Help me with this Thank you

[naeljun]

A friend of mine from HS works at Disney. He is an imagineer (engineer) and also manager of the day sometimes at the Magic Kingdom park.

Last March, I was there for work and my sister and friend flew down and we extended the weekend and the plan was to go to Epcot. It just so happened that my friend was MOD that day at MK and told me to come there first and he would get the three of us in for free with a park hopper so we could do both parks. He totally didn't have to, we didn't ask, he offered. He also gave us fast passes to use at any time.

My friend, sister, and I kept saying we were going to send him a thank you for letting us use his pass and not have to pay. We never did. Or so I thought. I went there in May with my mom and daughter and I reached out to him just to meet up and say hi (we had already purchased all of our tickets with our package and my mom is disabled so we have the pass we can use to jump all the lines, so I wasn't looking for anything from him.) I never heard from him. I am going back in December with just DD and I sent him a message asking him if we could meet up on Friday night and gave him our itinaray in case he wanted to join us in the parks or anything. I haven't heard back from him.

So, I was talking to my friend about this and she said to me that she sent him a thank you gift in April and didn't sign my name to it. I was sort of taken aback because we were all supposed to send him something together. Now I feel like an ass. I am assuming this is why he isn't getting back to me as well.

I bought him a gc to Pottery Barn today (he just built a house) and I want to send it to him and I want to thank him for getting my sister and I in for free and apologize it is so late. I am planning on lying a bit and saying I thought our friend signed my name to the gift she sent.

so help me write this thank you. I don't want to just say "hey, thanks for getting us in for free" cause I don't like the way it sounds.

thanks

Uh. I would be like "my friend and I just want to thank you again for your generosity in march". The AGAIN makes it sound like you did thank him before.

I don't know. I wouldn't assume he hasn't responded to you because he didn't get a specific thank you from you. Guys are much less concerned about that stuff and your friend did send him something so he has been thanked.

Since you've contacted him twice and he hasn't responded, I think it may be a little weird/aggressive to send him a gift.

If he wasn't gay, I would agree with you. as would if she signed my name to it. I already bought a gift for him and it isn't anything I would use so.....

I said, thank you for your generosity and I truly apologize it took me so long to get this to you.
