Hey all!!
Just wanted to share an experience I had on our October trip...
Usually, I book a package for our WDW vacation but, this time I found it would be less expensive to book hotel seperately and buy our four day Park Hoppers online in advance.
Well, since I am so used to just picking up our room keys with the Park Hoppers on them at check in at the resort, I TOTALLY FORGOT to pack my already purchased PH's and off we went on our 12 hour drive to Orlando. I didn't even realize it until we hit Florida. Needless to say I was frantic, I didn't think that there was any chance anything could be done except for us to buy new PH's when we got to the resort. Did I mention that I had also purchased MNSSHP tix early as well and forgot them too?:hammer:
Once we arrived at the Polynesian, I was totally prepared to buy new tix and was praying that MNSSHP was not sold out. The CM who was checking me in could tell that I was extremely upset and asked what the matter was. Well I just started blubbering, telling her what I had done and how stupid I was. She told me to calm down and that she would do whatever she could to help me. She asked where I had purchased the tix and I told her, on the WDW website. She then smiled and said that if that was the case then she was sure that she could help us. She called ticketing and explained the situation to them and arranged for us to be able to pick up replacement tickets at park guest relations the next morning!! I was beside myself to say the least!!
The moral of the story is that if you don't purchase your tixs from WDW, and you forget them then chances are they won't be able to help you if you are a dumbhead like me and forget or lose your tix!!
