Preparing for a bad trip

[maxiesmom]

We leave for Disney World in just 4 short days!


And from being on the boards today I have learned I will probably not have a good time. Because.....

1. It will be a cold 70 degrees
2. The parks are crawling with foreigners
3. I won't be able to eat at any counter service places. I will be too stressed about the proper way to go about things. Do I order the food first, or have someone grab a table first? I can't decide!
4. Someone may run me over with their ECV
5. I not only have to be on the lookout for bedbugs in my room, but snakes too!

Am I missing something?

But you know, somehow, even with all of this bad stuff that could happen to me, I am still super excited to be going to Disney World. Even if all of those things happen to me, I will still be smiling. Cause as the saying goes, a bad day at Disney is better than a bad day anywhere else!


Who else is excited to be going to Disney World and is not going to let all the bad things that could happen bring them down? Let's be happy people! We are going to Disney World!

There is a chance that you will not get any towel animals.

I will rejoice with you! I can endure the stresses at home in daily life with comfort knowing that Disney World is not too far away! And NOTHING that happens there equals the stresses that happen in daily life, at least for me, so let the GOOD Times roll!

Send me your tickets. I'll "take the hit" for you!

You could get approached by 2 total and complete strangers who ask you to follow them, make you watch a video, force you and your family to ride in a parade, and tell you that you are going to have to waste a night's money on a hotel ressie that you have because you won't be sleeping there for the night since you will be staying in some silly ol' suite inside a castle.

Have a great trip!

If you have extras...I'll take "one for the team", too!!!

 

[winterman]

I'd be willing to step in for you too.

 

[saraheeyore]

i am going soooon and i am soooooooo excited even after reading all the bad things on these boards

 

[Racknack]

Yeah you missed something.

The Love Bugs might make a surprise raid on Walt Disney World while you are there. And someone might trick you into drinking some of that awful water they have down there in Florida.

You will be surrounded by people using last year's refillable mug. As others have said, if you'd prefer, I can go in your place. I won't even let the pool hoppers or the parents pushing 22-year olds in strollers bother me.

 

[IggyLans]

And don't get me started about those crazy stroller navigators! Boy oh boy!

 

[Ashton7]

LOL! Maxiesmom. I hope you and your family have a great trip. It's gray and rainy in Orlando right now but I believe the weather is supposed to dry out again shortly and the weather is going to be wonderfully drier and cooler. Those of us who live here soooo look forward to this time of year when the humidity levels go down and it's cooler. It's still quite warm during the day and the sun can be especially hot so remember you'll probably still need sunglasses, hats, whatever suits you.

Have fun!

Don't forget:

your trip will be ruined by a lack of towel animals.

everyone at DW will conspire to deny you any of your room requests.

you won't fit into your hotel pool which is over run with pool hoppers.

smokers will completely surround you everywhere you go.

you will wait 2-3 hours for buses all of the time and there will never be a seat for you.

housekeeping wil purposely leave an old hair wrap on the floor so you can count how many days it stays there.

you won't be able to watch any parades because all of the good spots will be staked out and held 2-3 hours beofre the parade.

DW will make it rain just to ruin your trip.

You have to do Do what it seems many other disers do to have "fun":

Stake out CS restaurants at the hotel to watch for someone using old mugs from last year. Keep careful count so you can rush to your laptop and report on it.

Stare at your hotel's buildings hoping to find someone smoking on their baclony so you can call a CM.

Ride the buses so you can have the fun of counting ho wmany people refuse to give up their seat to someone you think is more deserving of it.

Hang out at the front desk yellign at CMs and changing rooms 2-3 times until you have the perfect location and view.

Carefully write down and report on what others wear to Signature restaurants and tell in detail how it ruined your meal.

Follow and observe all stroller and ECV users to ensure they meet your opinion on whether or not they or their children qualify to use them according to your set of rules.

And don't forget the favorite and most fun activity of all. Carefully track each and every picky, minute, unimportant negaitve detail of your trip, so you can joyfully report it on the boards and discuss it to death!


Enjoy your trip!

Oh, that's too funny!

 

[jessily]

hahaha, your post cracked me up Don't forget about all the noisy children you might run into down there. Have a great trip!

 

[Dubb]

Remember to make passing judgements of others, and then rudely deny their child a seat in front of you during the parade - even if it would not obscure your view - and make sure everyone in earshot knows that you were smart enough to wait at that spot for those 2-3 hours.

 

[Daydreamer]

An absolutely make certain that if you see someone stop to take in the Magic you run smack into them and then complain that they shouldn't stop to look at anything. I mean, after all, this is a vacation and should be about going at break neck speed to beat everyone to the next ride. Who has time to take in the sites and sounds.

 

[Sleeping Becca]

I think canceling is your only option at this point. Sorry.

 

[Shannon84]

Too bad it will only be 70 degrees out....its such a WARM 58 degrees here.....I am very much willing to switch places with you. I know, Im very kind

 

[jrae]

On a slightly serious note, thank you for this thread. I am new here and was starting to wonder if I was perhaps a little too easy going to fit in!!

Never sweat the small stuff - you might dehydrate. (and that would really be downer at Disney!)
