I have only two speeds, it seems:
1. All
2. Nothing
I can super relate to that! Not so much in Disney, but here at home.
<3 It's been a hard time to DIS the way I used to, and I'm sure others are in the same boat. It's really too bad. For me it's been a combination of things, mostly the ones you suggest above. I also originally got into the DIS when I was working an office job that gave me more downtime, both during my days occasionally, and in the evenings. Now I feel like the "busy-ness" of my new job has taken the reins. For a while there, the DIS was also starting to feel more like work than fun to keep up with things, always trying not to be too far behind, etc., even though I love my friends and hearing about their lives/trips/stories. And hard to think about Disney when trips aren't in the picture for us right now, due to covid-related things and not being in the same financial place, etc., etc. But I'm reaching a point now where it's starting to feel good to get back from time to time again when I have a few spare minutes, and that's a nice feeling
I can 100% relate to and understand ALL of that. When I first came on in 2008 I had a lot of spare time and it was my escape. Now, I have so little time with my job and when I do get off or home, I am simply wiped out and have no more to give. But, I still love to write and share my photos and that does keep my here and going. I've made some truly wonderful friends through the platform and wouldn't trade that for anything!
This is so true! I'd definitely agree. It's a pressure cooker for some of the best possible moments and also for some of those challenges to really escalate.
I generally saw really happy, well-behaved people this trip last week. Only one incidence of an adult yelling at the kids, but generally it was a lot of positive energy and celebration.
Right?! Especially in a resort that caters to a lot of families with young kids.
Yes!
Will do! I'll keep you posted.
Thanks!! I wouldn't want to miss it!
Sounds like the pickiness and the intolerances were definitely both at play. It's wonderful that Disney continued to accommodate the way I would expect them too, though.
It was wonderful. There are a lot of choices and ways to work around both and that was certainly helpful!
You're a better woman than I! Sometimes my salty inner dialogue becomes outer dialogue when I get too sleepy
OH I am no saint and have certainly had my fair share of "leakages".
Now I need to watch that movie!
Oh nooo! Poor Marcia. Me too, girl, me too. I've tried it twice and have now resigned myself to the fact that I just cannot. Shame that Marcia had so much trouble with it as well since it truly is an amazing ride.
It was a shame and such a bummer that not only could she not get to really enjoy it, but that it made her so sick too. I think she enjoyed Pandora well enough but after getting sick first thing I think it tainted the rest of her day and experience.
...ok, wow. Maybe she just never really recovered after FOP I guess, but I'm a huge motion-sick-type and I find Navi suuuuuper gentle and tame. Marcia really had a rough go with rides, it seems!
I think that was it. She just never recovered, but having said that, she said that the moving walkways getting off the dark rides made her vertigo act up. Which seems REALLY extreme to me.
Soo cute! I've felt the urge to bring a monkey home several times at AK. I've heard they make very poor house guests though.
Did you hear about that guy who brought one into MK last week?!?! I felt sooooo bad for the monkey! I thought it was a joke, but it wasn't! I heard the CMs talking about it as I was exiting the park and it turned out to be true!! He had it in a backpack. OMG, can you imagine how hot and horrible it must have been for that poor creature? What is wrong with people?!
Oh wow! I never knew this. I love it! I've seen this Mickey before but I didn't know what the word meant. So clever!
Very clever for sure! I learn stuff like that all the time at Disney. Love stuff like that!
