Thanks, everyone. A Dole Whip tomorrow will certainly help and, Mom, i'll be character hunting all over and we'll be at the party!

I hope you find the magic.

You know..... AND a dole whip! Be sure to let us all know how it goes.

Once you get there I promise you will feel better. Im sorry you are going through this, but when I've had significant downers in my life Disney was always the one thing that brightened my day. Maybe it'll do the same for you

My aunt went to Disney a few weeks before her double mastectomy due to breast cancer.

She was really glad she did it because she could let loose and have fun when all she was feeling had been stress. Plus she thought it would be funny to "window shop" for a new size with all the beautiful SoCals walking around haha

Thanks for the good wishes for me too, everyone, and Juliebug, have a Dole Whip for me!

I hope you are able to enjoy your trip Juliebug....I am sure it will be great.
You are in my thoughts.

I can't wait for you to get there! Not the same thing, but my last trip to DL was during an extremely stressful time and it was an amazing stress reliever! And smiles, laughter and endorphins are good for your health!

I just can't find my enthusiasm for this trip. It'll be our first trip ever to DL and we're celebrating our first date five years ago. However, I was just diagnosed with breast cancer and I've been handling that information fine until yesterday. Just feeling blue and now I have no enthusiasm for our trip. I feel terrible and I don't want to admit it to DH, but Plus, it's too late and we do not have trip insurance; also, there's a part of me that says we really need this trip.

I'm hoping that, when we get there tomorrow night, I will feel completely different. We are going to the Halloween Party on Friday and there's so much that's different from WDW. I think I need an attitude adjustment.

PS: Please, no pity party for me. I seem to be handling that just fine on my own. I guess I just need a tip or two to find my Disney spirit.

Being told you have cancer is a shock and a reality check. It is okay not to be so excited about your trip, it will happen. The magic will wash over you when you walk through the gates and start to go under the tunnel to get to Main Street. You will feel it. Embrace it. Enjoy it. Let your inner kid out and enjoy. Have a ball. Disneyland is THE PLACE to be a kid and no one will bat an eye about it. If you want ice cream for breakfast, good for you. Want to ride the train twice around the park, do it and enjoy! This trip will energize your spirit for your battle with cancer. You will win the battle. If you let it, Disneyland will put you in a positive mood and place to have special happy thoughts to help you mentally battle cancer. I know you are probably thinking blow the smoke somewhere else, because I don't know. Well, I kind of do.

This month I am celebrating 20 years cancer free. I had a salivary cancer. I wanted to be at Disneyland to celebrate, but life didn't cooperate. I want to wish you the best of luck. Stay positive and eat healthy.
