Straight to the point...

Would you loose a day (planned as 7 nights/8 days) at WDW to attend your 10 YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION? :shrug:

This is my dilemma and I have no idea what I should do. What would you do??

Easy- No. But I'm the wrong one to ask. I haven't attended any of my reunions, and my 20th is this September and will take place 15 minutes from my home, and I'm not going.

Only you can decide this... if you want to go that badly, alter your plans and go. If not, don't.

The question doesn't have relevance for me because I didn't graduate. My hubby did but also would be a bad person to ask since he's never cared to attend any of his reunions either. In his words, "The people I cared about in high school I've stayed in touch with. I didn't enjoy high school, was glad to be done with it, and don't care to waste time sitting around with all the people I didn't like & didn't like me comparing notes to figure out who wins the prize for 'Most Successful'. I'd rather go out with my family or friends."

That's a personal decision that only you can make.

That's a tough one. Do you have a lot of friends from HS you want to reconnect with? Is there someone you would get to see (that lives far away) that you haven't seen in a long time? You can always go back to WDW, but you won't have another 10 yr. reunion. It's really up to you.

Well it depends if this is your first reunion or how important it is for you to see your old classmates, me personally i would'nt waist one of my whole days at disney for a couple hours to chop it up with old teachers and school mates, so in my opinion you keep your 7nights 8days trip the same

Nope! My 10th reunion will be in a couple of years and everyone I cared enough to keep in touch with is on Facebook, and I see them occasionally anyway. I probably wouldn't go even if I didn't have anything else planned, and honestly, anyone I would care to see probably wouldn't either :ROFLOL:
But that's a pretty personal decision, IMO. If the reunion is something that's important to you, you should go. It doesn't happen all the time, while you'll probably be going back to Disney some time soon =)

Not even close. Although I haven't gone to any of my reunions because I don't care that much to see any of the people from high school. In my opinion Disney trumps everything else. :)

I personally wouldn't do it. But I haven't been to any of my reunions and my 25th was last month. Now my hubby was ticked that we couldn't go to his. I don't even live in the same state I went to high school in which bums me out greatly because it was in Florida.:cry:

Like someone mentioned before it would depend on if there were people you really wanted to see. I look at it this way, is there someone you would love to see because if you wait for another that person may not be around (sadly in more ways than one I'm talking about). I didn't have to choose between WDW and my reunions but I was so happy to see some people that I wouldn't trade it for the world. Disney isn't going anywhere but you never know how long old friends will be around, no matter what age everyone is. :eek:

I wouldn't waste my time with it. I wasn't very popular in High School and only had a handful of people that I really talked to and only one of them was at the 10 year reunion that I attended. As for everyone else there, not much had changed since High School. Same cliques all chatting it up at their own tables and my wife and I sat and talked to the same guy all evening, and, as in High School, I wasn't cool enough for hardly anyone to pass the time of day with. Add to that the fact that I have been ignored more than once on myspace and facebook when trying to reconnect with different classmates, so apparently what my classmates think of me would in no way be worth shaving off a day from my WDW vacation just to have them snub me all evening. :ROFLOL:

Of course, that's my advice based on MY experiences. But if you were the big stud football star or the popular cheerleader (sorry I can't remember from your post if you are male or female) and have lots of friends that you want to reconnect with, then it may be worth it. But if, as in my case, you spent your high school years on the outside looking in, then to heck with them guys, and just enjoy every day of your vacation.

I think it really depends on how badly you want to go to your HS reunion. If you really enjoyed HS, have stayed in touch w/HS friends- even if it's just on Facebook and you'd like to see everyone in person, and/or really just want to go out of curiosity--- it might be worth it to cut your trip short. Otherwise...it's probably not worth it and the time and $ would be better spent at Disney.

If it were my reunion conflicting w/Disney- I'd probably skip it, but that's only b/c my feelings about HS are lukewarm at best and the people I've reconnected with from HS plan informal reunions 2-4x per yr for multiple classes, so there's not as much pressure to make it to the milestone reunions.

Either way- do what is going to be most enjoyable for you. :wave:

My vote is definitely no. My 20 yr reunion is in a few weeks and I don't really want to go. Facebook convinced me that all those differences you had in high school are only exacerbated by age. :ROFLOL:

But then again, there really isn't much that would warrant a day off of my Disney vacation.

Have a great trip, whatever you decide.

NO! i have never been to any of my high school reunions, just missed my 20th. why see a bunch of people i didnt care about in the first place. I have my close friends which i see every year, i dont need a reunion to see those who were the in click to see that they are now the outsiders. You sow what you reap. Too bad for them. I would take wdw any day over people who thought they were something and now are not. And i was the jock, but didnt let it go to my head. And now im a disney geek!
