I have $1200 for a solo trip...help!!!

[ENSOCK]

Instead of going to DL, why not go down to Washington DC? You could tour the museums. There is so much to see and do there. We went years ago and after 5 days still did not see and do it all. I can't wait to go back.

If you could add an extra night, what about a 3 night cruise?

 

[smokeyblue]

So OP, what is it? Do you live in NYC or Ohio?

Can you say Troll? I don't understand what the gain is having people plan your fictitious trip.

Just curious, why do you think that?

I found it a bit odd that someone would spend $1,200 for a one day trip. The whole story just seemed a bit fishy. I fully intended to give a thoughtful answer until I looked at the OP other posts. Just six weeks ago she lived in Ohio. Now all of a sudden she lives in NYC? There are also a few other subtle hints of dishonesty.

That was my first thought as well, but I replied anyway.

I have a whopping $1200 to spend on a solo trip to wherever I want. I thought about Vegas but decided not to...it's pretty much a glorified atlantic city. I've taken my kids to disney world four times within the past two years. I have ONE weekend to go on this solo trip by myself. Im bored with disney world so I need something diffrent.

Im thinking about Disney Land!! I've never been to the west coast. Im not really into Hollywood and all that jazz...it just doesnt appeal to me much. I do get a lil excited thinking about disneyland though.

I have $1200 to go towards this trip...I've budgeted $400 for airfare although i see i can get a roundtrip flight for a little under $350. Ill need a one day park hopper. Im pretty sure i can see and do everything in disneyland on that Saturday....and ill be returning home to my kiddos on that Sunday.

How much do you think this is going to cost ?

I live in NYC and i dont have a license so i dont drive. Ill need a motel within walking distance with an airport shuttle if possible.

This trip will be March 1st -March 3rd. So two nights..The cheapest flight leaves at like 9:30 p.m. so Im not able to make the most out of Friday. Ill be checking into the hotel and going straight to bed which will be in the middle of the night...oh boy

If you are not committed to Disney, there are great cruises out of NY. We do free styling with Norwegian, ds joins the single get to gathers when not doing family things for great fun. We do the three day Bermuda and love it. The new Breakaway is this year nd more costly. But he other ships or not peak season is doable.

Well it's definitely an odd posting for a troll. Not much drama here! LOL

Having deja vu on OP. Can't think of a username, but prior poster. single mom, a few disabled kids, lives in NYC, mom is alternatively helpful and annoying depending on the week, always right on the financial edge but also always planning or taking a budget trip. uses tax credit to fund trips, etc.

 

[DawnM]

You mean the one who said she left her kids at school and the police got involved and then a couple days later admitted it was a hoax?
I do see in NOV she said she lived in the buckeye state. What is up with that?

now I have to go back and reread the OP post so I can hone my skills at spotting fishiness!

I don't remember that series of postings but sounds similar! I remember drama with having to take a bus to a parent teacher conference across town and a mom who wanted to come on the trip but then couldn't pay her part. Honestly, it is all just mush in my brain but bells keep ringing ding ding ding.

 

[DawnM]

Truthfully, any time someone has only a few posts and says something rather "out there" my antenna go up.

OP is going to spend $1200 to go to DL for one day and fly all the way across the country when she has only a weekend for the trip......yeah, doesn't quite fly right.

And then when someone points out that she claimed to live in Ohio in her Nov post but now all of a sudden lives in NYC......well.....

now I have to go back and reread the OP post so I can hone my skills at spotting fishiness!

I guess I have to work on mine too. I didn't think anything odd about the post. When I was in my early 20's a few years ago, I'd take these types of trips. A weekend would be what I had time wise between school, work and other commitments.

Her first few posts in early December talk about splurging and hopefully being able to afford a 4 night Disney cruise this September plus some time afterwards in Florida. The total budget for the trip was something like $3200. She also said this:

Im going to prepay the $200 or so bucks in gratuity and not giving a dime extra ...that's plenty . Bag handlers , drivers etc....not getting a penny from me. Im not rich. Let someone else cover their "tip" . Why does EVERYONE expect a tip nowadays...okay maybe ill give the bag guy a buck or two but drivers arent waitresses..They arent earning 2.14 an hour ...no tip from me .

If I get a drink on the cruise ill tip a dollar ...maybe

Im not too worried about food on our resort days. I plan on ordering take out for dinner . With the gratuities prepaid and the resort prepaid. I plan on bringing just $500 for food/spending money. Were not big souvenir people . Ill buy the kids a couple of DCL tshirts..or maybe not.I can find them online for way cheaper.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. She could still have some extra money to spend and it would have nothing to do with budgeting for the family vacation. If it were me though, that $1200 would go a long way towards souvenirs and extras on the cruise. There's no way I'd spend it one one or two days of entertainment for myself lol. That's just me though.

I can't figure out why this is a troll. I don't remember old posts. I don't even remember this poster. A weekend away from the kids sounds OK to me. 2 years ago I flew to Napa and San Fran for a 3 day weekend from the east coast. Most importantly: what's the fun in this troll? Just another trip planning post.

Since I figure on only visiting DL a few times in my life, it sure as heck wouldn't be without loved ones.
