My mom is at the World....

[CheshireVal]

Ugh-- my mom and brother are enjoying their 5th day at Disney World this very minute, and I'm stuck here at work.

It's been kind of a sticking point with us over the past couple of months. She had originally planned just a short weekend getaway, and unfortunately I couldn't go this weekend because of work obligations.

But then her trip turned into a 5 day park-hopping extravaganza. It's the first time she's ever gone without me. It's a family tradition with us to go every year, which started when I was 9 months old. I'm now almost 30! I've just been really kind of bummed about it because I feel like she purposely chose a weekend I couldn't go and then it turned into this big thing.

She's still planning on going back (with me and brother and my BF) over Christmas, but somehow the whole thing is just kind of ruined for me because I feel so left out.

Oh well. I just had to vent! I love Disney so much and it KILLS me that they're there without me, especially when I've been having a rotten time at work!! All I can think about is them walking around Epcot, riding the safari at AK, watching Wishes at MK.....

Haha.

I called her last night just to try to be a good sport about it, and she told me she hadn't gotten me a souvenir because she thought it would seem like she's rubbing it in.

Is there a reason she would choose to go when you couldn't go?

 

[CheshireVal]

I don't know. My BF recently moved over from Australia and is living with me.

I wonder sometimes if this is her subconsciously getting back at me for "growing up," like maybe she thinks I don't need the family anymore.

(When, to be honest, my BF doesn't appreciate Disney very much so I'd much rather go with my mom and brother! )

There is an easy way to get her back. Bring her over to Birmingham and tell her you are treating her to 5 days in Visionland.


For those that do not know what visionland is, there is a good reason why you don't.
Think Six Flaggs on a quarter scale, with a fraction of the budget, and poor management. Woo hoo!!! After 2 hours, you have seen and done everything. Some things twice
