oI thought it had to do with his anxiety issues.......Decompress Safe Area I would have never thought smoking.. I mean he just got off the plane stuffed full of people and now going to be stuffed into a bus.........Makes sense, right?
I thought he wanted a few mins alone before continuing and the DSA was a code word between them.
I was thinking the same thing too since she said he suffers from anxiety. Now we know!
It’s a bit of both I guess. He uses the cigarette breaks to have quiet alone time. I just would like the quiet alone time to not be accompanied by a cancer stick...
Just found your report and read your pre-trip report too. We were there 9/2-9/9. We were driving back to TN so left at like 2:00 AM Saturday due to all the evacuation traffic. Ended up being the right decision. Only took an extra hour to get home and only one issue with not being able to get gas. Our friends were with us and their parents ended up leaving on Wednesday and had a much harder time getting home. We were at Epcot this Wednesday, and the the Halloween party Thrs (MK actually all day), then HS in the AM and MK to end it Friday afternoon/night. Packed and had 2 hours of sleep before we started our drive back.
That’s quite a trip! Glad you guys made it out and home safely.
Your DD is adorable!! I used to suffer anxiety issues bad... after years of it they sort of just went away. I do have to take medicine to fly, but that is it now. Hopefully your DH's works itself out too. It can be awful and life changing.
Thank you! DH has suffered from anxiety since he was a young person. I think after we became parents it peaked. The meds help, but we’d both like to see him only need them in stressful situations, like flying. Glad yours lessened so much, means there is hope for him.
I love all the princess pictures with your daughter. She is adorable. I'm sorry to hear what happened after dinner. That is some kind of nightmare. Did you ever find out what food caused the problem?
Thank you! The Fairytale Hall was one of our favorite spots, and we visited a few times this trip.
As for dinner the seafood salad and the odd orange goat cheese had to have done it, as that was all I ate that no one else ate. I was so disgusted by it all I never bothered with taking any action after that night.
Nice morning at MK! Totally agree with you about the ropedrop show. It is nice, but not quite what it used to be.
I wish they could do both, or two shows with different characters.
I'm glad things worked out so that you could get to Peter Pan before the line got too long. You rarely hear of it being down when the park opens, but knocking out a couple of the dark rides with longer lines seemed to work well for you.
We had good luck with lines this trip, much to do with the storm, I’m sure.
I can see why she'd call IASW Disney World. It is that quintessential Disney attraction that has been around forever and everyone knows. As much of an earworm as it tends to be, it just isn't a Disney trip without riding it.
I agree, as much as DH hates the song, as most do, it is SO Disney. Just wholesome family fun!
I think it was a good idea to split up so your DH could do some work and get away from the park. Definitely want to try to get as much park time as you can, especially with the potential for lost park time coming up.
Oh yeah. Disney is my thing, more than his, for sure! After this trip, I know, 110% that there will always be times we are there without him. And that works for us, since DD and I are so similar.
Sorry things didn't work out so you could meet A&E or do more in EPCOT. We had that exact same experience waiting for our table at Akershus a couple of years ago when we were the last seating. Sorry the princesses were lackluster, but that just seems to be how it is at these character meals. I mean they're either, as you described, hi - picture - bye, or they're just above and beyond... not much in between. It's too bad all but Snow White were a letdown.
C’est la vie! We had other wonderful interactions, actually some of the best character dining I’ve ever experienced on this trip. This was just a hard start for us.
What a way to end the night... oh man, I just can't even imagine. That's awful. I know it had to have been a rough night, but I hope it was a quick recovery!
Lol! I felt like the kid you saw at CM! I recovered pretty fast, but not as fast I’d have liked on my WDW vacation.
