A Commando Resigns

[luvdsny]

Hello Fellow DIS'ers.

I'm sorry to say that I have decided to cancel our trip to DIS-Con this year.

It's really important to me that you know a few things.....

1) I am not saying, "you win" to the terrorists! I am not afraid to fly, and I am not afraid to leave my home.

2) I feel the need to cancel because of my family's uncertain financial future. With our ecomony on the slide, my DH's job is never secure. It doesn't make sense to me for our family to be spending so lavishly right now.

3) We are going to donate the hotel package part of our trip to The Red Cross. My DH's company will match it 100%, so this will make for a nice contribution. I really feel the need to help more! There is little I can do from here, but I can give blood and money.

4) I am soooooo sorry that I won't be able to meet all of you.......you are some of my favorite people in the whole wide world! I'm especially going to miss the 'hug fest' Please pass a {{{hug}}} from me to each of you.

Thanks for your understanding and for your support.

Oh, Tia! I am so sorry that you have decided to cancel! I understand your reasons for doing so. I was looking so forward to meeting you! {{HUGS}} to you!

 

[disneycub]

WAAAAAAAAAAAH! Of course we understand Tia. How could we not? I'm sure that we'll meet sometime real soon. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} to you and your family.

 

[Barb]

You already know how I feel. I'm sure going to miss you.

 

[NancyIL]

You will certainly be missed, Tia but I completely understand your reasoning. Hopefully you'll be at DIS-Con 2002.

 

[BelleMom]

Tia, I am so sorry! I understand you, though.

I don't blame anyone for canceling a trip. We are really living under uncertain times. I hope they don't last long and that we will be able to have fun together sometime.

 

[Snowwark]

I'm sorry you are cancelling Tia, and of course I understand your reasons for doing so.

I know that we will get to meet someday.

A big {{{{{{{{ HUG}}}}}}}} to you!!

Thank You All For Such Warm {{{hugs}}}

I am going to miss you all so much.

I'm definitely planning on 2002 though!

Next time I won't be so darn loud about it though because it makes it harder to back out!

Since this was my 5000th post, I think this would be a good time to say "good night" and "have a wonderful weekend"



{{{hugs}}}

Tia,

I am sorry to hear this, but totally understand. I don't think we will know if we are going or not until right before it is time for us to leave.

I will miss you.

Now who will sit with me on Dumbo?

Tia, it is perfectly understandable for you to look at the bigger picture and your families financial well being. So sorry I won't get to meet you. But there is next year, and Disney will be there and wait for you.

(Congratulations on your 5000 post!!!! WOW!)

Tia, I'm so sorry I won't be meeting you at DIS-CON this year, but I most certainly understand your decision, and I applaud you for being strong enough to make such a difficult decision. Tou will most certainly be missed by all who have been reading this board.
BTW, congrats on your 500th post!

 

[Sandra B.]

Tia, I'm so sorry you are cancelling. We'll miss you!
I hope to see you at DIS-CON 2002

 

[Patrick IL.]

Tia. I am sorry to hear this You reasons are certainly understandable, I shall look forward to meeting you another time.

 

[dvc_bwv]

I'm so sorry you won't be there, but I understand completely. We may have also changed our minds had our situation been different. We'll all miss you very much. I so looked forward to meeting you, but then again....there's always next year! I'm sure I speak for many when I say You will be in our thoughts.

Congrats on your 5000th post!

 

[fostrmom2mny]

Tia, ((((HUGS))))) I will miss meeting you! But know that of course I understand.
You've helped move DIS CON and it's commandos well on the way. You'll be with us in spirit if not in body.

The giving sacrifice you have designated for the Red Cross and the victims of the terrorist attack is such an unselfish act.

God Bless you.
Gerri

Also, congrads on your 5000 post

{{{Hugs}}} to you. What an honorable thing to do by donating the hotel portion of your package to charity.

 

[luvdsny]

Thanks you guys. You're making me sad again.

Barry, if you promise to wear your pants I'm sure anyone would be happy to sit with you on Dumbo.

I had a nice weekend and I hope you all did too!

Guess what my mom did to help make me feel better.....she called WDW to make sure they weren't very busy (duh!) and then she said, well you could always change your mind later. She knows that I can't get a refund on my plane tickets, so I've left those until the last minute....doesn't matter if I cancel now or later, I still get docked $100/ticket. I don't really want to think this way, but it does soften the blow a little knowing that if I really just couldn't stand it any longer and I just had to to, I could. I wouldn't be able to do any of the convention events, but correct me if I'm wrong, the {{{hug fest}}} was open to anyone, right? Well this is just to take the sting out of the wound, I'm sure I'll be right here at my pc from Nov. 28th through Dec. 2nd, wearing my Mickey Santa hat and my DIS t-shirt, typing in {{{hugs}}} to you guys in WDW.

Thanks again for your support~~~You guys are truely FIRST CLASS!

Have A Very Nice Week Everyone.

Tia
