Thank you friend, This happened yesterday, and I already have an interview scheduled for Monday! Things will be ok <3
Do you qualify for unemployment in the interim? Apply for it!
One of the best parts of staying in Port Orleans (FQ or Riverside) for me is how many paths there are to go walking. You're going to EPCOT for your park day so you can get plenty of steps in there, but PO FQ is beautiful to walk along the Sassagoula River. You can take that path right down to Riverside and take in all the sights and sounds of that resort too! Even if you switch to another resort, I highly encourage you to take a bus over to other resorts and explore what they have to offer. You may fall in love with another one and get some ideas about where you want to stay for your next trip (no matter how dismal things may look right now, there is ALWAYS another Disney trip you'll be planning for in your mind
)
Mandipandi, the very same thing happened to us before our first ever trip to WDW. We had young kids, age 5 and 7 who were looking forward to the trip. My husbands job was discontinued and they were closing the plant, I was a stay at home Mom. We debated whether he should look for a job right away, or we should go? The trip was in 2 weeks!
I would & I have. You can sit home & worry, which I have done also & I don't recommend it! So, I know from personal experience to just keep swimming. That doesn't mean you have to buy every souvneir you see. You will make choices, you will have a budget, you will budget for & sometimes choose treats & luxuries . Maybe have kids' meals at counter service restaurants to save some money, maybe bring some trail mix for snacks instead of getting something expensive every time you get peckish. I bring a Brita water bottle so I never need to buy water. And always get fudge on Main Street. Always. lol And so on. GO. Have a blast. Take photos with your favorite characters. Ride the single riders' line as often as you can. Feed your soul.
You will be just fine. And if you get the offer, awesome. You can say, "I'd be delighted to accept" [if indeed you are!] "but please know that I will be out of town these days in March." Always be suspcious of any employer who asks you to delay something in your personal life because they'd rather have you working at something that is probably not crucial for that very week.
I actually had almost an identical experience this time last year! Ugh, it sucks - I'm so sorry for what you're experiencing. To answer the question: Yes, I would go, and in fact I did. I knew that, if I cancelled it, it would only make my mental health much worse (on top of being fired and the mental pain of that). So we went on our previously-booked 4-day trip and tried not to let "the real world" intrude on it. It was surprisingly helpful to go, and I'm glad we did.
