From: lenniemc on 15 Apr 2010 14:50 I get so darned tired of defending myself because I love Disney and I go frequently. And by my so called "friends" inquiring about my upcoming May "solo" trip. They make me feel like I have 2 heads or something because I'm going solo - or they'll say - are you going to meet "Your Friends" - which is you guys at RADP because they find it totally wierd to go meet a bunch of people that you talk to on line. Oh well, they're the ones with the problem. Just wanted to rant a little bit. 32 days until my trip and I can't wait. I'll be the one walking around in the parks with 2 heads. <g> Linda

My wife and I go one or twice a year, plus I usually have a solo trip as well. As for meeting RADP (and other) online friends ... it's wonderful that we now have a technology that even allows us to have friends that we would never even know in the old days. If you would have had a pen pal back then - would anyone have thought it was strange? You may know that I just came back from a trip to WDW that might be termed "solo" as my wife didn't come with me. But as for meeting online friends ... it was planned since an online friend was coming from Australia to see WDW and this trip was all about meeting her and being her host and guide. So what am I saying? Don't worry about what your non-Disney friends think ... go ... have a good time ... and maybe we will meet there one day. Mark

We all like to waste our vacations in different ways. For instance, I can't understand those who like to cruise. Can't understand those who go to Vegas year after year. I *really* can't understand those who want to come to someplace like Chicago for a vacation. (I won't even mention those who just want to lay around in front of the TV...) PiC was one of those who couldn't understand wanting to meet someone you've only known online. (But I think a lot of you are changing her mind... <laugh>) I'm sure some of you can't understand why I like to jump in a car and drive 5000 miles across the country. Some of you may not even understand why I'd go to Disneyworld and not be in the theme parks 12 hours a day. So, Linda, instead of thinking you have two heads, just pretend your friends only have half of one... jmnsho. HAhahahaha...

I'll be the one > walking around in the parks with 2 heads. <g> > Here's a story I tell whenever I'm confronted with "You're going again?" I had a co-worker who repeatedly questioned why I was returning to visit Walt Disney World. Every time I announced Id be on vacation next week, Id get a sarcastic Disney again? and Why? Has anything there changed? After many futile attempts to explain my rationale, I finally got through by asking him where he liked to vacation. He spoke lovingly of a spot on Cape Cod and a quaint little inn on the ocean with a wonderful restaurant you get the idea. I asked how many times he had been there. Six or seven he said. And were planning another visit this summer. I asked, Why do you keep going back? He started to answer, We love it there. Its right on the ocean and there are these two restaurants and and a look of understanding came over his face. He may not have agreed with me, but he understood. |
