For goodness sakes, disney is a business in the real world. It isn't an actual fantasyland.
Really? I'm so sad to hear that.

I'm a Floridian, I live in this state. Also, this isn't about violence...it's about a lack of Disney spirit.
Try living here, OP. In the spirit of honesty, your post struck a nerve.
I hope you get out of your funk and are able to enjoy your trip to Disney. Like others have said, maybe try a different vacation spot in August, and then hopefully for your next trip to WDW you'll find your Disney spirit has returned and is stronger than ever!

Yes, I know this. She's mentioned it a few times throughout the thread.
I meant try living here in Orlando. Where I live. Where at times the grief and sadness smothers you to the point you can't breathe.
Hopefully she can find her Disney spirit soon!
I have to admit that I feel the same way. I can't stop thinking about it. Our next trip to WDW is in September and it will also be on my mind then.It does "take the wind out of my sails" a bit. It is depressing and tragic and I know it will be on my mind for our next trip.
Our next trip is the end of Aug./beginning of Sept. and this has really hit me hard, which is not the norm, but for whatever reason I just can't get it out of my head. Maybe it's because I have a daughter almost 2 or maybe because it's a place we vacation often and a place that I would never think something like this would happen. I think part of it is there was just really no fault (yes I know the whole no swimming thing, but in my mind they weren't swimming just walking in the very shallow part etc.) And while my kids and I have never touched the water at Disney, I know and have seen many that do and I never really thought of them as in danger. I think also just the thought of as a parent having that happen right in front of your eyes just crushes me. Tonight as I was looking outside a Lil after 9 it was still pretty light here, so again would diminish the thought of danger in my mind.I have to admit that I feel the same way.

I just don't know how you go on after something like this and how you attempt to be a decent parent to the older sibling...I just can't imagine and hurt for this family. I know they'll be on my mind during our next trip.
