As I said, I know it's "just a hotel." There are many more important things to be upset about in life, and I'm sorry if y'all took it as I'm some spoiled brat. Y'all will have to please excuse my brief pity party on the matter. I used to love CBR, but it has been ruined for me now that it's been Nemo-ified. We all spend a
lot of time in our Resort. Theme is very important to me, and they screwed that up completely for me at CBR (i.e. Australia is not in the Caribbean). A very unpleasant time in my life is associated with the last time I went to Riverside, and I do not want those memories to hit me in the face again. My family hates Coronado Springs and refuse to return there, and my dad does not like French Quarter at all. So that leaves Nemo rooms or bad memories. Neither are appealing to me.
We as a family are very tight with money. We give more money to charity and churches than we spend on our annual main vacation, which is how we think it should be. We spend next to nothing on ourselves the entire year, except during vacation. Even during vacation, we eat breakfast in the room all but 2 days, we split CS meals, and we usually just order an appetizer and dessert on the rare occasions we eat at a TS. We could not in any way shape or form afford a Deluxe again for the forseeable future, but with the 7 for 4 deal, even staying in WL we'd have paid roughly $1400 less than what we paid this year for our trip. That would put us right at the amount we almost always pay for our WDW vacation. So, I was let down that they don't want to go there.
And beyond that, this is likely to be my last Disney trip for the forseeable future. As long as I stay in the job I should be placed in next year around April-May, I will only get vacation time during part of July, and a couple days here and there for major holidays. I will get
zero vacation days during the year otherwise. I cannot go to the World in July because I can't handle the heat. So, my family can continue going if they want to, but I cannot. This was my last chance indefinitely to either return to WL or try out AKL or even my dad's 30+ year pipe dream of the Poly. I'm lucky to have ever gone to WDW even once, but as I'm watching my vacation dreams fly out the window for 10 or more years, yes, I'm a bit down in the dumps.
I love him trying to drag Sully into his "den" too. That's a crackup.
Has anyone e-mailed this to the White House yet?
It'll be at least that by inauguration day.
