I have been waiting to see if they would offer a *GT rate for our sailing and it popped up on Wednesday!!! I had just checked about an hour before but nada and then I had this feeling, so I checked again and VOILA!!! There it was!![](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thesmilies.com%2Fsmilies%2Fjumping%2Fjumping0047.gif&hash=69ecc9fb41527d7ae0f1a64efd4c2f6b)
The rate was decent. It was a VGT for the same price as a 7A just over a year ago. Yes, I've been tracking prices
So, about $3500 for the three of us.
Not the best rate and certainly not as good as the October VGT offers but hey, I was NOT complaining and I booked that sucker right away!!![yes ::yes:: ::yes::](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/yes.gif)
I was just thrilled to be ON the ship and now we will be getting a verandah!! It's kinda weird not being able to choose your stateroom, or even your deck but it's also kinda exciting![](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fsmiley-basic%2Fbop.gif&hash=3f012290512616579aca9a36d0be1600)
Even if it's one of the crappy verandahs, I will still be happy

So, I was able to do my online check-in right away, obviously
The earliest PAT was 12:30pm which is much later than we would like but no biggie.
The only thing I had wanted to make a ressie for was BBB for Pirate Night for Kira but they only had morning appointments left and we will be at the beach then. I had planned on going to BBB first thing when we get on board to see if they had any more openings but with a later boarding time, I didn't think I would get one.
Then, yesterday I was lurking in my ressie and saw that DCL had changed their PAT's to 15 minute increments and started at 10:30am instead of 11 so I scored us a 10:30 PAT![Title :dance3: :dance3:](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/dance.gif)
We will be leaving Coronado Springs Resort much earlier now![Title :rolleyes2 :rolleyes2](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
I kinda wish we were staying at the port now like we usually do so we didn't have that big drive in the morning![yes ::yes:: ::yes::](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/yes.gif)
Not sure if they will have any ressies left for Pirate Night BBB but at least now I will have a chance at getting one if they do![Title :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2](http://www.wdwinfo.com/images/smilies/thumbsup2.gif)
So, I was on a huge high with the whole PAT thing when an email popped up and caught me by surprise....
It was an email from DCL saying I am getting a refund of $440!!!

I guess they adjusted their VGT rates because I went online and checked and now they had IGT's, OGT's and VGT's!!! And the VGT's were cheaper than what we paid!![](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.millan.net%2Fminimations%2Fsmileys%2Ffiesta.gif&hash=8862185eac84f7fd9481c58503c25a88)
