DIS-Con starts 11 weeks from today!

[NancyIL]

I know we're all in shock after yesterday's tragic events. I'm hoping that this reminder of something very pleasant in the not-too-distant future will lift your spirits a little. We'll be together then!

After the OKC bombing, I spent four days straight watching the 24 hour round coverage. Couldn't sleep and found it very difficult to resume regular activity.

This diversion for me is greatly welcome, though now my children are asking hypothetical situations that connect our WDW trip and this terrorists act

Any more of you out there having any simular things from your kids?

The TV told that Disneyland was closed so that's where this is coming from.

Gerri: My kids, down here, are deeply touched by the news. DS, 11, called me yesterday from school. They are worried with their grandmas, who are visiting my sister in the Seattle area. They (grandmas) are now in Vancouver, Canada. We talked to them yesterday.

As much as I hate the thought of flying so soon after this terrible event, I wish it was sooner. I feel a deep need to see and hug all of you. The DIS has been a great comfort and a welcome diversion to this horror. Can't wait to see you all. (I wish I could stop crying)

Yesterday I could not even look at my disney plans, I only went to the community board while I was at work because we could not get into any new websites and did not have a TV, so most of the info I got was from this website. Once I was home I could not keep myself away from the TV. Disney is usually my escape from "real life" but yesterday I felt compelled to not escape. Today though I feel the need to look forward to something, even though it means flying, but now I am glad we are having this convention with all these caring people.
I think trying to get back to "normal" even our obsession with Disney is healthy.
Last week 12 weeks seemed so close, now 11 weeks with all that has happened, seems so far away

I purposely left this board alone yesterday, mostly because I was glued to the television, and Disney seemed so trivial. But then I remembered that while this board is Disney-related, it's really about supporting each other in times of need as well. All you have to do is look at the Community Board and you'll see how this horrible tragedy has affected all of us.

God bless all of us, and God bless America.

And {{{hugs}}} to all of you.

I left this board alone yesterday, with the exception of Pat's thread, just out of respect.

I, too, was glued to the news coverage. I was so shocked and couldn't get enough info.

Today I feel 'glum'

Flags are flying at half mast and everyone is quiet. Kind of eery, but kind of nice.

I appreciate the way Americans (at least around here) are taking the calm and collected (aka CIVIL) approach to this tragedy. I'm proud to be an American.....

With all of that said, I am very happy that the sun came up and the clocks kept ticking.....life must go on. I agree with Helen about 12 weeks seeming so close, and now 11 weeks seeming so far.

I look forward to giving you all a very BIG {{{hug}}}.

 

[fostrmom2mny]

The hug meet that was suggested is now an absolute necessity! We don't need to schedule it, cause we'll all feel it when we meet for the first times.

BTW, could someone help add the flag to my signature? Thank you so very much.

 

[Patinmn]

I look forward to a big group hug also

I haven't been to this board yesterday. But I have been reading (and posting) on the CB. This is so horrible, I don't know what to say......

I think I will be so scared to get on the plane, but I will come!
I look forward to seeing all of you.

 

[bashful64]

{{{HUGS}}} to all. I look forward to seeing you all in 11weeks.
