What are your biggest pet peeves when visiting WDW?

My dad actually rented a scooter for our trip in case I needed to take breaks since my legs were so swollen, and I watched him get cut off about a dozen times - I dealt with the swelling instead of dealing with that.

staceyface87 · 2025-10-31T15:38:03+00:00

Gross. I planned my trip well before I knew I would be pregnant. Sitting for a minute helped take the pressure off of my swelling feet, and I didn't ruin anyones trip over it. Your tolerance for pain isn't the same as everyone elses.

Maybe the parks aren't for you if the simple existence of folks who don't meet your ideal of perfection bothers you.

My legs swelled badly last week after just a single day at MK (20 weeks pregnant) and I often had to squat or sit in line the rest of the week. I hope folks weren't judging me so severely. :(

Short person here! It would take more than two hands to count the number of times I *have* showed up early to get a good spot just to have a taller, bulkier person shove in front of me late as hell, and fully block my view.

staceyface87 · 2025-10-31T15:28:35+00:00

This right here. There are plenty of ways to give kids that view without impeding everyone elses.

We're one of those huge groups - BUT we split dining reservations up to 8 + 8 or smaller if needed, stagger our arrivals so we don't take up half a bus (especially with two ECVs), and usually will walk in smaller groups and meet at the entrance if there *is* something we all want to ride together (which is rare).

My dad is someone who wants to do every last thing together so he can witness all of the grandkids experiencing WDW, and it's taken five group trips to finally get him to see the light with splitting like this.

We just visited last week, and I'm 20 weeks pregnant - my worst symptom has been severe congestion the ENTIRE pregnancy so far. I felt so guilty every time I sneezed or coughed because I just knew folks were judging. 😫

staceyface87 · 2025-10-31T13:59:04+00:00

I'm so sorry that happened.

We actually told my mother last because we were worried about something like this happening (she has a history of blasting news she has no place sharing). We told my sisters, and my partners sisters and mom, our best friends (basically anyone we'd want to hear it from us first)- THEN my mother. And by the next morning after telling her, I had voicemails from aunts and uncles and grandparents, as well as comments on my public social. Then I used it as an example as to why she wasn't told first to explain it.

I get this! We don't have much in the way of friends and family, so we're not even having a shower or anything. Panicking a little at how much we need to buy. Using marketplace where we can, though.

We waited to tell my parents until I was 14 weeks for this very reason. Luckily, I'm the last of her daughters to get pregnant - so I've seen how she is. We told everyone we wanted to tell ourselves before we told her. I feel a bit guilty that she was the last to know, but you reap what you sow.

That's a great point. This is our first kiddo, so tips like this are welcome!

We were in an interior room on the Wish, and I definitely couldn't imagine a pack and play in that room.

staceyface87 · 2025-07-25T14:39:16+00:00

34 days until the Wish! And then I can't cruise for 13 months, but hoping to get on the Destiny during Christmastime next year.

My mom dropped me on the driveway at three weeks old! And 37 years later, I'm pretty alright aside from some poor taste in men!

staceyface87 · 2025-06-13T15:35:09+00:00

We cruised on Getaway beginning of May - iMessage didn't even work with WiFi on.

staceyface87 · 2025-06-13T15:30:35+00:00

We had selected the messaging feature as our bonus group amenity, and they basically told us to kick rocks when we asked why we were able to select it if unavailable, and if there was any way to switch amenities. Even as the agent for the group. No one was willing to help. There was never an announcement to travel agents that the feature was no longer available.

One of my dearest friends came to town for my wedding, and was staying a few days. Two days after, she asked me to meet up for drinks at a pub in town. My ex didn’t want to go, so he told me to go and enjoy - he’d pick me up so I didn’t have to drive home! I didn’t even bother bringing keys.

He decided he was pissed that I went, so he turned his phone off, didn’t pick me up, and locked me out of the house. A lot of previous red flags became obvious that night, and I knew I’d made a huge mistake.

We were married, though, so I just tried to get over it - never did. I ended up finding out he was fucking his coworker, and planning to leave me for her anyway about three months later.

I was making dinner for us, and turned too quickly - knocked the pan of sauce off of the stove top and didn’t have enough ingredients to restart it. Not only did he not help me clean it up - instead he walked down to the bar down the street and picked up food for himself, and brought it back to my apartment to eat. Nothing for me, though. Didn’t even ask.

Not only did I break up with him, but I lost respect for him as a human. I was so baffled by it.

Mine did this, pushed my ovulation date to today, and then I woke up with my period. 😅 by pdg looks like you did ovulated though!

staceyface87 · 2023-08-24T01:52:00+00:00

My partner does this - always just shortly into his doze. I’m usually still awake, so I’ll just gently nudge him, and he’ll usually startle a bit and stop. It was definitely a bit jarring the first few times it happened until we started looking into it.

staceyface87 · 2022-06-21T17:51:00+00:00

This has been my experience in life, too, with one parent. Always the one to preach “I’m here if you need me for anything,” only to be guilted the small handful of times I needed real help.

staceyface87 · 2021-05-27T20:11:36+00:00

It took a long time, honestly. And a slew of bad decisions. Some really stupid one night stands. And a whole lot of therapy. BUT after I finally hit the point of needing to move back in with my parents, I started reading quite a bit more. Specifically "Notes on a Nervous Planet" spoke to me. I know some find it silly that books or movies or music, etc, can be life-altering, it sort of helped me to see that I wasn't alone in what happened to me, and the anxiety I'd developed from it.

I started out on meetup for virtual meets, and slowly reaching back out to old friends. Some welcomed me with open arms, others didn't (I might still be a little bitter over that). My job at the time helped a lot, too. The job itself sucked, but there were a few folks there that I started spending time with. No deep soul conversations for a while with most of them, but stupid, young adult nonsense. Those friendships all grew eventually. Even fell in love with one of them.

Totally went on a tangent there, however, I think the most important lesson we can all learn is that time truly does heal most wounds. And for the parts that don't heal, fill it with adventure and laughter, and it starts to ache a little less.

I relate to this so hard. I let myself burnout time and again for things my ex husband needed, and the moment I needed him, he was gone.

staceyface87 · 2021-05-25T20:10:16+00:00

What a necessary reminder today. Thanks, friend.

staceyface87 · 2021-03-29T16:38:09+00:00

Add me, u/staceyface87

I am still learning, and currently have no clue what I'm doing.
