Called back and had the most absolutely lovely CM and a lovely chat that put me in the Disney mood. Booked the 5 I wanted. YAY. One more thing taken care of!!! $94.40 booked in advance for sea and port days - I won't use it on embarkation day or on CC day... vs $169.92 for the week pass. I know it won't come with scrubs but I am not interested in those anyway. Even if I don't use a day it will still be less than the week pass.
Moral of the story is if someone at Disney doesn't know what they are doing, try again! Obviously it was no problem booking the amount I wanted.
