Maybe it's just me, but I've read a couple of threads recently where one person is disappointed about the weather, and another person is disappointed about the crowds..:confused:...I wanted to put my answer in but I saw one OP asking one person not to be so rude..:mad:..So I didn't..However when we plan our 14 day vacation. We do not worry about the weather..We do not worry about crowds..If the skies open up..Let it be..If there's South American tour groups everywhere..So be it..:)....I feel lucky enough to get to be at a place where others only dream about going..So what's your take on this.?..Do you let certain things get you down, or do you just get on with having a magical time..:joyfull:...P.S. If any of the OP,s read this, please this is not a dig at yourselfs, I'am only interested how other people react to things that they hadn't planned on...Cheers..

Once I go to Disney and we are emerged in the Disney Bubble as i like to call it...nothing can ruin our trip. If it rains, we wear ponchos and keep it moving or jump in puddles, if the lines are long or it's hot we deal with it, buy a Mickey ice cream :D. We fully jump into the Magic and just enjoy Disney! I try not to let things that would normally annoy me, annoy me. We've had our hiccups during every trip - we have been lucky enough to go every year for the past 5 years - but at the end of the day we are in DISNEY and that puts a smile on our face!

I am really an impatient person so long lines Urk me. A good plan to approach all rides is crucial in my opinion. Rain is not fun but it does not "Ruin" anything. Most of the time everything is still running and if you walk into Disney expecting sun everyday then you have not been to Florida.

I actually enjoy the rain sometimes. I posted on antother thread I went to DHS on Saturday 9/21. THe crowds were low as it was. Half way throught B&TB stage show it started raining heavy. When we excited there were the masses huddled in several stores and trying to get into TS restaurants. We worked our way over towards Star Tours and decided to grab a bite to eat at Backlot Express. It was nice no line, no crowds as everyone was headed for the exits or was hiding in a gift shop as if the rain would melt them. After luch proceeded to Star Tours and the wait for the ride was non existent but the gift shop was packed. I really can not understand the fear of a little rain especially when it was so hot out that day prior to the rain starting.
The crowd complaints make me laugh as well It's Disney World one of the most traveled to destiations on Earth expect crowds and plan accordingly.
@Disvillain63 @real mad hatter - WE play a game on how many times that we overhear a parent yelling at there kids "you are the most ungreatful child on earth/ever! Bonus points when they start quating the cost of the trip.

You forget most American's do not get paid holiday, Or they are too afraid of being laid off to use the paid holiday they are granted so they let it lapse. The United States is the ONLY country in the developed world without paid or unpaid holiday as a legal right.

I guess it got lost in translation. LOL.
The always been sunny in my world is the fact I am a very happy person no matter what (a state of a Disney bubble all the time).
The fact most from here go for 14 nights is more to do with the cost and length of the flight, so whilst we are there a bit of bad weather or large queues isn't such a problem as we have more days to spread it out over, where as a 4 night visit means you have less time and need to get more done in a shorter space of time.
The reference to shorter visits was more to do with the fact you are in the same country and nothing to do with your labour laws.
I didn't forget, I never knew about your unpaid holidays, but that is a crazy situation! but you don't need me to tell you that. TTFN

I think I am allowed to be disappointed if there is rain, unreasonable crowds [I usually go in low season anyways], or some other irritant. Now, do I pout and not leave the comfy confines of my beloved CSR, hell to the no. You sack up, poncho up, and go for it. Adapt, improvise, overcome. But I think the notion of "I can't be mad because someone in the world has it worse than me" is ridiculous. Place in life or in the world is a relative thing, so even the richest guy in the world can have a bad day. We are all allowed to be petty or mad at the absurd. How we deal with it is the key...

Nothing really disappoints me. We go to enjoy the experience that is WDW - whatever the weather, crowds or anything else which gets in our way. As @Jo DeVil says we from the UK tend to visit for 14 days due to the length of the flight etc, and make the most of it:). Don't worry about the lines, or the weather, and make teh most of the time there.
