First Time Visit Just Days Away

[Snickers0782]

So this week at work has been really hard for me. My partner and I are leaving Central, NY on Sunday evening, the 19th, and starting our trip (driving). I've just been feeling like I have the "I don't care attitude" lately! I've been hating my job for years but now that my vacation is only days away, i've been hating my job a whole lot more. My boss is even aware that after I come back I may be putting in a 2 week notice. If not right away, soon after.

I just can't bring myself to want to really care about anything anymore (Due to all the Disney action coming on so soon). 3 more days and I feel like it's killing me slowly. We're all packed up, have everything ready to go and if it weren't for me having to work till Sunday, we'd be leaving already. We've been planning this trip since last Christmas. It's our first trip anywhere together and my first real vacation. I'm going to be like a 3 year old kid in a candy store.

I've been doing a lot of reading on here in the past year and needless to say, I'm just worried about the whole trip and hoping it really will be as magical as everyone says it is. From posts about good food, bad food, pushy guests, friendly guests, closed attractions, remodeling, and many others..I'm hoping that everything is perfect.

I know someone's going to say that my trip is going to be however I make it and I believe that completely so I'm planning on being as positive as possible when I get there but I just pray that I don't have any negative experiences at all.

I'm probably asking for a bit much but on the flip side whose to say that it can't happen. I'm going to get to spend a whole day, maybe day and a half, down at DT Disney before even checking in on property so that should be a big boost to our visit into the parks the following days. I'm going to be checking out Ride Makerz, Design-A-Tee, DisneyQuest® Emporium, Disney's Days Of Christmas, and many other places and am already stoked! I just can't wait to have the time of my life.

I just needed to vent and share my thoughts. Sunday just isn't coming fast enough. I'll be sad to leave, that I know for sure.

Sorry to hear that you're having a tough time. One of my favorite things about WDW is that while I'm there I seem to forget that there's a real world outside of Walt Disney's world. All Disney experiences are just so immersive, it's so nice to be able to lose myself in fantasyland. I hope that you have the same kind of experience. Perhaps the vacation will recharge your batteries and at the end of your trip you'll be re-energized and ready to take on the "real world." I like to vacation twice a year (even if it's just a short weekend trip to visit family) because I need that time off from everyday life. I think we all need a break sometimes in order to stay sane. Just relax, have fun, and make sure you forget about the stresses of work and anything else that may be weighing on you. If work comes to mind, acknowledge the thought quickly and then push it out of your head. You deserve time off to just have fun and enjoy the moment.

A bad day at WDW is still better than the best day at work!

Just keep in mind that without the job you couldn't afford the Disney trip so let that help to keep the work in focus. And please remember that there is no such thing as a perfect trip. We do get a lot of posts here from people complaining about things but the reality is that often it is the expectation that may be too high. Your attitude is what will make your trip an enjoyable one. When things happen that may not be the way you expected or hoped just remember that you are in WDW and are there to relax and enjoy yourself.

Have a great trip and don't worry about work until you get back. Sounds like after the new year you probably want to start looking for something else. Always best to be sure you have another job before you quit the one you have. Easier to have the money to plan the next Disney trip!
