I totally agree with this! Jordan, you've touched so many people's lives on here, you could almost think of it as another kind of ministry. I hope you enjoy your new trip blueprint, though I'm sure you will. I think most of us are probably with you on the relaxing thing, I know I am, though I don't know how much of that will be happening on our trip, lol. You know how I feel about the Dis, I've probably talked about it too much on my ptr, so I'll leave it at that!

Thanks Amanda. You and so many others here have really made me understand the ups and downs of having children with disabilities or suffering from disease whether it be CF or Autism or ADHD. I have a special needs nephew and I love him so much.

I just come here to escape the "real" world and find that really I'm not escaping, but expanding my world.

I hope to relax. We'll see when I get there....I may go on autopilot and go all commando...

 

[englishrose47]

I vote for the Hot Italian....MAMA MIA!!!

I also have some thoughts!!! I have a feeling though that between Winkers and Jordan we could be infer some Screen spitting pix and updates !!

I have the luggage out, but only starting to gather items for it. I'll probably get a packing list going soon.

I am switching days off...I'm working monday and taking today off.



I know. I should've known better.

Lesson learned , next time leave me in charge I am the sober, straitlaced one of the groupOops I hear Thunder and Lighting I don't think the guy upstairs bought that one !!!

I think you've met Dawn right?



I do have some thoughts/ideas about this.....I will be keeping them to myself for the time being.

your dong and the poo....too funny!!!

Change is always hard and yet so good for you. I'm excited to see what strange new things you find at AKV.....knowing you, instead of drunks you'll become an animal magnet.


I love what you wrote about the dis boards, it's exactly how I feel. Without the trip reports I never would have learned the asian power sign, looked for peeps or taken pictures with my tongue hanging out.

Being here is better than therapy for me. I get to laugh..a lot, cry a little and learn about other places all rolled into one.

Okay in one post Winkers is getting mmmmm a little off center here with Jordans body parts Then she adds to your(Jordan's) oh so sentimental post !!!

3 years ago when I first found the Dis I had NO CLUE !! In true Dis form I was taken under wing and was soon a FOCKER!!! By 2008 as I planned my first ever SOLO trip I met Jordan and Blue on these boards and thru them FW!!Not only have you guys shared your Disney Expertise with me , you all have been there when I was down and given me the I so desperately needed !! You have made BAD days Good with your humor and Good days even better !!You reach out to those in need and although I may never meet all of you !! You are the Best Friends anyone could ask for !!

I know that I will have a BALL no matter what the weather is , cuz I will be with my friends

 

[jordanyosh]

I know you meant dog but I had a flash of sixteen candles there for a moment!

I hope she meant dog...

On a more serious note yeah we get that way once in a while I too have travelled far and wide with others and walked that mile with others. Sometimes I realize I am not alone in my struggles but mostly I realize I am not crazy in my love for Disney, even though some people immediately around me may think so.

I think it Disney that is the initial bond and then it's just because we're all nuts...

I had a Code Brown with my dog, d-o-g, dog (see that winkers?) last night.

I am excited for all of you going this time. I wish I could somehow make it down there. I would love to meet everyone in "person" and share the experience.

I wish everyone could be there. There's always PeepFest.

 

[winkers]

I took the liberty to change the one letter in the above statement....I don't think you you think my well.........you get the idea....

I hope she meant dog...

I had a Code Brown with my dog, d-o-g, dog (see that winkers?) last night.

oh heavens...when I saw that, I think I blushed to my toes. I shouldn't post when I'm tired.


Hunter just came in to ask what I'm laughing about but i couldn't tell him...he just shook his head and walked away.

Had the poo incident been about the dog with an n...it would have really crossed the line of TMI.

I'm heading over to fix my mistake...

 

[eandesmom]

I have a feeling that AKV will be magical solo. Just a hunch.

I hope you have enough time with Wendy and the gang but knowing you, if you feel mid trip you don't, you are open to change and the fact that you are considering, planning down time leaves you open to those possibilities.

Change is good. Not always easy. But good.

Chapter 74. WDW 2010, the year of change.

I thought about this tonight and really I have to thank all of you for opening me up to change. I've been exposed to things on DIS that I don't think I would ever have the opportunity to experience otherwise. I know what it's like to live in snow, sort of. I've seen Savannah; I've been to the Dells; I've travelled to Greece--all through other people's eyes. I feel like I've been to Louisiana, Texas, Georgia, Washington... I've seen the streets of NYC. I've gained understanding of what it's like to live in a blended family. I've gained appreciation of those who have children with disabilities. You all have changed who I am and how I view the world. I am a better person because of all of you.

I usually know what to expect from my WDW vacations, but with so much change, it's going to be so different this year. I have you all to thank for that.

this made me very misty. Beautifully said!

 

[jordanyosh]

That is one of the best updates ever! Of course I'm all teary eyed now but it's because I know exactly what you mean. I don't know how or why the doors just suddenly opened up for us to be able to take this trip. I don't question it. I know we need it and I don't intend on wasting it at all.

can't.wait.

I wonder if it's because we have been to WDW so many times now and we are finally starting to feel settled in. (?) Maybe we are starting to finally feel like it's okay to take some time and relax. We plan on doing more of that this trip too.

you would think after the 5th trip, I'd be settled in.

I guess it just takes me a little longer to settle in...

 

[jordanyosh]

Crazy how we settle into routines, huh?

It gets worse the older I get...

Jordan, that was so sweet! I often marvel at the diversity of people here on the DISboards and how the love of Disney has forged so many bonds between us. It feels like family here!

[jordanyosh]

Ah, what a touching update. We feel blessed to have gone on your travels with you as well. You have touched many here.
For every door that closes a window opens.

Thanks Mary.

Just think....we've moved to a new house with you

 

[jordanyosh]

It's great that your vacation will be different. Change is good and keeps things fresh. Sometimes is nice not to know what to expect. And as hard as trying a new resort may be, you may love AKV and never want to stay anywhere else.

Change is good? Really? Okay, I'm taking your word for it Jenn.

I haven't met a Disney Resort that I didn't like.

 

[jordanyosh]

I also have some thoughts!!! I have a feeling though that between Winkers and Jordan we could be infer some Screen spitting pix and updates !!

I have at least 3-4 that I want to get with Winkers. I have a few in mind for the Wave on Saturday.....

Okay in one post Winkers is getting mmmmm a little off center here with Jordans body parts Then she adds to your(Jordan's) oh so sentimental post !!!

[Poolrat]

I hope she meant dog...

In your words.... Still laughing

I think it Disney that is the initial bond and then it's just because we're all nuts...

I would like to think we are all perfectly normal and the rest who don't get it are the crazy ones.

I had a Code Brown with my dog, d-o-g, dog (see that winkers?) last night.

Betcha never thought you would have a use for a Code Brown.

I had such a hard time typing that due to uncontrolled laughter. looking for any misplaced n's

I wish everyone could be there. There's always PeepFest

.

Got it marked. It is during our busy time but maybe, just maybe I can make it work.

you would think after the 5th trip, I'd be settled in.

I guess it just takes me a little longer to settle in...

After the 6th trip in 5 years, and doing various configuations, solo, with friends, with 1 child at a time, whole family, all those trips turned out a bit different due to different dynamics, I think I am FINALLY learning not to just go commando, even though I have to fight the urge with everything I have. I finally am starting to feel settled in, like for me, going to a familiar pool ( make sure I have that l), I know where everything is and how the traffic flow is etc.
Comfort food for the soul. That's the easy way to say it.

I laughed so hard when I read it.

 

[DisMomAmy]

Hi Jordan! I loved your last update! I totally get what you are saying about the DIS. I came here to pick up a few tip about going to WDW with a child with autism and have met all kinds of people from all over the country and made some really great friends.

I love that you are changing things up a bit this year. I can't wait to hear all about it.

 

[tinacaplan]

Thanks for the update. I just had an argument with my DH about why he won't even try roller coasters (terrified on Space Mountain as a kid...well, almost a teenager, but who's counting??) and had been kind of wringing my hands about planning this trip down to every last second, despite my never wanting to be a park commando or anything. So, thanks for putting this back in perspective; this trip is about relaxing and enjoying my time with DH, not about whether or not I choose to wait in line for Space Mountain. And oh, yeah, people watching? Love it.

 

[joy13]

I'm pretty new to your group - but I'm so glad I started reading trip reports. I started just to get ideas of what others did on their vacation - meeting friends was such a bonus!

 

[jordanyosh]

I have a feeling that AKV will be magical solo. Just a hunch.

I ultimately think so too. I can just imagine myself falling asleep in different areas of the resort.

I hope you have enough time with Wendy and the gang but knowing you, if you feel mid trip you don't, you are open to change and the fact that you are considering, planning down time leaves you open to those possibilities.

When we went to AZ in August. I didn't really spend that much time with them and you know where that ended me up...

Change is good. Not always easy. But good.

Wise, wise, wise.

this made me very misty. Beautifully said!

Just preachin it sister.

[KatGarcia]

You are the sweetest! And I totally agree about the DIS boards and how they have brought us all together!
