Okay, lets take a different look at your scenario. You have saved three years and were planning on driving 1200 miles to visit WDW. You were staying four nights and this trip was it.....your once in a lifetime. You planned and you researched. You spent hours with yor kids as you planned each aspect of your trip, not the least of which was the resort you wanted to stay in. 5 days before you were hopping in the car you get the call......no room at the Inn. You can stay at a different resort but it is not what you and your family wanted.....but take it or leave it.
You then go to your friendly message board....the place where you already had spent hours discussig DIsney......and tell the folks there how disappointed you were that you got this curve ball. You also ask for advice how to handle it. Would you like it when you get told you are whining?
None of us know this OP's circumstances not should we. We are all entitled to be upset when out plans change through no fault of our own. We are all entitled to discuss those feelings here adn not be ridiculed or be made to fee guilty that we saved for this vacation and now what what we reserved.
We know the fine print. We know the rules. That does not make any of us whiners if we lose the lottery and get that call that changes our plans.
On one of our family trips our flight got changed at the last minute swiping most of our last day with that change. Delta was withing their agreemnent but that did not change my feelings nor did that agreement stop me from discussing the change that they gave us with a manager. It was not acceptable to me, no matter how lucky my family was to be able to afford a plane ticket. The final offer was not what I would have liked but it was better than losing an entire day. That was the ast time I booked a flight with Delta unless no other carrier would fit my schedule or destination. The change I would have accepted. The attitude that I got from them I would not so I spend my money anywhere else if at all possible.
Exactly.
Nothing wrong with being disappointed. I mean we plan these vacations months in advance because we basically have to ... to get the resort of our choice. And then to think it doesn't matter that you planned in advance because you can't have the resort you thought you were getting. I see nothing wrong with being disppointed about that. I never got the impression that the OP was whining. Venting maybe but not whining.
