Are you flying in?
Yes, I am... or was. Or might be? As of right now I'm crying and eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's trying to decide whether or not to take my dog to my parents or just take my lorazepam and go to bed at 4pm...

Is it on Southwest? Honestly, the fact that you aren't trying to drive there is a good thing. Ice cream, check, sense of humor, double check!Yes, I am... or was. Or might be? As of right now I'm crying and eating an entire pint of Ben & Jerry's trying to decide whether or not to take my dog to my parents or just take my lorazepam and go to bed at 4pm...at least the sense of humor is starting to come back after 3 days...
Great reminder! Let's help each other folks. It's Disney!I know it's a very uncertain time and emotions are peaking. But please remember to keep it friendly.
If you don't like what someone says there is always the option to ignore/block the poster.
I completely sympathize as I'm in a similar boat. As I mentioned a few pages ago, clearly I made a mistake in booking now and forgetting insurance but it's the only trip I have ever booked and I'm not from anywhere that ever gets hurricanes. I genuinely, truly didn't know, and all the research I did just said "omg wow September so great, kids in school, low crowds, still warm, great!" Nothing that indicated I had such a high likelihood of having my entire trip devastated by the worst storm to have ever been recorded in the area...
I know lots of people here are veteran travelers, FL residents, people who can afford to make changes and I get it, I'm sure it's frustrating to see people like myself mope around. But I'm very low income and already mentally fragile on a good day, and seeing "you should have known better" is like twisting the knife. I do want to sincerely thank everyone who has been so helpful and informative, I've learned a lot and still trying to figure out what to do. I am leaning towards just going at this point because I don't know that I'll be able to cancel and afford to go again and only have til tomorrow morning to choose. I should have known better, but I didn't, and nothing can change that now.

This is our 12th trip to DW in September/October. This has never happened to us before. There is NO way you could have guessed this. Don't let insensitive people get you down. We are suppose to leave Thursday. We will see...
At WDW now. Arrived yesterday, scheduled to be here until Tuesday the 12th. Staying at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. Can't decide if I should hunker down here and cross my fingers that things will be clear by Tuesday afternoon, or try to book a flight home for... Friday?
Hate to cut the trip short but... oy! Stressed out by this hurricane thing!
I'd stick around. You're there now and they'll look after you if the worst does hit.
The humor is only coming back after I ate the ice cream... looks like not eating all day for anxiety doesn't help my mood, shocker there! I definitely would not be driving. Our reliable vehicle was totalled 2 weeks ago by a texting-while-driving teenager. Which just makes this situation all the worse. It was only worth a grand through insurance as it was old and ugly, but worth much more than that to us of course.
And yes, Southwest. I should be able to change to leave much later in the week at no cost, and we're staying at all-star music and rooms are available for next week still, so should be ok. Would be more affordable than having to try and reschedule to November when I'm sure rates are higher. I just don't know if the Disney vacation I have fought tooth and nail for for the past 2 years is literally worth dying over.
On a side note, if you listen to WISHES right now feeling this way, compared to Happily Ever After, you realize who the true king of all Disney shows truly is

I feel for you. I know planning a Disney trip, going on them, ect gives me something to look forward to in life as well. And it can lift my spirits at times when nothing else can.there is no need to be nasty. like i mentioned in a previous post, i have depression, very severe depression, and this trip is/was basically my livelihood. it was kind of the only thing i had to look forward to. making these plans and everything gave me a reason to be happy. trying to actually make it to a new trip date, is going to be very hard for me. i know for some people it's just "oh it stinks", but for me, it's so much more than that.
It sounds like you have a plan thought out that should work. When you are ready to call Disney, specifically ask for guest services. That will take you to the person who should know what they're talking about.
