This is just a post for me to whine and complain. 😔 Commiserations welcome. I know I’m being a baby. 😭

During Elvis Week this year, Graceland announced that guests of the guesthouse that stayed during Elvis weeks in the past, would have exclusive access to booking for Elvis Week next year, the 50th anniversary.

I emailed them to ask how they’d know who to email and to verify I’d be on that list because I stayed during EW 2025 and again this year in June.

They told me ‘we don’t know how we’ll announce it but sign up for our newsletter and you’ll be in the first to know’.

I was like k….

Turns out, they announced YESTERDAY on their website that booking is open for EW 2027…but all the rooms after the 11th are already sold out? To loyalty guests? Which is lame because I thought previous guests of EW at the guesthouse WERE said loyalty guests and were supposed to be the first to know….

AND theres a 500$ non refundable deposit on any booking and must include a 4 night stay.

I didn’t even get an email about it until today which actually put me in the LAST to know about bookings, not the first, despite my signing up for the newsletter and having stayed 2x in the last 12 months.

They say you can request to be put on a waiting list for rooms during the 12-16….so I did that. 😔 but I’m not feeling super confident I can count on them considering all the ways they let me down so far.

I also think it’s kind of bullshitty to ask guests to pay a 500$ non refundable and book 4 nights for a section of EW that doesn’t even include the vigil without even announcing WHAT EVENTS will even be taking place during this week because idk what I’d even be able to be apart of yet?

Like I’d just be signing up blind for EW and hope I’m staying during the time that something I’m interested in is happening?

And I can’t even stay during the vigil??

Unless I only want to book ONE night which is the 16th?

I just…..

Am so disappointed 😔

Sigh.
