We were supposed to go to Great Wolf Lodge for today and tomorrow, but that didn’t work out as planned. Yesterday I went to do the early check-in, which I had expected to do online, but the instructions were for phones only. \ud83d\ude41 Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about using smart phones for these kinds of things. It’s not just that the technology befuddles me somewhat, but also because I don’t want my whole life dependent on that one piece of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I went to the website to sign into my account and look for a way to check-in online. That’s when I discovered a startling bit of news: half the water park is closed for renovations. I had not been told about that when I made my reservation. How could they not tell me? And how could they expect me to pay full price for half a park? Not cool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So I called them up and asked them to move my reservation. They tried to tell me the new date would be more expensive, but when I refused to accept the higher price, the representative pulled a promotional code out of her a$$ that magically made it cheaper instead. Really? Everywhere I turn, I find a business asking for a lot more money than they’re willing to accept, just to see if I’ll go for it. Corporate greed is everywhere. Never accept the first price you’re offered on anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So now I have a whole day to fill. Since the kids won’t be skipping school tomorrow, I guess I’d better do my usual Sunday tasks, including laundry. How boring! But I suppose it’s better than being on vacation and being disappointed by it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
