Help--I don't know if I want to go anymore

[alexandrew]

The information and insight I have gained from this board has helped us plan our trip, so we can maximize the good times! i feel that the stress i would have had from regretting doing or not doing something on our cruise without this knowledge, is far exceeded by the stress of information overload on this board.

Hi Aseafish! I too can empathize with your feelings. Even to the point of -- is this money we can use elsewhere. What I ultimately come to though is a place that I created when I was a very young child. I remember waiting all day just to be able to watch the Mickey Mouse Club. I have older sisters and they had me convinced until something like the 4th grade that pixie dust was real. I HAVE to get back to that place every once in a while. I HAVE to relive the magic. It is like coming home for me. I have never been on a Disney Cruise before. BUT there is no way I am going to go through my life without having gone on at least one. The little boy inside of me would never forgive me! When I am stuck in traffic going to work and stressing because I have to be in a meeting in 20 mins., I go to that place. I think about WDW and the magic there. THERE IS magic there. Oh don't get me wrong. Disney is a corporation and it is designed to make money. BUT it is also much more despite the business side. It is a world designed by a gifted Irishman who also could relate to his inner child. His vision is a big part of that magic. Trust me -- there will be many more days when I am stuck in traffic or cramming to get a deadline beat. I need to store up more of the pixie dust inside of me to get through those days. Hmmm -- I guess my sisters were right after all!

One last word -- if you don't go -- we will be the only ones going on the JAN 11th trip -- What fun is that?

For what it's worth...

...even with over 4500 posts on this board, I sometimes have to step away. I've taken several 7-day "breathers" and then I'm able to come back to the boards with renewed enthusiasm.

It seems like there's been a lot of negativity lately, though. I came back to the boards recently after an 11-day illness break, and thought I was going to have to take a 7-day breather after catching up.

Thanks for all the support. I think I'll just combine the deep breathing and the "breather" and see what happens. I'm smiling again, so that's a BIG improvement. Thanks again.

I know what's really bothering you....

you're afraid the food will be mediocre & the guy sitting next to you on formal night will have a tank top, shorts, & hairy armpits!!


You are probably just having guilt feelings for changing the date not going with your sister!

But, seriously, lol... you will have fun... and thanks! This thread has me smiling again too.

Aseafish....
Had to jump in here. Food for thought...
I am sure many of us remember clearly how much planning, crying, sacrificing free time went into planning our "Weddings"

As the day grew closer we got anxious and I personally didn't like anyone! Too much pressure. Will the guests be happy, will the food be good. Will Uncle Joe stay SOBER
Because the need for a perfect day we thought relied solely on our shoulders.
Your family is looking forward to this. I can tell you it warms my heart when I see multi -generations of the same families on the cruise! I wish I could rope in all my loved ones at the same time!

As for "negative comments" hey! Take them from where they come. There's always somthing for someone to complain about!
I am taking my third Disney Cruise and feel that unless you've done it yourself no amount of "talk" would equal your personal experience! Go and have a wonderful time!
