So, our large party is 2 wks away from arriving at BWV for the WDW Marathon! DH's 3 best friends, me, DS4, and our good friends from Atlanta are all meeting to cheer about 6 in our party on.
DH has been keeping all involved abreast of the situations; ALL the details (cost, itinerary, reservations, etc...). And all along, his 3 best friends have made fun of him for his overplanning. None of them have ever been so they have no idea what it's like! We do so we've made all the plans and they've agreed to just do what we tell them.
So on Monday, he sent out to all the granddaddy of all planning spreadsheets with ALL our final info on it.
So...one friend FREAKS at the cost of everything and wants to back out. DH is a little mad b/c he's tried to tell this friend all along what things will cost. This friend has been out of regular work for awhile now and has been working a low-paying job to make ends meet. I understand that things might be tight for him. So DH and I offered to help him. It'll mean less spending money for us, but the trip wouldn't be the same without him. But he's being stubborn.
So, grant me patience with our friend. He's proud, doesn't want our help but he's a good friend and we'd never dream of leaving him behind.
I told DH it just comes with the territory of planning a trip with other people.....
