Singles who are for the "Love of Disney" - Part 3

[buena vista]

Speaking of "irrational exuberance" for better or worse I did not cancel my Disney trip for December. It may be financially irresponsible but after the week of stress I have had about losing my job in January I feel I deserve it. With the job market and economy being what it is it may be along time before I get the chance to get to Disney again.

Does anyone else think I am nuts?

John

Nuts? Nope... you have to do what is best for you. Rumor has it that there is a big announcement coming on 10-31 for the client site that I manage. I've made everyone promise to NOT text me, NOT call me, DO NOT tell me anything while I'm on vacation!!

I'll find out when I get home on the 2nd. Hey, if I have a job great... if I don't... I'll deal with it and perhaps that's my sign to move to FL earlier than 2010!

Enjoy your trip... there's all sorts of ways to cut back while there... it doesn't take a ton of money to enjoy the Happiest Place on Earth!

Well said. I'd say that unless the trip is going to put you under a lot of additional stress, you're probably doing the right thing by going. I find that being there sparks my imagination and helps me put things in perspective. Obviously if going will add stress to your life, then you should reconsider. Otherwise, you should enjoy the opportunity to be there.

I'm formulating a moving plan as well... it's very nebulous at the moment, but I think I might set a deadline too, because if I don't, I'll never do anything about it! Cait dubbed it "Operation Happiest Place on Earth"! 2010 sounds like a good time to shoot for.

I agree with everyone else John. I think you should go if it is not going to place unneeded financial burdens on you. However if you are still renting the car you ought to consider Magical Express. It would save some duckies. . .

And, we will see you there.

NOPE - just do it, life is way to short (but that is just my two cents)

 

[Johnfish]

Thanks for the encouragement Darcy! I am not sure if it will cause a hardship. It wont right now that is why I am going LOL. I am going to have a tough time giving up a car I will have to see what it will cost me. I just dont like the buses! i am looking forward to meeting you and everyone else who will be there at that time!

John - I don't know how you managed to get $185 airfare, but from Philly, I haven't been able to get it down below $340 ish. And that's a GOOD price I've found. I'm continually checking, just in case something pops up just below $200, in which case we would switch to flying, but I haven't seen it yet!

Didn't know you were planning on going down there for good! (I'm new around here) I am planning to head down there for good myself! Maybe 2010 or shortly thereafter. That's my goal. Wanna be a CM some day (maybe in an office?:confused3 )

 

[Johnfish]

I would love to work down there but i dont have plans to move there yet. I believe Kimmie is the one going in 2010. I am planning to put in an application there and at Universal. Then I can write off part of my trip as a job search expense and who knows maybe I will get lucky!!!

Some of you may remember that the ability for us to take this Halloween trip was contingent on Noah remaining as HEALTHY as possible and not miss any of the MEAP tests (Michigan Educational Assessment Program) that are being held this week and next.

So far... so good!! He's made it through the first two and there is only one more to go! Next Tuesday is the critical one too... if he misses it the makeup day is Monday, the 27th... and guess where we'll be??

The Happiest Place on Earth!!!!

 

[LindaR]

Hey John! I will add my two cents (add ALL that together and you may end up wealthy!) and agree with everyone else. Go, go, GO!!!

This is something for YOU. Oh, you can rationalize all the stuff about using that money for future bills....but think of this trip as the equivalent of seeing a therapist! Mickey Mouse is your therapist and this is money well spent on your health. Your mental health!

Does this make me the welcoming committee??? Then as you each arrive to live in FL you have to help welcome others???

Im sleepy... i want to go to bed... I cant... Im watching the game (and well... nevermind... those who know.. know )


John... ditto what others said

No you are not NUTS....especially since you already have it paid for. You should enjoy because you never know when it will be you last.

Also on a selfness note, I'm happy because you can still go on TOT with me to hold me down when we DROP ... Thanks John

Hey Teresa... will you hold ME down??? It's the one ride that both Noah and Ethan say... NO WAY... Paula says she's going to get me on it for sure!

I was forced on it back in May....I hated it....just didn't like the feeling of my butt leaving the seat. Mel, Timmy and others are determined to get me on it again in a few days...(yea right!)....I need someone to hold be down. At least John offered to do just that when we're there in December. Now if I can get the nerve to go on it again.

Hey John,

I too think you should go. Seems the economy will benefit and so will you.
Also, maybe there will be a bailout extension that will have a loop hole for all that go to Disney!!

Besides, Teresa and the rest really need you on TOT.

In a serious mote...hope it all works out for you. Nothing worse than losing your job.
When it happened to me about 10 years ago, it turned out for the best.
I discovered my passion and now make a nice living doing what I love.

Really hope it works out for you as well.

I was really really nervous the first time I rode it, now we ride it multiple times in a visit. It's really fun, even though our last ride this past trip was the first time I was able to do the drop without holding on to anything!

Ok, happier note... ONLY 7 days to go!!

I missed most of the game because I was watching House and Grey's Anatomy, but I flipped it on just as they were going into overtime... 27 seconds in... grr! Stupid Vancouver!
