Would You Like to Attend an Illuminations Dessert Party 1/28? UPDATED WITH FINAL INFO

[Puffy2]

akasleepingbeauty, has everyone paid or are we still waiting to hear from a couple?

Looking forward to it.

Puffy2,

We still have 2 groups (total 4 people) left to pay. I have heard from one but not the other but I am sure all will be taken care of soon.

I do have something I would like to "discuss" with everyone. When looking over the contract, Robert and I noticed that it was written for 25 instead of 24. So, Trina adjusted our price and it lowered the grand total by $28.76 (about $1.20 per person). I am willing to send this money back to everyone but first wanted to mention something and see how everyone feels about it.

I have a "premium" account with paypal but VERY seldom use it to receive money - I usually just use it to pay for things on ebay. I did not realize that at some point Paypal starting charging all premium users to receive monies of any origin (I thought there was a charge only for money from credit cards). So, when I realized I was being charged (2.9% + 30 cents per transaction) I just figured I would "eat" the cost (about $25.50 total) since it was my error. However, now that this "adjustment' has come up I was wondering how everyone would feel if I left the adjustment as is to cover this loss. If everyone is not okay with it, I will be more than happy to refund the money to everyone as it is not worth making anyone uncomfortable.

Please let me know how you feel and I will go from there.

Thanks everyone for your help in getting this all together and I can't wait to meet all of you next week!

ditto: please keep it to cover expenses.

I have a question about paypal - since I signed up with only cc info and not a bank account info I am considered "unverified" and they said I would only be able to send money a certain number of times or up to a certain cap or something like that.

Do you know what they are talking about? I'm not about to give them my bank account information - too risky.

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

Puffy2,

You have a sending limit of $2000 as an unverified account holder. I understand not wanting to share your bank account information - that is certainly a personal choice you have to make. Unless you are attending a LOT of dessert parties I doubt you'll soon exceed the limit so you should be fine for now.



We only have one group left to pay and it is not for lack of effort - she has had a very difficult time trying to get set up with paypal but is trying her best.

Final paperwork all goes in today - yay!!!!

Only a few more days - it should be an evening to remember,

Gosh I hope you guys have a wonderful time. We'll be there at Epcot that night but hubby just couldn't justify the cost of having desserts (which I don't eat much of) for $31 each. BOO HOO!!

 

[Puffy2]

Bump in case anyone else wants to join us: time is running out!

 

[akasleepingbeauty]

Does anyone still need info on when/where to meet? Hopefully I have provided this information to everyone but if you still need it please let me know!!

We are leaving Saturday but if anyone needs to reach me you can send me an email or PM as we will have access to the internet during our trip.

Safe travels to you all!

 

[Bill & Deb]

We hope you all have great time. wish we could have been there.

We wish you all a great time. Let us know how it turned out. I would like to consider it for our next trip.
