Hey all, I just finished speaking with Hope at the Disney Executive Offices. I had written an E mail to Guest Communications complimenting them on the Passholder Preview of M:S and asking when passholder rates would be released for my next trip. Hope from the Disneyworld Executive Offices called me here at work. She didnt know, which I expected and she had asked me when passholder rates were usually released. With a little help from Mousesavers.Com (Thank you Mary) I was able to give her that history going back about 3 years!!! The difference of when rates were released was anywhere from one week ( yes one weeks notice!) to quite a few months!! I told her some of the items that people had been saying on this thread. I explained the nightmare I think CRO is going to go through in any event, whether it is because people are cancelling or changing to take advantage of the Passholder rates if they do get released. I told her that I thought a bit more communication instead of this waiting would help somewhat. I also explained that many people will seriously second guess the decsion to renew the AP's without the discounts. She said she would pass the info along. I dont know if it will go anywhere, but at least I got to a live person, outside of CRO. Here's hoping that it wont fall on deaf ears!!! Belle
P.S I didnt tell her where i was getting the information from just giving her date ranges for the stay and when the discount was released for those dates!! Cant sell out our friend, Mary who does such a wonderful job!
