from the start, i had no intentions of responding.....because i
felt...the orginal poster..was fill with anger & disappointments,
& @ a time of great stressors....
if i missed the mark,would only increase the pain & add to
the confusion. and iam no
dcl offical or even an expert. all
i could add...is what i think dcl is , by my family defintions.
dcl isn't prefect...since it is a place of buisness, run by people.
however, i do not expect prefections, nor am i. in facts, the
closest...i ever come, is connected to my wife.
what changed my mind? you asked for prayers.
i believe in the power of prayers, & one's faith.
so i hope by praying, your daughter 's health is restore or she
finds her comfort levels...& the strength...to actually do a
dcl cruise. yes, i adding a lil'prayer that you don't give up
your disney dreams.
iam sorry you did not find the support you was first looking for.
this isn't disneyworld....but i read & re-read..many of the repsonses.
i don't think anyone was deliberatly trying to make things worst.
if you go back...even the negative posters were saying exaclty
why they were fearful.
then i think, what you are going thru.
having death threatens
all your hopes & dreams, & then your disney investments....i don't think
anyone here disagree, you are deserving of a better fate. [ & from
reading in-betweens the responses...everyone here was rallying
for a recovery.]
first things first, i hope she find renew strength..that we are praying
for her. then...once again, i hope you & the whole family....celebrate
her well being @ the best place in the world. the future is not written,
& there's something..to be gain...by believing & allowing others to
support all your needs. enpowerment..is uisng all your energies for
positive outcomes.
as for giving disney another try? you need to decide for yourself.
but i think..it should be a family 's decsion. sure it's a company, and
they have policies. [ i do think going with the travel group was
the biggest road block]. but they are also in the people business,
( funny, so iam..but we're on opposites ends-
)...& their
objectives....are to seek approval ratings. thru my experiences, i find
disney employees...are just like eveyone else. however, their
system was designed...to encourage & motivate toward giving
customer service. they really accessorized the positive , maybe
to a fault...when it comes to corrective measures. * so if i am
making any comment ....near a negative preception, i leave the
person "out."
back in 2002...we came really close to where your @ now.
take..this fairy...&,. what it was about....something i saw on the
ship..and a disney offical saying it never happened. though ,i was
right...i feel~ashame,..making as much noises i did..compare to
what you & your family just went thru. later, i read posts here,
~~that were very insightful...toward the person i dealin with...
[ he follows co. "outlines"..to the point, of lacking feelings], but
..*we waited , and...instead of one person making the choice,
we did it as a family....& as it turned out..the very best decsion
...for all whole family...,
the way i see "it" today...the disney world...as we kno it, is a "stage"
waiting for the magic to happen. sometimes, the differnce is in
those participating..and those waiting for "it" to discover them.
me?..iam no big disney fan...rather...a secret admirer. that's
because..my world....has alot depression, desparation and agonies.
it's not a popularity contest....but it does have a lot french~talkin.
we take our family to disney....for the good things. even when
we come across those with "troubles", we try to move on unless
they persist...but we don't let others...determined...what disney
menas to our family, that we do for ourselves, ..* no matter the
source..of inconvience.
so iam stil praying..you don't give up, and you don't let no one
decide "what" your future disney dreams..will be, except those
coming form your daughter + family,God bless.
ps, not required, but i 'll sure..be a happy "grumpy"..if someday
soon...i come across a trip report...from....you, covered from
head to toe..with star dust,
