**** Thirdly, I think many of you missed the point of my OP. My original question (using that story as background) was, in essence, how could we do something nice for someone again on our upcoming trip? Instead, it seems like the background story has been beaten to death. Not only that, but it seems to have become a good excuse for meaness... and not just to me, but to each other. That really makes me sad. You know, I joined DISboards because I'm so excited about our trip and I have always loved Disney. I thought this was a great way to share that kind of excitement and appreciation for all things Disney. I just joined recently and quickly became addicted! But now... I feel like meaness and spitefulness can pervade even this. I really don't understand the backbiting and cattyness. I really don't. I simply asked how to make some extra magic for someone and suddenly people are going on and on about balloons and glitter, and (some people) being really mean to each other in the process! It is such a shame. Disney is all about magic and kindness, love and mutual respect. That isn't what happened here. What a very sad shame. I feel as if my balloon has been popped. Although, I would like to thank all the people who sent me PMs with words of kindness and support. So, now I've had my say and I'm walking away from this thread with some very useful information and perceptions. Whether, I walk away from the forums altogther, I haven't decided yet. Thank You all for your opinions.
