Wow I can't believe this, in fact I almost feel bad!

I had posted last week how bummed I was that We had family who got upgraded from a value to SS studios, for the same dates we were all going to be there. We were in POFQ originally. Well I wrote a letter to Disney, a very very nice letter, just explaining that I was bummed about it. I didn't ask for an upgrade, I didn't get mad, just said it was frustrating to hear about other members of our family who were travelling at the same time getting an upgrade! I also said though, that I understood it was kind of a lottery system and I was excited for our family who got the upgrade.

Well today, I can't believe this, but a great CM from guest relations called and told me she totally empahtized and understood how unfair it all seems sometimes. She was really nice, and took the time to just listen and talk with me for about five mins. I was very impressed. :love::love:

THEN

About an hour later she called me back......and said she was authorized to offer me a FREE upgrade to Saratoga Springs into a 1 bedroom Villa! She said they thought it would be nice for the whole family to be at one resort. I was shocked!! I totally didn't expect this. Yay now we all get to be together!!! We would have done it this way to begin with, but POP just seemed to small for my husband and I plus three kids so we felt like we had to get a mod. Our other family couldn't afford the mod so they stayed with pop....I just cannot believe that they did this for us. It will truly be a special family vacation now.....all of us together! So excited! There have been lots of threads about poor customer service on here lately, but Disney STILL has some of the best people around!!


She even made our ressie into a grand gathering, which we hadn't done before. (we are disney newbies)...

I guess when you least expect it Disney sometimes showers you with magic! :wizard:
 
Wow, what a nice story! So happy you were sprinkled by the pixie! pixiedust:
Have a great vacation!!!!
 
That is awesome! YaY!

What you posted last week would have totally happened to us (our crappy luck ya know?)and while I would have been happy for the rest of my family I would have been a bit sad as well.

I am so glad that you were upgraded as well!:woohoo:
 

This happened to us last year. My dad got the upgrade, but no one else did. They ended up upgrading our whole group (3 rooms total) to the 1 bedroom suites at SSR after we made a phonecall to ask if it were possible to do. They were WONDERFUL!! I can't tell you how much we enjoyed staying there. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
 
:love: That is some special Pixie Dust.

I am so glad your family can be together now.
 
Oh, I am so happy for you and your family. I hope you all have a wonderful Disney vacation. :yay:
 
Congratulations :yay: I guess it shows that the old adage about getting more with honey instead of vinegar is still true :wave:

I guess so! It's funny because I almost think she expected me to be difficult on the phone. She was very cautious when she first called. And I told her that it really bummed out when I first heard last week that other people in our group where upgraded, but that now, I was just excited for them and hoping that it would be okay to come crash SSR's pool some afternoon! We actually just chit chatted for a few minutes and she explained that the marketing department uses mysterious formulas to determine who gets these promotional deals etc. But when she called back and offered me the upgrade I was still shocked! She said she was excited to hear my reaction too...I bet it would be fun to be in a position to sprinkle pixie dust around sometimes.

I wrote a nice email through the disney website to rave about her afterwards...hope she gets it!
 
That's the Disney magic I know and love. Congrats on your upgrade. Enjoy your vacation and please post pictures of your one-bedroom villa if you can!!! :thumbsup2
 
Congratulations and I hope you have a great vacation.

This is a true case of you will catch more flies with honey than vinegar.

Way to go Arabella!:woohoo:

Oh I totally will! I can't wait to see what it's like. I'm pumped because we've thrown around the idea of buying some DVC points so I'm interested to see what the villas are like!
