with them working on reservations do you think maybe that there could have been some mistakes about reservations and resorts being full at xmas week? i have been trying to book a campsite for weeks but they say they are full. boy i have been trying everyday, to see if anyone has canceled. i did sort of luck out and they had a cancellation on a couple cabins but i really didn't think we could swing another cabin, but booked with the hopes of getting a tent site. wish me luck, boy i wish we could have gone down another week but with the girls in college high school and jr high that was the only week everyone was off toghether boy they are reall streching my budget. the lady was funny for gran gatherings, she said you can keep trying but we usually don't have any cancellations for that week, i tried to get AAA discount but as everyone knows not during holidays, so then she says can i make some dinner reservations for you I just laughed i said no at the prices of the rooms we won't be able to afford to eat. LOl oh well we will cook at cabins that is why we oringaly picked to stay there. sorry just rambling littlebitt

No, I don't think they were mistaken about resorts being filled. That is the single busiest time of the year.


There is more to the article about the why's of the maintenance. Let me see if I can edit enough of the TA stuff out to repost it and not get in trouble but still have it make sense. Basically it's a system upgrade. All companies do them occasionally, and my dh's company actually schedules one weekend a month to have their servers down while they keep them up to date, so it's nothing that's wrong with the systems, think of it more like buying a new pair of shoes that fit better.


Oh goody! I don't have to edit anything out of the 'why' section!!! I hate editing!
