OK...EVERYONE BREATHE!!!!!!!
From what I've gathered, the one PP wasn't saying that she's going to give up her house for a trip to Disney. It sounded like she and her family were ALREADY in the process of putting the house up for sale. And, when they get back, it'll be on the market.
As far as being irresponsible,
haven't we ALL made some really dumb and STUPID mistakes, especially when it comes to vacations with family, a couple, or ourselves?!?!?!?
NO ONE on here is perfect because if we were, we'd find a way to live at Disney 24/7!!1
Yes, this is a public forum/discussion board, but do we seriously have to be so rude sometimes?!?!?
I think there's ways of getting points across without being rude.
AND YES!! Some of us DO NEED a vacation away from everyday life/stress!! Who doesn't?!?!? That's why we plan things called VACATIONS!!!!! Whether it be Disney, local amusement park, etc. we need to get away from everyday life and pressures to get back to ourselves and/or families!!
That's something that everyone has and needs to do from time to time. If we didn't, there would be NO Disney!! Now think about that!!!
I hate to requote myself, but I think I need to!! The PP who said something about her house going up for sale or whatever, was not saying that she's going to Disney and screw her family and their place of residence!! She was simply saying that they're selling their house because they can't afford THAT house they're in now. Doesn't mean that they don't have somewhere else to live or haven't been looking for another house that's within their means.
As for the OP, all I think they were trying to do is ask whether the economy was going to be affecting anyone on here going to Disney or booking a trip in the near future. They weren't asking us to give them grief over spending $5000 for their family vacation. The avereage Disney vacation cost anywhere from $2000-$8000 and some of you go 2,3,4 times a year!!! Ok, ok, ok...kinda jealous about that!!!
But, yes that's because you can afford it and that's fine. But, why critize someone because of something that's already done and/or they can't control it????
I mean, she would have to be the one to deal with the consequences, not us.
In this time of financial difficulties and stressful times, we should all be coming together and supporting one another, not going against each other for stupid mistakes or whatever, something as to which ALL of us have done!!
Don't we all know how it feels when we drive/walk into the parks and feel that weightlessness off of our shoulders and that feeling of just knowing that we're here, we've made it, and now it's time to realx and have fun??? That feeling of not having to worry about the outside world(bills, gas, food, etc) for at least a weeks' time??? Me, personally, LOVES that feeling!! I like being free for a couple of weeks from worries. I leave it at home at the door when i leave and then pick it up again the day after we get back.
There's 365 days in a year and I highly doubt that for 10-12 days, I'm going to be considered a bad person or irresponsible because I went on vacation with my family!!!
So, as I wrap this up, all I'm saying is this: People make decisions based on what's good for them and their families. What may work out for them, may not work out for us. but, we should NOT critize them for it. It's their life, just like it's ours!!
How would we feel if this was us being "branded" like this?!?!
Life's too short to be worried about the small stuff!!! NOW, everyone go to WDW and have fun!!!!
That's my direct order and if you don't follow it, there will be repercussions...........
