So before I jump into my pre-trip I'll do the basic introduction of myself.
That's me now. I'm Becky. I'm 26 and as it turns out (through talking with my parents last night) have 10 trips to Walt Disney World under my belt. Of course to many of you that's not a big deal because y'all share the love and joy for the place that I do. Well in fact many of you kick my butt in the total number of visits.
Anyways, let's see if I can describe myself. I've been around the boards for a really long time. I used to be pretty witchy! (Hey! I'm not gonna lie!) That is when I was dating my ex and after he broke up with me. We dated for 5.5 years and he broke up with me 3 days after my 25th birthday. We won't get into much details about that but he was a very cynical person so I kinda turned into one too. I know... it's a shame.
Well, a little over a year ago I started my assistant managers position at a clothing store called Deb. Once there I developed a second family and amazing friends. I eventually moved in with one of the girls and we have an amazing 1000 sq ft apartment in this little village in western New York. Since I started my job and found out there are great people out there I opened myself up and started making friends left and right! My life pretty much revolves around my friends. I became a "bar chick" a little over a month ago. NOT IN THE BAD SENSE! Give me a lil credit! I reconnected with some old high school pals (who happen to be guys) and they like to go to the bars to "attempt" to pick up chicks. Though it never works. And yes, guys attempt to pick me up and it doesn't work! I don't usually drink when I'm out either, I go for the social environment. The bar I go to is more like the bar in Cheers anyways because everyone knows your name. Anyways... my friends who surround me I feel very close too...
Since the beginning of the year I have gone through some bad times... but mostly all the good times have made up for all that. As I stated I have reconnected with old friends and made a lot of new ones. I've also developed my friendship with my ex (we've actually always remained friends, but there has been major downs with it... which we won't get into).
For the most part I'm overly outgoing, a bit wild, and a bit crazy. I can be a hothead... though I get over it really fast. I also slump into minor depressive states fairly easily because of things that have happened in my past (for example my sister was killed in 2000 and tomorrow would have been her 24th birthday...). Usually though if either bad emotion comes into my life I have a couple of amazing friends who can easily get me out of them.
So anyways, blah blah blah... now that you know my life story... here's some more:
My last trip to WDW was last year in November. My solo trip is planned for exactly 1 year later. Yes, I did that intentionally. I went with my ex (we were not dating at the time) and had an amazing time. In fact, it was the best time I have ever had in my life! I wanted to back immediately. So talking about it with my family my dad would show his "distaste" about me wanting to go back so soon since I just went. And I knew I just went and I also have an amazing(ly expensive) apartment that I have to pay for also. So I put aside going to Disney World for this year (might I add I plan to move to Florida next year).
Well after the introduction of the changes to the Magic Kingdom and Star Tours I played with the idea of going again. But again back burnered it. Until I saw the 4 + 3 offer once again. So I posted on my Facebook how I wanted to go. And of course so does everyone else! But my best friend is only 19 and goes to college. So for her to take the time off is impossible. I offered it up to several other friends who one wouldn't have her vacation time in November (her calender ends in October) and others didn't have the money or couldn't get time off also.
I also offered it up to my ex. He had made several comments to me this year about going. In fact towards summer he even offered to pay for me to go with him (I couldn't get the time off). Well he just got back from vacation like a month ago... so he was pretty much outta the question.
And then there was my mom. She said she would love to go but this time of the year wasn't good for her.
So... I lingered over the idea of going by myself. And then... JetBlue (my favorite airline) dropped their ticket prices! It was a sign! I was destined to go! So all I had to do was tell my dad I wanted to go... and hope he wasn't mad at me. (I know what y'all are thinking... I'm an adult, but I also don't wanna be at war with my family esp going into the holidays.) I posted on here asking about solo trips and pretty much was sold on the idea. Well they more or less made me feel better about going.
Well, I had to work on telling my dad. So I worked on a presentation for him (yes I know) and told him briefly on the phone that I wanted to go. He said when I came home the next day we would talk about it. So the next day (yesterday) I went home. I presented it to him and he says "I wish you had someone to go with, I'd send your mother but it's not a good time of the year... but if you think you will be ok by yourself, I want you to go!" I was shocked! Maybe I shoulda told him I wanted to buy a $45,000 car too!
All I had to do was book the trip...
