Please please, please don't let anyone on these boards deter you from what will be the most wonderful magical trip of your life. If you had not read any of these threads you would be planning with such joy and I regret that your excitement has been dimmed by people who are so spoiled and lucky to be able to go these wonderful parks many times and forget the wonderment of their first time with Mickey. I am 61 years old and have been there many times, but still look forward to the planning and talking about & then the first time you enter Disney property. You see the sign and your stomach gets quivvery and you know you are able to forget problems and heartache & even sorrow while you are there. i have traveled and never found a place that could fulfill that claim except for Disney. Nowhere you go can you find a place that never has a cleanliness problem once in a while no matter how much you pay, this claim that six Flags is the cleanest park. I have visited many and they are nowhere near as big as WDW nor do they service as many people, so I take no note of the comparison. Surly castmembers? Did you notice what happened right before this? How rude & demanding and obnoxious were the people before you? Walk a mile in my shoes please.
I have only ever been treated with respect, because I give respect, if I have had a problem I report it with understanding and have had my problem solved.
I walk onto main Street and am filled with joy and wonder and
a feeling of homecoming second only to my family, so I ask you once again, go with an open heart and watch the joy and wonder on your childrens faces as well as your own and Have the most magical time of your life. And when you come back please let us know how you feel and let me tell you "I told you so"
*I* could go. But DH is harsh critic and he will only remember that what I kept telling him nearly 11 years ago (which was true when we honeymooned) isn't true anymore, from the sounds of it. We *have* to spend a great deal to go to WDW (we have to fly and we are a family of 5, gasp!). I wish I could just take my princess loving little girl, but that isn't possible
I won't have a magical time if DH and DS 9.5 aren't having a good time, and they won't be if the place isn't clean and people are mean to them. We purposely go during off peak times, so we don't have to deal with the worst of the "public", but it doesn't sound avoidable anymore. I'll just have to wait. Can't really afford it anyway, not the way DH does the math. I say life is passing us by, but he lives in fear.
Maybe it is the Walt in me, I believe ... sigh ...
