I am hoping this is a joke, and a tasteless one at that.
These nice guys were trying to help everyone out by letting us know that an offer MAY be coming- and at that they said AUG 1 people- not July 29. I am really sad at the attitudes of many of you who want to place blame on David and Joe when really the blame should be on yourself. If you went ahead and booked non refundable air and tickets on a rumour, then really you need to look yourself in the mirror for blame.
As for those who can not afford to go without FD or RO, I am in the camp that I agree with you- I think sometimes these offers open up opportunity to people who otherwise may not have the money to go. I don't think that it is right to say they should not go just because they can't afford it without a discount. Having said this, smart finances says that you should wait until the actual offer is released.
I too think that disney pulled the plug on this one- and its just smart business to do so. Why would they offer a discount when they can get you in at full price? I do, however, believe that there will be a discount of some kind coming down the pipe, but I bet it won't be until the tornado this has become settles.
I am still hopeful too.
I'm disappointed as I was hoping to book today, but NO ONE is to blame for this. Can't blame Disney for canceling if rooms are booking! Can't blame anyone posting predictions and trying to help us. Thank you Black!
I did book the week of December 1st originally, yes, counting on free dining. Then those dates fell off the expected dates, so I have come up with a couple of alternate dates. Yes, I did book counting on FD but I figured I had until the 45day mark to cancel, which I already did, anyway. I did not re-book after the new date leaks, realizing, after joining these boards, that I may have shot myself in the foot booking before. Live and learn. sigh I'm not giving up yet though...my kids WILL make it to Disney one day!
Here's hoping for some Pixie Dust on Thursday!
