I love coupons, BUT


I hate coupon schemes that are not really coupons at all. We are booking our Disney vacation this week, and what do you know, we got a coupon in the mail advertising 30% off, so I called, and I sat on the phone with some IDIOT-I swear it was her first day-for FORTY MINUTES, and every time she ran the numbers, I got a different price. Then, it turns out that the 30% is on the room only, which I would be fine with, but if I booked a package (room and tickets), then the 30% would not apply, AND I would not get my morning in Mickey's Toontown and Magical Morning in Fantasyland! OMG! Seriously, these people talk circles around you-GOOD THING I STILL HAVE SOME OF MY BRAIN CELLS LEFT! Next time, I am going have my negotiator husband call, I think he would talk circles around them! I just get so frustrated, but Pat gets off on it, he thinks it is so entertaining!

I am seriously sitting here debating staying off property because I am so annoyed! We usually stay at Paradise Pier, and they are sooooooooooo accomodating, but the operator at Disney Destinations was NOT!
