This "was" my week to be in WDW...

[Ms. WDW]

Oh the pain....being here and not in WDW. I've been down in the dumps all week. This was the week that I should have been in WDW and alas; I'm not. No Boardwalk, No Beaver Tails, No Dole Whips, and no cool Roller Coaster Meltdown quenching my parched throat at the Pool.

Some suggested frequenting the DIS more and reading all the
notes to keep up on "what's going on in WDW". I did..... and it drepressed me more

We had everything set in place and "poof".......we had to cancel. I was broken hearted.

Now you'd think that I had never been there before or that I'm a "younger" person. Well I've been there more times than I can remember and I'm NOT young!!

But I do love Walt Disney World Sometimes I think I'm obsessed with the place. Is that possible???

Thank you all for letting me vent. I feel a little better.

As for next year....well, lots depend on whether or not we'll be able to go.

But for now...I have the DIS Forums.

What is that???

 

[shep]

I was thinking the same thing antnee...

((hugs)) to you..

 

[Ms. WDW]

A Roller Coaster Meltdown is a modified Pina Colada. It's served at the Pool Bar over at the Boardwalk Villas. They "modify" it by floating a shot of Myers Rum on the top.

It's kinda a tradition that my dh and I have one the first day we arrive.

I hear you! I will be 49 in 25 more days and I love WDW! We don't know when we will be going back either. Right now we are hoping for spring 2004, but I just don't know. There is so much going on here. {{{{{{HUGS}}}}} I will sit and dream with you!

 

[WDWHound]

I'm sorry to hear you had to cancel. That must be so disappointing.

I suggested to Stephen that I would not die if we had to cancel our September trip. We are a little short on cash because we just found out Sarah didn't get her student loan, so we have to pay thsi semester of her college tuition and books. He hesitated a moment, and then said that he'd never do that. I was so relieved. I can't imagine what you're feeling having to cancel. Pd to you, and I hope you get to go again soon.

you know we here can feel you pain more than anyone. Sorry you had to cancel. I’ve never had to do that and but I can imagine what your going through. Hope you can find a little Disney Magic here and get through the week OK.

I’d take myself out to eat and then to the Disney Store and buy yourself something special. On the way home listen to a WDW CD in your car radio.

Find a bus and stand behind it. Take a deep breath and make believe you waiting for the next bus to the Magic Kingdom. Find a lake and listen to boat horns, close your eyes and try to find on that sounds like the boat from BW to EPCOT or MGM.

Get a blender and buy some pineapple, mix with crushed ice and sugar for your own Dole Whip.

Buy yourself a soft serve ice cream, and a rose. Take a lick and a sniff and make believe you in the Magic Kingdom in the rose garden having a well deserved break from the crowds.

Sorry it’s not the “real” thing but it can take you away – just for a while…..

LOL....I should be able to do that living here in New York City!!

Thank you all for your words of "comfort". I'm sure I'll survive this but let me tell you, it's been a real drag!!!

wdw4us - I really love your suggestions!!

Now if I can get a pint of Myers Rum........

If I do all that I wont be taken away I'll be led away

 

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

I feel your pain. We ALWAYS go to WDW in September (or October). I had it all planned out in my mind back in January, but it's not to be.

A year without Disney is like a year without...? Fun???

Keep the chin up and hope for next year.

 

[CamColt]

Oh Im so sorry for you guys!!! And I do feel your pain. We are currently planning to go in 18 days(who is counting?) but FIL is very sick. If anything happens at the last minute, which it very well could, we will have to cancel. I wont even start packing(which I should!) because Im too afraid Ill be crushed.
Heres some pixie dust that you will get to go back soon and have a great time.

 

[Ms. WDW]

CamColt - I do hope your FIL recovers from his illness. Going away not knowing what's going on sometimes can be worse than not going! I hope things work out for you and your family.

Annie&Hallie'sMom - that's kinda what happened to us. I traditionally go in August, but this past year has really been hard and it just wasn't possible.

Here's some Pixie Dust for all of us who really could use it now.

 

[Dan Murphy]

A {hug} for you, Linda, and also for anyone who, like you, has to postpone a WDW for any reason. Hang in there, always next year.

 

[cotye]

Sorry to hear you weren't able to go... But feel free to vent your frustrations here anytime! We're always here to listen.

 

[nativetxn]

{{{HUGS}}} sweetie. Just remember, these trips are never <b>cancelled</b> only <b>postponed</b>. I would be sad too

 

[Kitty 34]

So sorry you had to cancel!! {{{{{HUGS}}}} to you!

LOL antnee!

Linda,

I feel your pain. I had to cancel our Anniversary trip last November to WDW, due to DH not being able to leave his business at that time. I've never had to cancel anything ever before, and I was sad. I still haven't re-scheduled that trip, and our 5th Anniversary is coming up this November! I think I haven't re-scheduled a trip, because I'm gun shy now. I don't ever want to have to cancel again, ever!
