    Oh bless your heart, I’ve only just found you by searching up travel day videos as I’m going in June with my Daughter. But bless you, seeing you cry I could just see your disappointment & mummy guilt. I know it’s easier said than done but you have nothing to feel bad about, your kids will learn that these things sadly happen. You are still giving them a holiday of a lifetime, which is the only thing they will remember!!! 🫶🏼🧡🧡🧡

    You’ve done yourself and family very proud, from a really awful upsetting experience you turned it around by being polite and courteous and obviously aer lingus recognised that and rewarded you and maybe more than you expected. You have a lovely family and never change . Being polite is nice and costs nothing 👍 best wishes from sunny Watford lol

    Thats why you are kind to staff. It's not their fault they just work there. I don't work in travel I work in grocery. I'm much more likely to see what I can do to try and help someone if they aren't shouting at me. Being kind goes a long long way.

      Thank you I think a lot of people was sobbing at it. To be honest it was a really sad moment for us and the reality of losing two Park days. I really wanted this video to be upbeat and really exciting but it ended up being the complete opposite but I suppose it’s good to have a mixture on RUclips as well as I’ve never seen a video like this where peoples dream travel day has folded up and come to be a disaster!!
      But Luckily we have put it behind us and we’ve had a fantastic week in the park. I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos. It was a truly magical week ♥️

      Plus they got reasonable compensation. I think they were helped because of the children. Disney can only help your flight wise if you arranged a package with them. But to get compensated for the two days stay is good. Your meals and transportation being covered is great. It’s a nice hotel with a pool. In addition, she handled herself respectfully which made them more inclined to assist them. If you read the fine print on your travel agreement they can cancel flights for extenuating circumstances. Who wants to fly on a defective plane? 😊

    So heartbreaking 💔 this shouldn’t be allowed to happen. There should be a contingency plan. Waiting 2 days is unacceptable. No amount of money can compensate losing 2 days of a holiday. Sorry! My opinion. Thank goodness you got on your way and I hope it was the best week ❤

    The flight being cancelled is just the worst, I’m so sorry guys, as a mother, seeing those disappointed lil faces is so hard isn’t it!
    When a holiday costs as much as Disney does, it’s heartbreaking loosing those park days :(

    Just goes to show it pays to be nice. Our flights from New York to the UK on Air France were cancelled and delayed by 2 or 3 days. This was back in 2014. After to and froing for compensation was offered three free return flights to Boston with Air France for the following year. I moved to the US in 2016 and now a US citizen actually living in Florida. Did visit the UK in September on the same aer Lingus route, thankfully no delays!

      The sheet of paint What you probably got as well just cause you were contact number to rebook your flight, however like most people in the airport there is no reception to ring anybody so you’re frantically trying to call to rebook the closest flight.
      But I simply couldn’t get in touch and ended up having to go to a flight two days later, but are so lucky. I booked direct with Disney as they was amazing.

    If the aer lingus staff did something exceptional for you that they “shouldn’t really be doing”, probably not best you advertise it on here, you’d be surprised what people in HR and other departments watch. Wouldn’t be hard for them to find out which staff member authorised it, and for an expensive 2 night hotel stay plus 3 meals a day for 5… could get them into a lot of trouble. Just sayin’

      The hotel stay is nothing exceptional, as they weren't rebooked the same day the airline has a duty of care. There is no "secret" to spill, no one is going to get into trouble. The fact this airline encouraged passengers to go home, and they did, shows how most passengers don't know their rights, or choose, to return home. The airline did nothing special, in fact it saved a small fortune.
