I used to go to WDW once or twice per year with my mom & our friend, Kevin. Over the years, my mother & I sort of lost contact with Kevin, but there was no break ... just life. When my mom passed in 2014, I drove up from Tampa to Orlando to sprinkle a few ashes on our favorite resort (shhh, don't tell WDW!) but have never gone back to the parks. I can't even watch the Christmas parade on TV w/o crying. Over the holidays, I decided out of the blue to drop a card to Kevin, to wish him well & say how much I enjoyed our travels together -- no expectations other than that he would ignore me.
Well, he wrote back & it's like time has not passed. I think I'm ready to go back to WDW, although I live 90 minutes from Anaheim now! haha
I have started to look at my old resources & can't get over how much has changed. Our must-see places are gone now -- change happens!
Have you ever had to re-learn WDW?
Where should I start?
I'm honestly not even sure I'm emotionally prepared -- does that sound crazy? WDW was our happy place. When someone says, "Just think of a time that made you joyously happy", I always land on WDW & the fun the 3 of us had, our little traditions & rituals, the stories that are too complicated to share but come back like a picture & make me laugh out loud.
Do you think it will be too hard for me going alone for the 1st time?
THANKS for your perspective & suggestions, Disney fans!
