Update. I have talked to my friend from the Disney meeting

[browneyes]

From your email, I would've assumed you were cancelling the trip too, since you mentioned your health was an issue, instead of saying she was the issue. I'm sure if she came along for the trip, there would be a lot of animosity, so it's probably for the best that she doesn't go with you.

If someone was paying for me to go on a trip to WDW, I would certainly make every effort to come to the planning meetings and such to at least show some gratitude for paying for the trip.

If you had not asked her not to come, the trip probably would have been very uncomfortable and have a lot of squabbles and such that were unnecessary. The trip had the signs of problems with what happened already.

I feel she knew what she had done and how she was acting. I felt I did not want to hurt her feelings by telling her that I had replaced herm and thought my letter was nice. No I did not tell her that I had cancelled, only that I was going to rethink things. Now if she had a financial investment here, I would have done this in a different way.

Anywho it is done and I now feel much better. I am sad that all of this even happen. Hind site 20/20, I never ever expected anything like this from her, and I even told her so.

Time now to let sleeping dogs sleep.

Just want to apologize and say I now understand there is more to this than just the missed meeting, which is what I thought the whole thing was about in the first place.

I think you did the right thing, and I know it was very hard to do but it had to be done.

It is your trip (sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity) and it would have been terrible for you to have it ruined by someone whose presence would drive you crazy.

Have a wonderful trip. I'll be there at the same time. If I see a group of 8 ladies having a great time I'll wave and say hello.

You did the right thing! If someone told me off and still expected to take a trip with me, buddy I'd tell them they can still pack and go "somewhere else"...

You don't need to justify it to anyone. You did what's right for you. She wasn't a very good friend. Now go and have some fun!!!

Dear Arminnie,

I would love to meet you. We will be in the Magic Kingdom on Saturday. We will be wearing our matching T-Shirt's. Also we will now be staying at The Yatch Club as Disney needed to make a change on our Resort. Please PM me.

When I read your post I was completely lost. I never knew that you were paying for a trip and never read any of your other posts, concerning this issue. However, I have to agree with the majority of the people, your letter was not clear.

I am currently rescinding my invitation as I take time for myself to rethink this trip. It just is not working for me at the present time.

When I read this sentence I came to the conclusion that the trip was off. You indicated in your first paragraph, “My health must come first!” Then you state you are rescinding your invitation because it was not working for you at the present time. I had thought your health was failing.

I’m confused with this sentence,

I understand that your children are important in your life, and I would hate for this trip to interfere with your other obligations.

Again, I revert back to your quote, “My health must come first!” After reading the full posting I now know all the complications you’ve had, concerning your health, and I agree that your health is VERY important to you. However, that’s your priority ---- PLEASE DON’T FLAME ---- not your friends. Her children and obligations are important to her and your health is important to you.

I think your friends question, “Are you cancelling completely?” is a valid question. As I stated at the beginning your letter was not specific. You did reply, “Yes, with you I am.” This is direct, unlike your fist letter, which she now understood.

I think the offer you made was very generous and I would have made every effort to keep everyone happy, if it was me that was invited. A free Disney trip and all I had to pay was $60 for a limo, I could live with that and not complain about the cost.

BTW, I would love to take her place on this trip! <a href='http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb008' target='_blank'><img src='http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/4/4_17_4.gif' border=0></a> I have been dying to stay at the GF!
