad you're feelin' better!
 
I don't know how I forgot this in my update yesterday but Friday night my BF, brother and I went to a fundraiser held at the local Knights of Columbus. You see, my cousins good friend has lymphoma. He's 29 years old and it's in his pancreas (sp?) and his lungs :sad1: He does not have health insurance so he's on medicaid but they don't cover all the pain medication he needs to make it through the day. Everything at the fundraiser was donated from the food, to the DJ, to the hall itself to t-shirts with her friends name on it. I heard they made about $6000 so hopefully that will help him out alot. Please keep him in your prayers:hug:

Something else I forgot to mention yesterday (what a terrible sister I am) is it was my brother's bday. He turned 19 (to him that means he thinks hes like 25.) So happy birthday to Kevin. :banana:

Well, I'm glad you're feeling better, but that's a whole lot of money to have to have spent! Good thing you saved some money on your Disney trip!

Thanks and luckily since my dad forced me to go to the doctor in the first place, he paid for it. He loves me :laughing: :hug: We were definitely disappointed at spending money on a dinner we didn't even like...thats not to say we didn't eat it because we did (we like food too much to not have eaten it :rotfl: .) I'll post a necklace pic soon :goodvibes

I say YES! to the P&P party. After MNSSHP, DH & I said we'll ALWAYS go for special events because of the walk-on rides and awesome fireworks & super-cool parade! Besides, how many chances in life do you get to dress like a pirate when it's not Halloween?

Glad you're feelin' better!

Thanks for the info, it's def looking like the P&PP is a go, as long as money is ok when it comes time to buy the tickets. :thumbsup2

Just buy one at a time, no one says you HAVE to buy them at the same time!

Awesome about the benefit btw! :thumbsup2
 
Who ever thought the words stupid and Zales we belong in the same sentence? :confused3 BF and I went there a bit ago to drop off my necklace to get the diamond replaced and to get it cleaned. To replace the diamond it's going to take


6 weeks!!!

Jeez, I'm not going to have it back until after Christmas! :headache: Uggggghhhh :guilty:


And in more un-Disney news, I registered for school yesterday and applied for my loan today :goodvibes I'll officially be a student again as of January AND I'll have health insurance again, thank god.


In Disney news, theres not much unfortunately. The more I think about the postponed ADR making date and read the ADR board the more nervous I get about calling in on Dec 22 when they're supposed to open up my dates. It's gonna be crazy AND I know I have to work that day :mad: Chris and I went into the Disney outlet when we were out before too and they didn't have barely anything for adults. Lotsssss of stuff for kids but none for us big people. Oh well, it was probably a sign from God reminding me that I shouldn't spend the money anyway :lmao:
