All Right Now ..... Sweet Emotion
Little obsessive, but I check Disneycruise online almost daily to check GT trends and to just 'see' if an Oceanview for 5 would pop open...nope always over 7k for a Verandah. Tonight for the first time in 2 months an 8D popped up!! What?? I had to blink and make sure, I immediately pull up another tab to convince myself that we should just bite the bullet and pick this one. I quickly pull up GT rates on existing dates (March/April) and quickly figure out that for two IGT rooms at the lowest existing April rate, it would cost us $5900!! WHAT?? That is horrible! The 8D is just 3-400 more and we all get to be in one room (we prefer this actually). So, I quickly go back to my original screen and click on the button that says..."Late Dining Seating" or something like that, it takes me back to the home page!! What????AAGH! I've been booted out or timed out? EEK!
I nervously retype it in, and...whew! It's there again! This time, no hitting any buttons other than NEXT NEXT NEXT!! I get to the 'book this room' page and hit 'NEXT!' What?? I get an error code at the top of the page..."Sorry for the difficulty, but this room can not be booked online at this time, please call customer service or try again later" (or something to that effect)...aaaagh!!! Really???
ALL RIGHT NOW!! I am going to try one more time...Again, the room comes up!! I again hit BOOK THIS ROOM! Then I hit NEXT, so far so good, then it asks for passenger information. I'm too afraid the time I'm taking to enter all five in, the room will once again show Unavailable...but I'm also afraid that if I skip this step it'll start me all over...so I hit every field...not time to find passport numbers, I'll do that later!! I'm still before the 75 day period so it lets me just put the deposit down..that is even sweeter!
Within a few anxiety ridden moments, we are officially booked!!!!
SWEET EMOTION!!!!
Now, I just really must focus on healing this hip and getting this weight off!! This light at the end of the tunnel is shining now!! Bring on the cruise, officially 100 days from today!!! YAHOO!!!!
