Going through Withdrawal <vent>

CaraMia · 05-19-2006

Sorry, just have to get this out. Our last trip was the end of last October. I think this is the longest we have gone without a weekend trip to see the Mouse. Tomorrow is my birthday and I REALLY REALLY wanted to go. (My mother the other day even asked if I wanted to head out to WDW this weekend...she and my dad are going through withdrawal too). Unfortunately, we had to get 4 tires for the minivan <credit card> and were informed by the Nissan dealer that we need to get front and back brakes soon. Dh and I have have seasonal tickets but we still have to get one for ds. So that would be $182 through AAA, plus the cost of gas ($45 per way), tolls both ways ($15 or so per way) plus the cost of a hotel room and food. Needless to say, unless dh gets a side job tonight bringing home at least $300, my birthday tomorrow wont be spent at WDW. How disappointing!

That is frustrating.

I don't know what elese to say except maybe you could win the lottery.

unamadreditre · 05-19-2006

So sorry this rough patch has to coincide with your birthday. Better to get ahead on all of your bills first, then you will really be able to enjoy yourself at WDW without worrying that you are putting yourself deeper in debt. I know you are disappointed but try to count your blessings and enjoy your birthday with your husband and son.

Pixie dust sent your way for a very happy birthday!!

twist1980 · 05-19-2006

Sorry to hear that.

But I hope you have a Happy Birthday anyways! Maybe your Birthday present to yourself could be to start planning a weekend trip in the next few months!

E&B's Mom · 05-19-2006

You'll get there soon, just not now. Have a happy birthday anyway!

mandapanda74000 · 05-19-2006

so sorry to hear about all this right at the time of your birthday. all those "unexpected" bills can really hit hard sometimes. got a few myself right now, so i know

but anyways, have a happy birthday, whatever you decide to do. i know you'll have fun.

**Dana** · 05-19-2006

Aww Cara...that sitnks. I am so sorry that you won't get to WDW for your birthday. How about postponing it...I do it all the time. Wait a bit and make some weekend WDW plans and also celebrate your day. It's not the same of course, but it's better than nothing right? I hope you find some magic tomorrow.

**dhoughton** · 05-19-2006

Sorry about missing Mickey on your birthday.....hope you have a Magical one nonetheless!!

**MissDisney** · 05-19-2006

Sorry! That's a drag. But Happy Birthday anyway!

KittieKChick · 05-19-2006

Make your DH cook you a disney birthday dinner or breakfast. Mickey pancakes, a recipe from allearsnet.com from your fav restaurant?

I realize most men don't cook very well, or just refuse to try

, but if he can, hey it's worth a shot. Just try to have fun anyway. Happy birthday!

**llama** · 05-19-2006

Why is the expensive stuff never fun? Tires! Bah!! Sorry you won't be spending your birthday with Mickey - but I hope it's a happy one just the same!

dznygrl · 05-19-2006

Awww Cara that's a bummer!

But I agree with Dana...maybe you could postpone your bday celebration a little bit?

Then you could still enjoy it at Disney, even if it's a late celebration. Better late than never, right?

Whatever you do, have a GREAT birthday!

trailblazer · 05-19-2006

Sorry to hear that. Maybe everything will work out and they will surprise you. We could sure wish that would happen for you.

Amelia's Man · 05-19-2006

Happy Birthday!!
And, look on the bright side: at least you live THAT close where a weekend trip, or even a day trip isn't entirely out of the question! (no airfare or hotels to worry about!) I'm sure you'll get there soon, and then you can celebrate all over again!

catfish1999 · 05-19-2006

Sorry that you have dumb ol' expenses that are keeping you from the mouse.

Just plan a "Unbirthday" celebration when your finances get a bit better! (hope it's real soon!)

Meantime, have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
