solo trip?

[RoseRoni2]

I can not wait to go back to the World, I took my dd 5 to Disney World in March of this year (which was so busy did not see as much as I would like). I am planning another trip in Aug. 06 as a Graduation gift to myself for completing my Master's Degree. I have asked my ex-husband to join my daughter and I on this trip, he said maybe, but my daughter (who will be 7 at time of trip) said she does not want to go to Disney world if her daddy doesn't go with us. I am tempted to go to DW by myself as solo trip, but I know once my dd is at the world she will enjoy herself. Should I just take her knowing she will love the trip, or should I go solo?

That's a tough one. You are right, once you get there she will have a blast. Could you have her dad convince her to go if he doesn't? Honestly, I am going with my dd for the first time by myself and I can't imagine my soon-to-be-ex going with us! Maybe you could get her a camera of her own and tell her that she can take pictures for her dad and make him an album of the trip. Or, tell her that she can call him from WDW and tell him what she did that day. Don't know if any of that will help, but maybe!

That is a tough call.

1st Congradluations on the masters! How cool (what in? I have one in social work, dispite my dis name, it is DH who is the PhD.)

I think you should have a good time no mater what you decide.

I am also amazed you could go with your x and have a good time. Good for you. (would you split up, you alone some while DD is with dad or all 3 together.)

If you want DD with you, then take her. She is going to have to get used to Dad not always being there. If you want some time for yourself, go ahead too. It is a whole nother trip wtih out kids.

Either way good luck and let us know what you decided.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will have my Master's in Special Education. My Ex and I are good friends and we will be fine together on vacation. It is about our daughter anyways, her and I have been to the world before but he has never been, and he has not had a real vacation since our last vacation 5 years ago. I just think this will be a great vacation. He can take her one day and I can go around by myself and vise versa. Regardless what he decides we will be going back to the world. I cant imagine a better way to celebrate my Master's degree that going to Disney World.

Good for you. How great for your DD that you have such a good working relationship with your ex husband.

Are you the type of person that would like a solo trip? I don't think I would be. I like to share things with others, (jokes, stories, doing things together.) If you are a solo person then go for it. If you will miss your DD and feel lonely convince her to go with you. You are right, she will have lots of fun. Start talking about all the fun you will have and she will get on board.

Either way have a great trip!

Unfortunately I can't really offer to much advice on your situation... But I do have to say congrats on your upcoming master's degree! I just graduated in May w/a masters in health administration. It took me 3 1/2 years while working full time! I rewarded myself with a Disney trip during my last spring break!
