Hi guys, I'm fairly "new" to this forum, signed up forever ago but just recently started reading and posting again. I normally lurk, not because I don't want to help out, but because I feel like I can't add anything new to what you guys already post. Ya'll are way more versed than I am in the Ways of the "World", so I'm coming for advice.
I'm taking my two DD's (ages 5 and almost 9) to WDW in December. When I made my original character breakfast reservations, I told the CM when he asked the ages of my children "one will be five and one will be nine". He asked if the five year old was into Playhouse Disney and I said yes, she did love some of the characters (I was making reservations at Hollywood and Vine). He said "Great, I'm going to have some fun with her". I said "Oh cool, thanks so much!" then added "So much fun the nine year old will be jealous?" trying to figure out what I was going to do for her, and he said, "Oh, I'll have fun with her too, no problem."
So, after he punched in some information, he went over to our princess dinner reservations and put in some more information and said "You are all set, I have some birthday fun for the five year old at Hollywood and Vine and some birthday fun for the nine year old at the Princess Dinner. Anything else I can help you with?" and I was so taken back I didn't know what to say. It's not EITHER of my children's birthdays in December, he just misunderstood my wording.
Now what do I do? On the one hand, we NEVER go during their birthday so it would be kind of fun to celebrate it with them, but the fact is, it's NOT their birthday and I'd feel deceitful telling the CM's it was. Plus, the Princess dinner is two days before the Hollywood and Vine lunch and how do I explain to the five year old to wait for her 'birthday fun' when it's neither of their birthdays? (Plus, she's a WAAAYYYY bigger princess fan than Playhouse Disney fan, she told me when she grew up she wanted to become a mermaid, the church we go to she calls Snow White's castle and told me last night that princesses were her favorite thing in the world. Sigh. Marketing geniuses those Disney people.)
I think the only thing to do is to call them back and to tell them he misunderstood and we don't have any birthdays going on at all which is probably what I should have done in the first place. I was just having the loveliest conversation with the man, come to find out, he grew up in the same state I did and lived about an hour and a half away from where I did and we were chatting about some of the spots we both knew about, which I thought was so funny, that I was embarrassed to tell him he misunderstood. Am I worrying about something silly?
Thanks for reading, I greatly appreciate your time!
