Hello....it's mee ;)

[Smee]

Smee!
I'm ba-ack.

Thank you for your concern, Tia - and to all the others too.
Okay, in a nutshell.....As some of you knew already, I've been a fearful flyer for many years
now. Well, after the attacks of Sept.11, it became significantly worse. However,
I was not ready to give up on DIS Con!! (I don't take being a commando lightly!!).
I did know though that I had to pause my DIS Con "compulsion" for awhile...at least until
I could actively deal with my now compounded fear of flying. So, I stayed away. Almost
totally for 2 months now. I was pm'ed about DIS Con chats and dropped in there for a bit on 2 occasions.
Well, I can't say that I'm feeling totally better about flying, BUT I'm gonna do it!!

I know that there is scads of info about the meets, etc. that I have missed.
Can you all give me the high points?

Once, again thank you all for your concern.

Tia, a special thanks to you for the thread!

DIS CON here I come!!!

Smee - I am glad to hear it. I know how you feel I am no where near a nervous flyer but this time I am apprehensive.

I think it is probably because we are flying from Logan Airport instead of my fave TF Green. I will be very happy to land in Orlando.

Smee...I am glad to hear you are coming..I love to fly...have done it ofetn, but this time I am apprehensive about it because of what happened in Sept and because I have never traveled alone. I am admittingly nervous and apprehensive...but I am going...no way will in no way stay home!!!!!

So I will look forward to meeting you and having a blast at Dis Con!

Hi Corinne.

I'm so glad you have decided to come. I'm sure it was a very, very tough decision for you. I think a lot of us went through a similar emotional roller coaster after 9-11. It's totally understandable....and quite natural I think.

I'm not afraid of flying, but admittedly, the attacks had me second-guessing my decision to FLY to FLORIDA (a lot of my friends think I have finally proven myself insane LOL ). I'm sure I don't understand this fear, but I hope you can overcome just long enough to make it to DIS-Con.

Welcome Back Commando Smee!!!

Smee, I'm so glad that you are still coming to DIS Con. We are going to have so much fun!!

Although I've never had a problem with flying (just never have gotten to do much) but my girls are somewhat apprehensive. I've explained that that's part of the WDW trip so we know we have to do it in order to go. My DH isn't very happy that we are flying too, but he knows that I couldn't possibly drive from Oklahoma. (Wish I would have known about Dayna earlier )

Just focus on DIS Con and for the flight, take a deep breath and close your eyes.

God Bless.

Corinne, I'm so glad you're feeling better about coming to DIS-Con. While you may not be comfortable about the flying thing, just think what wonderful things that plane trip is taking you to!! I don't mind flying, but as Glo said, I am more apprehensive than I used to be. But, I'm willing to grit my teeth and fly to get to where I want to be. I'm so happy you've decided to overcome that fear and come to the convention. We will have the best time ever!!

I'm glad to hear that you are still coming Smee. I admit that I had a lot os secoind thoughts about flying and I am still apprehensive but I will be there and glad that you will be too.

 

[Smee]

Thanks everybody, you are the best!!!!!!!
Kisses and hugs of appreciation to all of you!!

I'm glad to hear that you are still coming Smee. I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone.

Glad you're coming Corrine! I'm not exactly thrilled about flying any time, much less since everything has happened, but I try to focus on what I'm going to be doing, rather than what's going on as I'm boarding the plane. Having a good book helps me as well and a set of headphones, so I can't hear the plane engines. We're going to have a wonderful time....just you wait!

 

[perfectmatch300]

Glad to hear you're still coming, Corrine. I'm not at all a fearful flyer normally, but I will admit I'm a little nervous about this flight, but it sure isn't going to keep me from DIS-CON!
