You guys won't believe this!

We are leaving tomorrow on Air Canada for WDW.

My DD and I have passports, but my friend Louise and her DD are travelling on Birth Certificates.

She can't find hers

We've has this booked for 5 months and the night before the trip she looks for her BC

So she went to the ministry this morning (in Toronto) to get an emergency BC issued - but it takes 2 days, that is the soonest

So she has an expired Canadian Passport and she is going to a lawyers to get an affidavit that she is a Canadian citizen and she is going to try that tomorrow morning and see if she gets denied boarding or not.

I need a

Also, I don't even know if I will be allowed to take her DD12 with me, she will do a letter.

We are all devestated and so upset

Good Luck

 

[pooksma]

Awww man. That's awful. Good luck and best wishes. Here's your

 

[disyady]

Hope this all works out for you and that your trip is magical.

 

[Cass]

I don't even feel like going now.

 

[sean-1966]

Talk about leaving it till the last minute.

 

[Cass]

I know. and I discussed it with her several times that she should get passports.

It's crazy, we have had this booked since July, I am upset and sad and I am also getting angry.

So she has an expired Canadian Passport and she is going to a lawyers to get an affidavit that she is a Canadian citizen and she is going to try that tomorrow morning and see if she gets denied boarding or not.

Tell her to bring a current drivers licence as well and to KEEP LOOKING FOR THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

This might actually work, here's hoping that it does!

 

[Cass]

Except now she says she can't find her expired passport either. It's probably with her BC.

If I cancel them off the Disney reservation by tonight there is some refund, less penalties - this is the PLATINUM PLAN we are on.

If I wait until tomorrow it will be like a no show and all the $$ will be lost.

The airline tickets are non refundable, so there's 1000++ gone.

 

[madonna31]

I'm assuming you are on a Magic Your Way package and that you booked directly with Disney?

If so; by cancelling tonight, you will be charged $200 USD. WDTC is open until 10:00PM, so she has until then to find it.

 

[Cass]

Yes that's right. But she wants to try and get on with the lawyers letter tomorrow and see if she is denied boarding, then the $$ will be gone.

I am still waiting to hear how things are going with the lawyer, etc.

 

[madonna31]

and see if she is denied boarding, then the $$ will be gone.

Not neccesarily...if she's denied boarding, then she can call WDTC right after to cancel herself and her DD instead of calling the WDW resort directly. By doing so; she should only endure the $200 cancellation fee.

 

[SandraC]

Cass, I PM'ed you.

 

[robinb]

Can you change her airfare and join you when she gets her birth certificates? It's also not just boarding the plane, but customs in the US that she has to worry about.

 

[Kelly Ripa]

Oh....
That's so disappointing...and no fun when a good friend disappoints you...



Let us know...I'll keep fingers crossed and a few toes too!

 

[madonna31]

It's also not just boarding the plane, but customs in the US that she has to worry about.

Yes, and getting back INTO Canada.

 

[sean-1966]

Maybe try driving over to Buffalo and flying out of there, if she gets denied. It's easier to drive across than fly across. Southwest has several flights every day.

 

[Tantor]

That is frustrating.......please update us.

 

[iluvdizknee]

Did you try calling the airlines and telling them the situation. They may have a suggestion for you, what to do or what to bring. Good Luck!

 

[Scratch42]

OMG! How Awful!

Cass I'm Speechless!

I can't believe that she would leave this for the last minute!

Pixie Dust that all goes well!

Please let us know!
