Received party pack

I received my party pack yesterday and I'm pretty disappointed in the contents actually. Plus my box was almost demolished...sign was broken and I'm not sure if anythign fell out of the box. It looks like I have everything on the list except NO OBC and I can't figure out what the 'special host gift' is. Anyway...looks like I'm going to be buying gifts...only 2 of my guests are children and there really aren't any nice things in there for the adults. Has anyone had a chance to watch the dvd?

The hostess gift is a blue box (took up about 1/3 of my big box) and it has a special trading pin, luggage tags and an Alaska Totem pole.

party pack

AH...thanks...I assumed it was something in addition to the things listed specifically in the original email. The totem was broken in half and the luggage tags are missing (I looked 5 times and my husband went through everything twice too). Oh well. Disappointing.

I'm sorry to hear that your package was destroyed. If I were you contact (call) DCHP and let them know what happened. They should be able to send another within 1-2 days.

If they don't you should still get credit or whatever that you did have the party.

Don't contact DCL as they don't have anything to do with sending the party packages. You have to deal directly with Disney Cruise Line House Party people.

That blue box? ? ? I called a Cruise line shopping bag didn't know it was a box because it was so thin. The only "box" was the one the totem pole was in.

Do contact HP about your demolished package
help@houseparty.com

Toll free: 888-591-1678 x2061

Mine is STUCK. Fedex has it in Miami on 11/2, and nothing after that. HP said if they couldnt' get Fedex to finish the delivery before Mon, they'd send a new one. Cutting it kinda close, but at least HP does seem to be on top of things. I also asked about the tokens issue, with some folks receiving 0 and some 70 and she said they are aware & are trying to come up with a plan to remedy the problem. It completely negates the whole random chance of someone winning a cruise when one party has 70 chances.

I'm trying to decide what to put where. Can anyone tell me how big the totem pole is, and if you received a banner, how long is that?
Thanks.

Well, no delivery today either. And both HP and Fedex seem rather casual about the whole thing at this point. It is frustrating. Fedex can tell me it has been in Miami since 11/2, and remains there, but there is no way to know when it may leave there - which is ridiculous

Disney Cruise Party box

I am so confused about these tokens. Why did they make it so complicated? I got about 10 packages and there are about five token cards in each package. I am not sure how to explain these to my guests. My box was OK and the totem pole was not what I expected but it is very nice. I do not see anything about OBC. I am excited about the party .

Sounds like you received extra tokens. If I understand correctly, open the packages and give each adult guest one. They go online and enter that code to win. From there they can email up to 20 friends info about Disney cruising. Each friend that enters gives the originally guest an extra chance at winning the cruise.

Basically, you got other people's tokens. Everyone was supposed to receive 15. Some got none. Some got many, many more. They weren't distributed correctly.

The OBC was apparently on last year's HP list and was originally listed as part of the party pack for this year, but the list has changed & no longer includes an OBC.

At least you have something . I am feeling anxious about it & wondering what I'll do if I don't receive the pack at all. Neither Fedex nor HP can assure me that I'll receive one. Ugh.

Wow Sorry everyone is having such a rough time with their Party Packs! I got mine around Monday or Tuesday and Had everything mentioned on the list. It was exciting for me since this was a Free Event and I was lucky to be picked so I guess I was lucky to get everything in one piece.

We have a nice group put together and have a very special party planned for our group and I can't wait. Even if the prizes or items aren't spectacular, they were free and I can see good friends and enjoy an nice day/evening.

I hope everyone else can make the most of what they do get and have a great party as well!
