Travelocity has indicated they are aware of the situation, and (similar to what another poster mentioned might happen) they will be calling all folks effected <starting> in the next 1-2 hours. She gave NO, NADA, NAY indication of what that might be.

Here, we don't have anything official at all - just rumors, many of which are conflicting with one another. Completely different situation.

Here, some folks are specifically looking for a PR or some other direct public announcement. That didn't happen with Iceland, and I believe it will not happen here.

I have been charged for the adults but not the three kids. "Chad" with T. told me that I would get my tickets. So for now I am cautiously believing him; no other reason not to. I feel good at least that I didn't get the email saying that I wouldn't get my tickets. I'd feel better if all the tickets had been charged to the cc. I will wait until tomorrow to call. It's hard to believe that they lost all the kids' tickets, however. I think that must be their story until it all gets sorted through.
wishing you luck.

I pushed for any indication how it would go because I have work bugging me for a final decision NOW whether i'm going or not. They didn't budge. They added calls will go out as tickets were booked, which helps me even less since I'm one of the first to travel, but it seems not one of the first to book.
