That's too bad. We love SWA because they have no extra fees and excellent customer service.

DITTO!!! BBB is really expensive. You can have just as much fun without all the "extras". Look at everything you have booked and see what you can shave off.

Re: I need advise~ what would you do?

Maybe get another part time job, just long enough to pay the balance and any extra money you may need on the trip. Since your hours were cut, you should have time to, get another part time work somewhere else. Perhaps working in retail somewhere for a short while, like a coffee shop or a clothing store. Just a thought!

Re: I need advise~ what would you do?

Ok everyone....I've been thinking and found out some ok news..the hours cut will be temp for 2 weeks which is ok I guess. I called disney and they said they will extend my pay in full date for 2 weeks. I was just stressing about getting them paid off by the eon of the month in july. Now...yes the dog is ok pam&rich. Thanks for asking
Jojo the extras I wasn't worried about. I would have rec 3 extra paychecks PLUS my side business. It was just the july 28th deadline I was worried about. I actually canceled the limo.

I'm only planning on tking $500 down to spend.
I have the DDP so that's covered. The gift basket I can slap on my credit card and BBB is being paid by both my DH and I. He doesn't pay for my disney trips but since its madisons bday he will give me some money to take.

I was really worried about the july deadline but think ill be okay if I can just keep doing what I'm doing. If not worst case ill cancel a few days off to make it even out so I won't have to pay the rest.


Thanks all for all your advise

Oh..mickeysgirlz...I love the option to make small payments. I do it all the time. Gotta love it

Re: I need advise~ what would you do?

Glad to hear you've got things worked out. Fortunately you've got a long enough trip planned that even if you do need to cut a couple of days off, you'll still have plenty of days left for a wonderful trip for Madison's b-day!

I don't know if you read all my post on this. I posted for advise before I got the call fro my boss that its a temp thing with my hours. I was able to figure things out when I was advised I won't be having my hours cut no more than 2 weeks which is a good thing.

I think I am not the only one who's a little put off by your drama. First of all, how come the dog has heart worm, they make heartworm pills for that. Feed those to the dog and you'll save $ 1200.00.
But in the end "the dog is alright",
drama drama drama

What am I thankful for today? The EASY button and I am going to use it

I actually did. It seems in many of your post you seem to overreact.

Re: I need advise~ what would you do?

I was a little concerned about the heartworm bit myself. Honestly, its a very serious condition, and it could kill your dog. Thats why prevention is the key. The heartworm pills are easy to give, they even make them in a chewable form, you just need to do it once a month. Very easy fix!

Re: I need advise~ what would you do?

Glad to hear things will work out ok for you guys. You had every right to be stressed out about it. Sadly money is what makes the world go round. I'd have been pretty stressed out too. After all, planning this wonderful vacation and then finding out suddenly that the money you've been expecting to make is lessened can be hard to hear. That and everyone handles stress differently. Well have fun on your trip for sure!
