Are You Happy Or Grumpy.

[Spikerdink]

One ride would never make or break my vacation. There are things I really enjoy - Soarin and Splash come to mind - but if they were not available, I would sigh and move on and maybe find something I hadn't done before....

The father in the story sounds like he needed a laxative to improve his disposition.

My dear wife would say I'm Doppy, but when something is broken she always calls on me to fix it, so I guess you could call me Doc. I have given her Grumpy T-ee shirts, as well as Crabby< shirts from Mickey's Philharmagic, in the past. My son would be Sleepy.

I'm Happy from the instant I step off the plane at MCO, then turn into grumpy when I return to MCO to leave. I would never let any ride come between me and my Disneyhappiness!!! I'm not there for one particluar thing so why let one thing bug you! I always feel bad for people wasting time and energy complaining.

WDW is my HAPPY place! When we were there in 09' Space Mountain was down. We were a bit disappointed but, there is so much to see & do that it didn't bother us! Test Track was down last time we were there & it didn't bother us one bit!

I'm always happy when I'm at the world. I'm just thankful and glad to be there. It can be a little disappointing when favorite attraction is closed,but theres so much more to see and do there I forget all about it.

Thats it,I'am outa here.Taxi.......

Pssttt.....Just in case, it twas a joke. I don't let the kids use a calculator. Math skills are too important.

I'm always happy and Disney! But sometimes when it comes to my parents.....

I've been when Space Mountain and Splash was under a refurb. It wasn't the end of the world. Yeah my kids were looking forward to them, but we managed.

Life is too short to be Grumpy at WDW or anywhere else. If you can't enjoy the trip for the cost than maybe it wasn't the best choice for you for your vacation destination. Regardless, the money is spent if you're through the turnstiles. Go enjoy yourself. One of the peripheral things I enjoy about a WDW vacation is that it's basically aid for before I set foot on the grounds. Sure i have tips, souveniers, snacks, etc.. but the meat and potatoes of the thing is long since paid for. No bill to come in the mail a month after i get home or anything like that. No regrets, just magical memories and the anticipation of coming back.

Disappointed yes, grumpy no, HAPPY to be there!

 

[ddbowdoin]

any parent who complains in front of their kids about the cost of a vacation is a tool bag...

and I should say, it's a little different when they're older... 16 or 17 but if you have a 10 year old let him be a 10 year old and enjoy himself. I see parents ruin the magic ALL the time whenever I am down at Disney, its pretty sad.

It's hard to tell whether guests were more disappointed with Test Track being closed for refurb, or with Tron Track being open.

 

[C&D]

I had a tee shirt made (with the Dwarfs) and had added (in text): "I am all of us".

So saying that, I guess, it depends.

Morning Folks. Last year whilst standing at the front of the rope drop at Epcot there was this American family standing right behind us.Mum,Dad,& three kids,ages around 6 to 12. The mother & three kids were in hyper mood but the father had a face as long as a horse.He then blurted out " Iam looking forward to Test Track " but when i told him it was closed due to refurbishment. Well he looked at me and asked " where did you hear that from?" So I told him. He then yelled at his family complaining what a waste of money for the ticket,his face was Mr Angry.I felt sorry for his wife & kids as I could see by their expressions that today wasn't going to be magical.So when you visit the parks,what is your attitude if something is broke down or out of order? Are you a Grumpy Dwarf or a Happy Dwarf.? For me I wouldn't let it get me down.Theres too much magic in the parks to let it spoil my day.

Although DH isnt a huge Disney Dork like me, he actually gets excited about a week out from arrival, and really enjoys himself whilst at Disney. Id have to say he is Grumpy when Im booking the trip but turns that frown upside down the closer our arrival date gets.

upon checkout I am a little grumpy... not the fact that we're leaving but the bill! But alas, I have no kids which makes me even more nervous about how that bill will multiply when the little ones come soon.

Even when your future wee ones are there on vacation with you, as you check out, you will hear "when are we coming back??!?!?" LOL

 

[WDW 3]

Happy, Happy, Happy! I am well aware of the refurbs and if a ride goes down we just move on and check back.

my honest goal is to be a DVC member around that time in life... what a savings in the long run.

You'll love it when you see your family of 6 bairns enjoying all the Disney magic.
