So here it goes, my (now fiance) boyfriend and I have been together for awhile and still hadn't taken a vacation together aside from weekend road trips here and there. We finally decided to go to Disney World because it has always been our favorite place to visit. So in June of 2010 we called and planned our trip. We decided to make small payments whenever we had extra money and had till September to do so. Whenever we called to make a payment we did so together or he did it on his own and never really had a problem. Our last payment was due in September (Labor Day weekend) so he asked me to call and do it on my own because he was busy, so I did. I called and spoke to a CS agent and she decided to be chatty with me, which i didn't mind. She then decided to say, " I see you are celebrating 2 events while you are with us", at this point I was confused because I only knew that we were sort of celebrating my 25th birthday down there since it was a few weeks before our trip. So confused I said, "2 events?", she said, "yes, your birthday..." (ok...) " and an engagement!" me " and a what?"....well at this point you know something is up. So I told her she must have been mistaken and I had no idea what she was talking about... which she kind of took by surprise (I don't know why, because usually a proposal is a surprise, right? Common sense?)...she waited a few minutes and then guilty said, "oh, I must have been looking at someone else's screen". To late...ruined! Now I have thoughts running through my head, whether or not my boyfriend would propose or if this really was a mistake and if it was a mistake...way to get my hopes up!
Needless to say, after I got off the phone with her I right away texted my boyfriend asking him to call me when he got a free moment, but not before my best friend (who was sitting right next to me during this whole ordeal) texted him what happened. Well, he has quite the temper with ignorant people and he right away called Disney freaking out, and spoke to a different CS agent who told him immediately that it was too late the damage was done and there was nothing she could do about it which he then responded of course there isn't anything YOU can do but i would like to speak to your manager.
Well, when they say a conversation may be recorded for quality purposes they aren't lying...they had our entire conversation recorded and played it back for my boyfriend. Well this just ed him off even more now hearing it word for word. At this point, yes it was out of the box and Disney gave us a few upgrades in our hotel, and our park passes, and gave us free transportation to and from the airport (not on the magical express), because let's face it they truly F'ed up.
My boyfriend and best friend spent the next two months effectively convincing me that this was an error and I was not getting engaged in Disney, so I went down to Disney with the hope I was getting engaged but convincing myself that it may not happen.
On October 25, 2010 he took me out to Victoria & Albert's at the Grand Floridian, before the appetizers even came out he got down on one knee and proposed... it was the most romantic thing he has ever done and although I deep down sort of knew it was happening, I still was surprised (maybe not as surprised as I would have been with Disney not telling me ahead of time though I guess I'll never know). But the fact that he spent months planning it and I guess everyone knew but me just made it romantic.
We will be getting married October 20,2012 and although we looked into having a Disney Wedding which would be magical, it is a little out of our price range. We will visit Disney again and often but be a little more careful with what information we disclose to them when scheduling our trips.
