Quote: we decided to blow everything off and go to Disney World (sorry, I know many of you now hate me)
As a huge WDW fan, I am definitely jealous. My D hasn't been since just before her 3rd B-day, and she's now 4 1/2, so she's been wanting to go badly for a long time. I've been asking for WDW tickets and Disney Dollars for the last two years for my birthday and Christmas, so I've already got $462 of trip expenses out of the way.
I've actually been planning to take W and D when W ends the A (we even discussed this), but I decided this morning (before reading your post, oddly enough) to take D on a trip this spring, whether W is ready to come or not. Why should I wait for W to end the A when that could take forever?
I think I'm going to plan a trip for the last week of April or the first two weeks of May (crowds are moderate, because Easter break is over and school isn't out yet).
I haven't been that great of a father since W left, and I really want to spend some time connecting to her in the way that only Disney can do it.
So, I'm not doing this primarily to manipulate my W (I know that is a pet peeve of yours, GH ), but it won't hurt anything that she will fell horribly left out and miss being part of a family and taking those trips that we've taken in the past. I really believe that scheduling the trip might even cause her to put in that date as a self-imposed deadline for ending it with the OM. We'll see, but my D and I are going to have fun at Disneyworld no matter what.
BTW, I know that you probably already know this, but it was inevitable that the parks would be crowded this weekend, as lots of kids are on spring break. The secret is to get to the park when it opens, before the crowds build, and in the evening when most have gone home. Also, you want to be aware of the Extra Magic Hours that Disney gives to resort guests. If a park has Extra Magic Hours for a particular morning or evening, it will be considerably more crowded later in the morning or earlier in the evening, respectively.
The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)
