It was NOT the time of our lives...but it's still DISNEY! Final thoughts!

[Raecheal]

It was NOT the time of our lives…I’m so disappointed with this trip. I may have to wait a couple of days before I start to share. I need some time because I was just so excited to head out to WDW… and things didn’t really go according to plan. (No, I’m not one of those people that expect everything to go the way I planned) Ultimately we did everything we had planned or not planned…It’s just that different circumstances which were out of our control affected our stay, some of them ruined our plans and we delt with a lot of incompetent people!

Dbf keeps reminding me look on the bright side! He’s always the voice of reasons and to his credit he does bring up some valid points. One thing he has mentioned since we got back, that has stayed in mind is, “Over the course of my lifetime, one semi-destructive Disney trip is nothing compared to how many great WDW trips we have taken and how many great trips are to come!”

When we first got home, I would have told you that the ratio from good to bad was -80% Bad to 20% good-… but now that I’ve had some time too look over my passporters notes, talk with Dbf, wear some of my souvenirs, pick up Stella and look through the picture’s…. at the end of the day, We just spent a weekend in WDW and……………It’s Disney. (Now, I’m about at -65% Bad to 35% Good-.)

This report will be filled with disappointment, sadness, surprises or NOT, kind gestures, new experiences and a lot of candid, quiet special moments.

Please feel free to post, I love meeting new people (you never know when/how you'll meet a life long friend) and hearing everyone's thoughts and opinions.

"omg that person is a CM!?" or "this is REALLY happening in Disney" .. there have been some boiling points for me in Disney.. and its just extremely frustrating! but anyways I am here!! take all the time you need to write it out..

Well I always love a sneak peak to an upcoming movie, TV episode or even a book. So I thought I’d throw one in my TR for all of you to enjoy! Some photo’s you’ll be sure to recognize and some maybe not! Here’s my sneak peak:

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

I'm in... I'm interested to see what happened.

And thanks for the sneak preview, I love it.
It's almost like a picture game in itself... let's see..
1. Looks like the stuff you had sent to your resort.
2. Inside Hollywood Studios
3. Outside the airplane
4. Tren-D?
5. A tree at the WL?
6. I feel like I've seen this before...
7. Is that in Jiko?

I can't wait to read more.

 

[Krissy04]

So sorry to hear your trip wasn't everything you had wanted it to be. Hopefully writing your TR will be make you feel better and get you looking forward to your next trip

 

[xoktenox]

Hey, I'm joining in here! I'm sorry to hear you didn't have such a great time but interested to hear about it. Maybe as you write about it, you'll remember more good things

 

[twenty3curls]

I'm here, chica! Hopefully, looking through your pictures will help you remember all the good and let the bad slowly fade out of the picture (since we're talking movie previews and all )

 

[cdotla]

Oh no...do tell!

3. Dbf and I
4. Half Day at POP

Weren't successfully and ruined.

This trip, was Me, I’m on a quest to lose weight, down 35 pounds so far, trying to live a healthy lifestyle which includes daily exercise and eating much more healthy. I’d love to lose another 20-35 pounds, which would bring me down to about 125-135lbs. I LOVE, love to shop, Watch movies, scrapbooking, travel, spend tim with family and obviously spend time in Disney.

Here’s a recent picture of me during our trip… Hopefully we’ll have the professional photos from Roots soon so you won't have to see these horrible ones.

My better half, Dbf, is 27 years old. He truly is my better half, everything I’ve ever wanted in a partner. He’s already a pretty healthy person who makes daily visit to the gym, he eats healthy and has a great sense of adventure or at least he’s an adrenaline junkie. He’s not a HUGE fan of Disney like me, but he goes for me, which is all that matters.

Here’s a recent picture of Dbf during our trip, it’s his opinion on my obsessive photo taking:

okay, no. He’s a better photo of him.

RACH!! I'm here!! So glad you started, but I'm bummed to hear you had a bad trip It just seems like you couldn't catch a break.


You look great, and you and your BF make a beautiful couple.

Love the sneak peek pics!

I'm glad your here Lynn, Thanks! A lot of people say we look like brother and sister... but that's exactly it "we couldn't catch a break" at least on Friday.

 

[DSNYGRL_JKS2006]

aww i'm ready for more...!!!

 

[Lynn5700]

I'm glad your here Lynn, Thanks! A lot of people say we look like brother and sister... but that's exactly it "we couldn't catch a break" at least on Friday.

Tim and I used to get that when we were in HS! Drove me nuts lol. When I was really little...for some reason I thought my parents were brother and sister LMAO!!

Hey how is Grams doing?

 

[xoktenox]

Tim and I used to get that when we were in HS! Drove me nuts lol. When I was really little...for some reason I thought my parents were brother and sister LMAO!!

When I was a little kid I thought I was going to marry my dad. When my mom broke the news to me that I couldn't marry my dad I said "Ok, I'll just marry Kevin then." Kevin's my brother LOL

 

[lacrosse_lady72]

Ah man... I'm guessing I got the tree picture is the one I got wrong since it's in Lynn's PTR now Oh well, I guess I just have to keep up on that PTR to get the answer.

 

[Sunset Cliffs]

Hey girl! That was not what I was expecting when I saw you had started your TR. I thought about you this weekend and I was really hoping you were having a fabulous time. Hopefully writing it all down will help you see the good stuff and vent out the bad stuff. Isn't it great that you have a place to talk it all out, and people will totally get what you are saying? I'm so glad that you got home safely!

 

[deanie]

I am very sad to hear that your trip was not so great.I am very curious to hear what went wrong. I hope your next trip will make up for this one.

 

[DreaGirl]

I'm here! I'm sorry your trip wasn't everything you wanted, but I'm still looking forward to reading all about it.

Girl, I hope you don't want to lose 125 lbs! You would be like 5 lbs. then.

I can't wait to see what those boxes and Mickey feet are all about!!

How's your Gram??

 

[disneygirlinnj]

oh no! I'm so sorry to hear your trip wasn't all you planned it to be. It happens but it sucks. Hopefully you can focus on the fun parts later on though.
