kind of off topic

to keep a long story short I'm after a bit of advice for anyone in my shoes. I love Disney and have been to wdw and Disneyland Paris several times. most of our happy memories are in 1 of the parks. me and my husband got married in the grand Floridian chapel 7 years ago. we visited wdw at 32 weeks pregnant so as you can see it's an important place to us.

me and husband have split up due to him being a nasty little cheat. will wdw ever be the same for me again? my son is 3 and I've been so looking forward to taking him. is it now ruined? has anyone else experienced this?? will I now be bitter to all things Disney??

Can I answer even if I haven't been in your position but saw my mom go through similar situations?

You have a little guy who will be your focus. Pieces of you might go through sad moments but I truly suspect that you will live far more in the moment and through your son.

I'm sorry for the hard circumstances. :/

I haven't been in your situation but I'll chime in. Concentrate on making new memories with your son, and if possible, avoid anything that was "special" to you and the ex-like the wedding chapel and the Grand Floridian. You may still have a few moments that take you back, but I think if you go with the mindset that it WILL be a great trip, it will be.

Like the other I haven't experience relation problems like your.

Try to put that behind you and make new memories with your child.

I find that when I'm at WDW I'm in a different world. A new world where you leave your problems behind, and just like they say your at the happiest place. Forget you problems at least for time that your there.

Maybe when you get home you'll see things differently. And have a new beginning.

Make new happy memories with your son. For him it will be a new experience and try to see WDW through his eyes. This experience can still be a great time for the both of you. Good Luck.

I leave for wdw in 72 hrs on my first trip as a single parent. My Ex and I had been to WDW so many times so I understand where you are coming from. My daughter is 9 and its just the two of us. My plan is to do the trip through her eyes and enjoy it at her speed (she hasn't been to WDW since she was 4) so in a sense this is her first trip. I plan on just looking at everything differently. I'm sure there are times I will want to tear up but it will only last a second. Enjoy it, move on its not easy but we can do it. Hugs

thanks guys. everything is just so raw at the moment. I can't imaging going to the happiest place on earth without my husband. I didn't fall out of love with him and the idea of him not being with me in Disney fills me with dread.
