Need opinions in an awkward situation...

[Laura]

I just wanted to say have a great trip!

 

[black562]

Thanks, I'm certainly going to do all in my power to have a good time. There's been a great deal of pain in my life...losing my father in a helicopter crash, ending a marriage on Christmas.. Though I'm not sleeping much right now, my mind is going a mile a minute thinking about so many "what-ifs". I know there is no sense or need to look back at things that way, but I guess its human nature to do so. Of course, Mom says to just let it roll off and forget about it, just stop feeling the way I do....if it were only that easy.

All I can do is take it one day at a time and see what happens...

The Battlefield is in the mind.....Decide to be victorious!

She's in lala land if she thinks there should never be a fight or argument in a relationship and she'll continue to never find mr right (at least in her mind).

If two people always agree on everything, then one of them isn't necessary.

Haha!

 

[DisneySweetheart]

Have a great trip!

Obviously her loss!

 

[Terk-1]

First, I'm really sorry that happened to you. It's her loss. After losing my dad 14 years ago & mom suddenly 4 years ago, I racked my brain with the why's & what if's and it got me nowhere. I finally realized that she showed me that life is way too short not to enjoy what you can. I also believe things happen for a reason. I may not understand why, but do believe that you are only given as much as you can handle. It may not always be nice & pretty, but you get through things and move on.

Second, I would cancel Cindy's castle and book something else. What about trying the California Grill or Yachtsman Steakhouse? HDDR is another option.

Third, go into this vacation as having fun. Relax and let all those worries, bad feelings, etc. go as soon as you cross under that WDW sign!! Have a blast with your friend!! Ride the rides you want. Rent some watermice & fly around the lagoon near the Magic Kingdom & Wilderness Lodge.

 

[JessicaFaye508]

Wow you got some amazing reservations.

I'm not really sure what you should do. Maybe you should go to the non-romantic ones, and then cancell the romantic ones and get other ones.

But just so you know, it's hard to get reservations now because we were trying to get some. So, maybe just keep them. I'm not sure

I have a friend in a similar situation that left yesturday for a trip to Rome with her ex-fiance. That was suppossed to be her honeymoon destination. I say change the things that were going to be "special" for you two & opt for fun stuff & different dining with your friend. You don't need to be sad on your vacation because of someone else. Disney is a good place to go to forget the real world. Have a good time. Sorry for your broken heart

 

[mickeyluv'r]

Sorry for your loss. Glad you got some alternative ADR's. She had the chance to marry a WDW-lover and blew it? Totally her loss!


I'd say, if any place is great for taking your mind off things, it's probably WDW.

Just let the kid in you come out. One of my personal favorites is getting a FP for Space Mtn. late at night. Make sure there is nobody right in front of you, and RUN up the queue inside the mountain!

Go until you are exausted each night!

Do you own favorite thing at WDW.

I'm guessing that WDW let you change the name on the room reservation. Sometimes they can get a bit sticky about that.

Well he did mention wanting to break his personal record of riding Mission Space 5 times in a row. I'm game for that.

 

[ihave4kids]

Reading your story makes me really sad.I am sorry for your situation,but it does seem like you have a great friend to be going with you to the best place in the world.It is the one place I can go and forget about all my problems.I hope you can do the same.
Have a great trip!!!!!!

 

[dansyr2514]

I've been in your situation also...only my ex-bf of 6 yrs broke up with me only a few days before we were going to disney but we still went and it was a mess.....but I think it's great that you are still going with a friend. I know it will be hard but try to not to think of everything you've done with you ex at Disney and start creating new memories.
The first time I went back to Disney with someone else after the break-up was a little tough...but every time since has been easier and now I don't even think of him anymore.

You CANNOT be sad at Disney. It isn't allowed.
Have a fabulous time and this time let it be all about you!

 

[julm26]

So sorry for your break-up, but I know you realize you'll do better. I lost my beloved mother to cancer 5 months ago and I realize that there is nothing I cannot handle from here on out - Death changes you - it makes you stronger.

Your too good for her - Have a wonderful TRip, skip the romantic dinners and have a great guys trip!!! It will do you good!!!

[MsQT4]

I think I would make it a very different Disney vacation than you had planned. Make it a fun/friend vacation and get rid of all the romantic stuff.

I agree. Cancel your dinner at Cindy's and try out a new place you've never been to. Make it fun and new. Try out some tours or something new. And above all- try to have fun!

 

[casaazul]

All I can say is yuck and hang in there! I have not lost anyone dear to me in many years (lost my dad when I was a teen many moons ago) ... but I did lose my hot water heater and we don't have any money to replace it. I'm not trying to make light of your situation, just trying to add a laugh!!!!

Maybe head to Biergarten in Epcot .. have some beer, dance to the band and think about nothing but Disney!

 

[deanie]

I am so sorry to hear of your breakup but like a PP stated, better to know than after the marriage. Sounds like you have the ADR's figured out now. I think you made a good choice to go to WDW and it will be lots of fun going with an almost newbie!! Each day WILL get easier even though it may be hard to believe it now. And please, let us know how your trip turned out when you get back. Kick back, laugh, and really have fun at WDW!!

 

[black562]

Yes, I think I have the dining all squared away. I'm hoping for good food and decent weather...hopefully not too hot.

 

[Disney_Angel]

As painful as this may sound this girl did you a favor. You deserve to be loved and cared for unconditionally and without reservation.

I promise you will understand this in time

In the mean time SCRAP all the romantic reservations. And try an get an ADR for CP (Crystal Palace) nothing makes you feel better inside then spending time with Pooh, Tigger, Eyeore, and Pglet. Or Hoop-Dee-Doo 2TS credit OR
Ohana's Best Friends Breakfast with Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Pluto.

BTW

Thank you to Mike M. who broke my heart in 1991....because of you my heart was open for big I. SEVENTEEN years and counting.
The best revenge is to live a happy life.
