Just back from 9 days at Disney.... At check in, desk couldn't "read" our left over ('99) tickets to see how many days were left and told us to go to any park and ask Guest Services.
The next morning, we headed to Animal Kingdom. Waited in GS line, and then spent about 20 minutes while the CM tried to figure out how how tickets got messed up. Anyway, after everything was straightened out, he said we each had one day left and printed new passes. Then my husband and I decided to go whole hog and get the 6 day park hoppers with Water Parks and more so we could go wherever we wanted with our 2 sons for the other days. With a gulp, I got out the Credit Card to pay the 1200+ for the passes.
The CM tells my sons "Patience is a virtue that is always rewarded" and gave them fast passes for all the FP rides at AK for the whole family. We thought that was so nice. THEN... he proceeds to tell my husband and I that Disney is making Dreams come true for their guests this year and our park passes would be COMPLIMENTARY!!! I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! Let me tell you we sure enjoyed the week, knowing that Disney picked up the tab.
We also were given a behind (actually, above) the scenes tour at The Living Seas by a CM, a VIP pass to Fantasmic at MGM guest services, and several times guests passes on their FP when we were walking through the park.
This trip was a respite for me as I am the caretaker of my Mom who has ALS. I'm not sure if it was a divine intervention, but it certainly was a dream vacation that my whole family will never forget!

it's an awful disease. My BIL passed on Easter after his fight with ALS.
