Ok, here's another solo question although it will take a bit to get to it...
I got married in Disney in 2/03. Leaving out the gory details, left said husband just about 2 weeks ago (very sudden, I found something out and he did some things which I never expected and to me they are unforgivable). I loved Disney long before he came along and I spend waaaaaaaay too much time on here and other Disney sites In short, Disney is an important part of my life.
I had originally planned a trip for January, which I had to cancel because of husband's car troubles - no $$$$ for a trip. I was planning a May trip just in case we'd be able to swing it - no reservations or anything, just in the dreaming stages. I had planned to get APs, drive, stay 12 nights, do SW, etc.
So now the May trip has become what I term a "Celebration Trip" - lol! I'm planning on taking my parents as a late Christmas (also, thank you for being supportive and being there) present; my dad is reluctant, my mom is definitely going. I ordered my very first AP today (will get their tickets later) as a Christmas/divorce present to myself.
$ is no longer an issue - most of the bills I had were really his (student loans, car repairs, etc., etc. the list goes on). I am living with my parents and will be saving for a house, so I can't go hog-wild unless I win the lottery, but I do anticipate at least 1 solo trip over the next year.
When I brought up the May trip, my mom asked me why I wanted to go back to WDW when I'd been with John so many times. I laughed and told her that just because I'd been to McDonald's with John didn't mean I'd never eat at a McDonald's again. I'm looking forward to sharing Disney with my parents (or just my mom) and experiencing WDW solo - those are 2 completely new experiences for me (unless you count going with my parents when I was 5 )
So my question is this - have you ever gone solo after something like this has happened - where most of your recent Disney memories have been made with someone who is no longer a part of your life? I anticipate having a good time and enjoying everything is a different way than before; I just wondered if anyone else had a similar experience? I know that everyone reacts differently to different situations, I just wondered if anyone could relate?
Any thoughts are welcome
