My OH found out last Sept that he was going to be made redundant May 2015. We had planned to do 10 days at WDW, 7 days at Uni,Seaworld etc and the 7 days at Clearwater. We do this every 2 years. Being optimistic we booked our WDW trip anyway, 10 nights at the WL our favourite resort, the rest we would play by ear and see how the year went.
As the months have gone by we've not spoken about it, probably for the obvious reason of not facing reality. The other day I realised our trip would be only 5 months away, we haven't planned or booked the other trips or even saved. My OH hasn't got another job lined up.
I've continued to research what's happening at WDW, what's in refurb, etc. I've still been following relevant WDW Twitter and web sites and when needing a boost I've searched Amazon for Disney t-shirts etc for the trip. As we had booked the WDW trip I thought we had paid it.
I bit the bullet the other day and asked him if he still thought we were going, he didn't say the word "no" but everything he said meant "no". "We'll try next year", we'll go somewhere else here in the UK" blah blah. As it happens we have only paid the deposit and he's willing to let it go.
When he realised how upset I was he now says "stay positive, we'll see what happens". But in my heart I know we can't possibly save the money we need in 5 months especially as he has no definate job to go to.
My only true happiness in WDW and Florida related things. Life is tough and generally depressing for me but WDW was always the thing that kept me positive, my home is full of past WDW photos and souvenirs, my social media sites all WDW related. I'm devastated this won't happen, even more so as we booked places and dates, Sept 8th I am supposed to fly to Orlando.
I have a constant lump in my throat and nothing to look forward to anymore.
