been lurking for a long time but couldn't let this one go...

geez....doesn't anyone think maybe it's a tiny bit presumptuous (or maybe even slightly rude) to insert oneself into someone else's vacation 10 days before they leave? friends or no friends my mama always taught me not to invite myself to someone else's party.....

op, do your friends have adrs? do they already have plans for the trip? what a pain to have to change everything at the last minute--you either have really generous friends or they are afraid to hurt your feelings

nice thought that maybe you could go at the last minute, but i'm thinking how i would feel if someone did that to me.....it sort of sounds like you are only thinking about what's nice for you....

Perhaps the other travelers are warm open people who are happy for someone that has a chance to do something wonderful and so unexpected. There are nice people out there who are not so caught up in the my, me, mine.

I would welcome someone, especially if they were part of the original plan but had to bow out due to medical bills. But that's just me.

Hopefully everything works out for you.

Question - why not just book your air, purchase your WDW tickets, pay cash for meals and give your friends 1/3 of the hotel cost? If you can spring it get a cheap room at one of the values. This might be even better.

I totally understand about adding a third wheel. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Proceed with caution. I have several different group of friends and some of our mutual friends I would never go on a vacation/girl's getaway. It's tough just sitting through dinner with them. A vacation - NO WAY!! However, they have absolutely no idea I couldn't stand to be around them for a long period of time. But if they were added to my vacation - I would have a fit!!!! I would cancel and let them take my spot.

If you have any friends who would like to go and can go last minute - give them a call and the two of you could get your own room.

Let us know what happens.

Well if you read the original post then you would have seen that this was originally trip that included the OP but medical expenses changed plans. I think her friends are joyous that she can go.

I guess one thing you mama didn't teach you is..."If you don't anything nice to say then say nothing at all" huh?

BTW does anyone else smell a troll!!!!

Oh wow! I hope you can go!

Ok, first of all the whole trip was MY idea to begin with! Secondly, I was the person who invited the other lady. ME ME ME. Thirdly, my friend and I have been wishing and hoping all along that there could be a way for me to go. Fourthly, I stated that I was TOTALLY willing to back out of this trip if it was going to be a pain for me to come. Jeez!

Still waiting and still having high hopes for you!!

 

[mickey2minnie1]

Any news????

 

[goinback]

Hi my friends! I am afraid I have sad news. I will not be going afterall. Everything would have been fine as far as adding me to the package. No penalties no problem with ME. The problem did turn out to be with my friend's friend. Although my friend told me she was fine with it, I sensed hesitation in her voice that I just could not let go of. So, I told my friend to be honest with me about what was going on. She said that the other lady was not thrilled and needed a little time to adjust. At that point I told my friend that I just was not going to go. I really thought that since I invited the other lady to begin with, and since the whole thing was my idea ( I even priced the whole darn thing out and broke the idividual cost down) that they would be thrilled that I could go. Especially since they knew how broken hearted I was to pull out in Sept. I guess I was just going on how I think I would feel if it were reversed. I am not angry, just a little hurt and really dissappointed. I told my friend to just tell the other lady that my finances did not come together. No need to create any bad feelings. I really misjudged the whole thing . Thanks to everyone for your well wishes and pixie dust! Your are a great bunch of DISers!

 

[MousekaMaddi]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bummer, I was so rootin for u........rats,
plan another trip Im available

 

[scanmom]

I feel awful for you, I know what it is like to have to cancel a planned trip. You are taking the high road about all this, and I commend you for it!! You should try to plan a trip with you and DH. We did that once, and it was great!!

 

[conandrob240]

Oh, no! I was lurking on this post so happy for you that your medical woes are behind you and that you could celebrate with Mickey! Sounds like a pretty selfish lady. You acted like a real classy person by deciding not to go. Maybe you and your DH will get to go? I hope you get back to WDW soon!

 

[TinkWink]

Hey, you know what? What goes around comes around. Just stash those funds away for something else fun another time!

I hope you do get to take a girls' getaway trip at some point, Disney or elsewhere (wait...there are other vacation spots?!) I went on a getaway with a gal pal this year for the first time and it was the BEST! You wouldn't have wanted it to be less than perfect, so maybe it all worked out for good.

 

[hockeybabe]

I'm so sorry it didn't work out. You are smart not to go when you sense there might be a spoiler to the magic. Just keep that money aside, and when Mickey comes a'callin' again, you'll be ready to enjoy the plethera of pixie dust!

 

[mickey2minnie1]

Ohhhh, I am so disappointed that another person could be so selfish.

I would go and have a romantic stay with DH when you can. What a man to give you such a nice gift.

Let us know if you have any future Disney plans.

 

[goinback]

Thanks guys! We will go back eventually. It is hard to be upset when I have such a wonderful husband that loves me so mch. That's enough for me!

 

[skater]

Once again, I think all of us need to be careful in judging anybody. I would bet all of the details are not in this story and it sounds like a heartbreaking situation for everybody. I feel sorry for everybody - the OP feels rejected and left out of a Disney trip. Her friend is stuck right in the middle - trying to meet the needs of the OP plus her other friend who had certain expectations - who maybe just needed a little time to adjust. And the "other friend" - who knows what she's feeling - maybe guilty, maybe worried because she doesn't know the OP very well - There may not be any true bad guys in this story
