Total Trip May Be Ruined

[BeckWhy]

Since about October, my older sister and I have been planning a trip to Disney World. Finally we booked it in December. We are supposed to go January 6th. Who knows if that's happening now. Last night we got into a fight and she was completely determined not to go. And to make me pay for EVERYTHING. (Even though I think, if I choose to go by myself, my dad will still make her pay her half, since that was the prior arrangements.) But the entire night after we got into this little arguement, she just sat and stared at me. Then later she started to cry, like I told her she couldn't go or like I was so mad at her or something (which I wasn't cuz right after it happened, I could care less). And even if she was SOOOO worried that something bad was going to happen between us, she can still go, go on her own (As I would) and the only time she would really have to see me was at the hotel at night.
But I feel that she was being totally unrational about the situation. I rarely get angry at anyone, and when I do, I'm fine 5 minutes later. And I have such a great tolerance for people, that I could go to Disney with her and she could practically be however mean to me that she wanted, and I would take it and still have fun (while we were there of course).

But anyways, I'm really scared I'm going to lose my trip now, and even more so my money. I will go by myself, but I can't afford it if I have to pay for the whole room.


Sorry for venting. LOL. I read how you guys can help make people feel better about certain situations.

Good Luck BeckWhy,
Sorry to hear about your sisterly dispute and so close to your travel time. If your sister is like some she maybe is hot headed and once she has cooled off things will be alright again. I know I would not want to miss a trip to WDW, regardless of any disagreement I might have with a family member. Nothing seems worth missing out on an opportunity to have fun with "Mickey Mouse and the Gang!"
Hope everything works out for the both of you and that you enjoy your vacation.

Can you talk to her at all? On Dec. 22nd, my sister basically decided that I didn't like her and her family and was refusing to come to Christmas dinner at my house. I was so sad, upset, and sick to my stomach. I'm not like you--it doesn't roll off, I fret. Anyway, I asked her to come to my house for dinner (just the two of us) on the 23rd. After 3 hours of discussion, crying, yelling, and digging up crap from the past 30 years, we came to a better understanding of each other. We are now in the process of rebuilding our relationship.

I approached it that I did not want to ruin the holidays for everyone, including us, by having this "thing" between us. Maybe you could say something like not wanting to ruin the trip because of whatever is between you. Remember, like you sister, she was determined that she was NOT coming to my house for Christmas dinner.

It's worth a shot. Best of luck to you--I know that you must be so disappointed. But hang in there--hopefully all will be well and we will see you down there!!!! We also leave on the 6th!!!

Of course, it would be nice to patch up things with your sister. But if not, have you ever gone solo? If not, you're in for a very pleasant surprise. I've gone solo 6 times now, and I enjoy it more and more each time. If you end up going alone, just wanted to mention that you WILL have a lot of fun!

Solo Disney is really fun; but I have a feeling that your sister will calm down and things will work out for you.

Best,
Sheri

Beck-
You need to have a sit down with your sister. There are only a few things in this life worth fighting over. (life, liberty etc.) The rest is just a bunch of crap. You and your sister need to focus on the good in your relationship, agree to disagree, and get over it and get on with your lives. I don't know what your disagreement was about, but if you two agree to put it aside and go have fun, you will see it wasn't worth fighting over in the first place. (unless is was one of those really big things!) But anyway....you will see few things in life are permanent and lasting-family is one of those. Now go sit on your sister and make her like you again!
Have fun, and let us know what happened.

Thanks everyone. I agree with a lot of what was said. I did want to talk about it, and I tried, but she didn't. But we are still going. She seems to be "cooled off" more now than she was earlier. My main thing was to go and just have fun. I don't want differences to get in the way.

LoL! I kinda wanted to go Solo. I was talking to my boyfriend today and he's like, I don't want you to go solo. And I asked why you think somethings gonna happen to me. And he's like its not that I think, it just that I don't WANT anything to happen to you. lol But he said he would try to go if my sister wouldn't. AWW

Joshs Mom! We're going the same time! Maybe we'll run into each other.

Where are you staying.
