So, I had a trip booked for January 2022, and I've decided to cancel. I've had a couple trips there during this pandemic, and honestly, looking back, I felt like I was spending most of the time making excuses for Disney. I'm certainly happy to wear a mask in my normal life and practice social distancing, but vacation is supposed to be an escape, and I'm afraid it wasn't. I was always worried that if I stopped to sip my drink that I would get yelled at. I made excuses for Disney in my head for rude cast members reminding myself that they were understaffed. I spent most of the vacation making excuses for Disney. But, why? This is supposed to be a vacation.
So, I've decided to vacation locally to places that I can easily drive to. To places that I don't have to make excuses for, and places that aren't under-staffed. I'm lucky to live within a couple hours drive to the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are endless places to get out in nature, amazing restaurants, and wonderful museums and attractions.
I've just come to the conclusion that maybe I just need a vacation.... from Disney.
