The "Why I didn't speak to my sister for a week" trip report *** Now Complete :)

[luvpooh]

I just want to say that I just caught up with your report by staying late at work (not to actually work, mind you) and I love it (sorry it is at your expense though!)
I have traveled several times to WDW with my sister, and while not quite on the same level as yours, I did dump water on her one time on the ferry to MK, and I called Delta one time during lunch at the Rainforest Cafe to try to change our flights home...you get the picture. Don't ask me what she did on either occasion, or any other occasion that she ticked me off, it just happens. And then of course, I guess to make my life a little more 'fun', I made her my maid of honor...and the stupid award goes to...
I just wanted to say that when you posted the pic of you (not sure if it was in this TR or in the pre-trip report) the FIRST thing I thought to myself was, hey she looks like the chick that plays violin for Bon Jovi! Little did I know when I thought that that you were such a devoted fan also! Just to let you know (Not rubbing it in or anything), my DH and I saw them twice last week, at Madison Square Garden. We didn't, however, go anywhere near Central Park, that had panic attack waiting to happen for me written all over it! (I don't do well in uncontrolled crowd situations!)

LOL nope never watched Survival. The thing is, I didn't want to vote her off. I was thrilled about taking her along and wanted her to have fun The craziest thing is if you ask her now, she'll tell you she had a great time !

I don't want to be on the trip she didn't enjoy but --- we want you to write about it .

Migraines are a butterfly though and I don't wish them on anyone. All I want is someplace dark and quiet.

I should be getting my teaching materials together since school starts in 3 weeks, but instead, I have been reading your TR for the past 2 hours! (and I am so glad I did!!!!) This is the best TR ever!

Alright...another small victory for you getting to enjoy Spoodles and Fantasmic! I don't have a sister, but know with utmost certainty that I would never want to travel with my SIL. Also, my parents would like to go with us next year and I have made it very clear that we are park commandos so we can avoid such situations! As always, I can't wait for the next update!

I just found your TR and I am loving it! I'm sorry to see how your trip is going so far but I am really having fun reading all about it. I can tell you that I feel the stress building in my chest hearing about you dragging your sister all around the World! I don't waste a second I'm in Disney! This would have done me in for sure! I can't wait to read more!

I am happy to see you went ahead and enjoyed your time at Spoodles. Sorry to hear about your sisters migraine, those are so horrible to endure. I can't wait to hear about the Pirate and Princess Party, I hope you made it!!

Two great updates in one day! I'm so glad you and Grumpy got to have a nice dinner and see Fantasmic. I'm afraid that early ADR is going to make another good episode...but I really hope you go!

Please, please say you got to the P&P party!

 

[cheshireqt]

I am thoroughly enjoying your TR plus it is therapy for me! I still get a little hot when I think about a family vacation with the in-laws back in 2000. Maybe I can finally let it go as it was really not so bad, well compared to your trip at least.
So now you made us feel sorry for your sister with the migraine and all but left us with a teaser about AKL early and PandP party late. The possibilities for that day to go askew are endless! Can't wait for the next installment.

What a trip! I hope that you've enjoyed the bright spots at least!!

I can't wait to read what happens next....

My family (well DH and DS specifically) made me so nutz on our last trip...This time I'm going alone...and leaving them at home
But you are making me feel guilty, because it wasn't nearly as rough an experience as you've had!!

Hi...I've been following along and it's such good writing I had to comment on it! I will be subscribing now and seeing what happens next...hopefully the trip gets a little better for you!

Loyal fan of your writing here.....

Did you ever think when you wrote this you would have over #500 posts and I can't even imagine how many views of your thread?

Great job!

When this is done, maybe you could just make up some stuff for a couple of days to wean us off

Did you read her other trip reports? I think she has links in the beginning of this one. I have been reading them to ward of the DTs while waiting for updates.

I have to admit that I am ashamed that I missed them while they were in progress.

She has others?
yippee! I know what I'll be doing later! thank you for letting me know. I will have to read them inbetween her posts.

OK, I just have to ask - Did y'all lose money on all these ADRs that you missed? You and Grumpy are just so generous, not only with the entire trip, but with souveniers, a gift card because they missed dinner, etc.

And good for you for finally putting your foot down (although that's not where I would have put MY foot!!! ).

 

[disneypartyof4]

I am SOOOOOOOOO loving your report!
We have been to disney the past 3 years. The 1st time was just the 4 of us fell in love with disney. So next time my inlaws wainted to go and they brought my husbands teenage neice and nephew I thought this will not be so bad, Well I planned everything, and having dinner together and told them they can do whatever during the day and meet up for dinner. They kepted saying we will do whatever you do, ok fine. Well we knew what we wanted to do they they don't want to do that so they wait for us, and I tell them you can go do something else while we do this and they would say thats okay we will just wait and follow you Well it was hard to enjoy anything because they are waiting on us!! One day we had a ressie for o'hana for breakfast and they were not ready so we left boy they were mad. Last year we went ourselves and agian had a great time! It is a pain to worry about everyone else and if they are enjoying themselves. This year going on a disney cruise and trying universal JUST US!!!! I can't wait to hear more of your trip!!!!!

Can I ask what her kidney problem is? (As a kidney patient I'm always curious about others with kidney problems) Mine is polycystic kidneys - I am currently on dialysis awaiting a transplant....

 

[linmc1129]

I just read your whole trip report. I am so sorry that it wasn't what you had hoped for. I would be upset if I did all that planning and people were so lazy. I can't wait for more. It is so funny (probably not so funny for you).

One day I'd love to visit France. My dd is in the french immersion program here in southern Louisiana. After 8th grade, they go on a trip to France. Hopefully we'll get to go before then (she just finished kindergarten).

Can't wait for more!!

 

[whogirl'smom]

Well, I evidently didn't finish the double and a half trippie, so I'm totally enjoying it this afternoon! I couldn't figure out why until I looked at the dates--two deaths in our family/friend the week of Thanksgiving and I just didn't feel like dis'ing for several weeks. But I am loving it now!

 

[Simba22]

OK so I've been trying to post for 2 days but I'm at work and people keep bothering me! I'm trying to DIS here, people!

Great pics from Fantasmic! Looks like you were in a really good spot!
