Doreen,
I am so sorry for your loss, and so glad you were able to be with your sister.
My thoughts are with you and your family.Marghi
 
Doreen, I too am sorry for your loss. I also wish PC would take care of situations like yours!
 
Thank-you everyone for your thoughts and condolences ,
One of my directors told Amy Neal in Disney and she said that they would make it right that PC would do somthing so I e-mailed the meetings dept and the replyed to me . Today I think I will call to see if they can do so anything . All I wanted was the hopper passes any way

Hi Doreen,

I am sorry you were unable to make it on the incentive, and hope that everything will work out for the best with your family.

Unfortunately as we had discussed Friday when you cancel you will receive only the monetary amount left on the gift card as that is the alternative award if you are unable to attend the trip. The gift card value for Level 2 begins at $900. Since you have already received the travel allowance that would be deducted from the total, as well as any other fees or charges associated with the cancel. The gift card may take up to 8 weeks to arrive.

So sorry for your loss. PC's response seems reasonable. Glad they are able to do that for you.

If I could go back to planning who to take with me, I don't think I would've brought the 4 y.o. She was a little too little and too hot and too tired of walking. LOL! I don't know how exactly I would've gotten away with leaving her at home.

I am so glad I am not the only mom who felt this way!!!! My 5 year old was so difficult the whole trip!! My husband looked at me and said we should have just come by ourselves, I told him going to Disney and leaving the 4 kids just seemed like a sacrilege:yuck: I spent hours each days sitting in the room watching the kids sleep:( We still had a great time though and I love Pampered Chef vacations!
 
Doreen,
I am so sorry for your loss, I hope you get to take your trip in December.

Beth had a party that we missed on Sunday because unbeknownst to me the GPS was set to avoid toll roads...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We had 85 miles left on our trip when evil Magellen said to leave I-75 and get on I-27...65 miles there were stoplights every few blocks to half mile. Our trip was so nice that even that won't tar my view of it!

That happened to us too! LOL! The whole time we were thinking there HAS to be an easier way to do this. Instead of getting there at 9pm we got there after 11pm and it made our overall trip take 17 hours:yuck: The kids were not happy by then.
 
I'm glad everyone had such a great time. I was at Disney last week with my family (not part of PC) and to be honest, there were several times I was ashamed to be part of PC with the way some people were acting in their PC shirts. I realize there are a lot of rude people out there and heat and crowds tend to bring out the worst in people but the bright red shirts saying Pampered Chef made some stand out. There were no excuse me's or thank you's. Several times members of my family were pushed out of the way by people in PC shirts. Hopefully in the future they will think twice about the way they act when wearing something that represents such a wonderful company.
 
Actually, there was a buffet at the back of Hollywood Studios that served rib eye steaks and shrimp! My son said it was awesome! I was so hungry by the time we got there that I settled for a hamburger at the very front! We thought the whole thing was amazing!!!!!!!!

yes, the buffet was in two locations and by the time we got there the wait for the buffet was 45 mins!
 
We saw the buffets but opted out just because of the wait time -- we wanted to do other things besides wait in the line! :) I ended up eating a chocolate shake on the run for supper -- it was very good, though! LOL....
