Question

We started this journey at beginning of January with a little over $7000 in debt and no savingd account. As of today we are completely debt free and have managed to save $2k in our savings account along with almost $1000 for vacation. And a couple hundred more in sinking funds! Friday we were told we are experiencing a miscarriage with our first baby after 2 years of trying. Opinions needed. We love Disney. And want to maybe go at the end of next month for a week. Would you take money out of savings even if it takes most of it to go? Be in our happy place and start over when we get back? Or wait and save more and go somewhere else in a few months?  

Answer 1

Girl your debt free! Go! I'm sorry for your loss

Answer 2

I'm sorry for your loss. After experiencing one myself, take the trip and heal.  

Answer 3

I’ve had one. Prayers. I would take trip to heal and enjoy life. Come back full force.  

Answer 4

I would go. Because you need something happy. As a trip planner for them, I will say that you might not get the dining reservations you want or the planned fast passes, but it will still be fun!  

Answer 5

Take the trip. I’m so sorry for your loss.  

Answer 6

research the cost of the vacation. You may save a lot by checking VRBO or a site like Wyndham Owners who are always trying to rent out weeks in Orlando area. You could relax and not go into the parks everyday.  

Answer 7

I’m so sorry fo your loss it can be difficult and going to Disney might help you I say go. If you were able to save that quick you can do it again.  

Answer 8

Gooo  and God bless! There will be a time in your life/marriage that something equally as painful hits you, you’ll have kids in school, etc. that prevent you from leaving at the drop of a hat, and you will draw on those sweet memories to get you through your dark times.  

Answer 9

Disney helped me after my miscarriage. I went 1 week after my laparoscopic surgery when I had my ectopic. My heart needed it. As long as you know you won’t be in a hole you can’t get out of go. Mental health is also very important.  

Answer 10

I had one Christmas eve. I know how you feel.  I think you should go if you can keep your costs down. Stay off property and get a deal, skip the Grand Floridian. Take snacks into the park to buy less food. One tip. check out the lake Buena vista embassy suites. Reasonable prices, EXCELLENT made to order free breakfast with omelets, Mickey waffles e. t. c, and I think they actually have shuttles to the parks but you'll have to double check on that one

Answer 11

So sorry ❤️

Answer 12

First of all, I’m so sorry for your loss. Second, Yes! Go! I went through 3 miscarriages myself. Go and have a good time and enjoy yourself. It will help with trying to get some of it off your mind. Try to do it the best financially as possible. Bring food and such. Don’t give up! If you need someone to talk to about the miscarriage that has been through it, feel free to PM me. It hard to not feel alone and just know that you aren’t. ❤️

Answer 18

Tbh, I would definitely go. Disney is also my happy place and that's the first place I'd want to go and wouldn't care the cost. ❤️

Answer 19

Take the trip! Sending hugs  

Answer 20

Take the vacations. You need a mental break. And when you come back I don’t think it would take you long to replenish that fund. You guys are doing great! And I’m so sorry for your loss  

Answer 21

I'm so sorry. Go to Disney

Answer 22

Go. Have a wonderful time and I’m so sorry for what you’re going through now.  

Answer 23

I would say you should assess what you need. If you feel like you need to get away now, then go. If you feel like you want to be home around support, then wait. You only live once and your mental health is important. If you feel like this trip will help you in coping with what has happened, then you should definitely go. But if not, then I would wait. I think the stress of having no savings could also be not great for your mental health. And add stress or cause postponement when you think about trying again.  

Answer 24

Go! Money is just money and can be saved again! Memories last forever! Take this time for yourselves.  

Answer 25

I’m so sorry. I say go.  

Answer 26

I am so sorry. Take the trip. You won’t regret it.

Aww, so sorry for your loss! You have made excellent progress so far! Take the trip!  

Answer 28

If it won’t stress you out even more to replenish it. GO! Relax and be in your happy place to heal. That is the best investment to make. Im so sorry this is happening for you guys ❤️

Answer 29

I’m so sorry. ❤️ if you guys want to go to Disney, go to Disney. You’ve proven you cab save money. You can make more money and save that. Take care of your heart. ❤️

Answer 30

Answer 31

So sorry for this loss. Take it easy and enjoy your trip.  

Answer 32

Will you be able to enjoy the vacation with just having a miscarriage? I had a stillbirth and went on vacation shortly after but couldn’t enjoy swimming because of the healing process . for medical reasons, you may want to wait.  

Answer 33

I’m so sorry for your loss & pain. I also had a miscarriage many years ago. Enjoy yourselves just don’t go crazy with spending. @breeze9684 had great suggestions on spending.  

Answer 34

I'm so sorry for your loss. I think for me if I really had to get away I'd go on a staycation close to home/less expensive. You can still get away and not wipe out all your money. Then go to Disney when it won't undo all your hard work saving.  

Answer 35

Sorry for your loss. And I’d say go. It’s a great places to be happy!  

Answer 36

You need the trip! Once you guys are so relaxed don’t be surprised if your going enjoy a new journey of little feet ❤️. Speaking from experience. All the best!

Answer 40

I’m so sorry you had to experience that! If it truly makes you happy and you feel like you need to get away, then go! If you don’t want to spend that much and maybe do a long weekend a couple hours away, do that. (If you need help planning for Disney, feel free to PM me. )

Answer 41

I'm so sorry. I say go ♥️ after you physically recover as long as the thought of replenishing it isn't super stressful on you.  

Answer 42

Go to Disney, the happiest place in the world! Sending prayers of encouragement to soothe your heart.  

Answer 43

You have done well, go to Disney

Answer 44

Thoughts and prayers for u. I lost a 3 month old preemie years ago. My suggestion would be to go and take some time to reflect on what you've been thru rather than try to go to Disney with a lot of chaos. Maybe to a quaint BnB in a touristy type place and just be chill for a few days. Disney sounds a bit chaotic to me but every one is different and grieves in their own way. Whatever you do. just do you. Good luck!  

Answer 45

My first pregnancy resulted in miscarriage. Everyone grieves differently so I think you’ll have to think about that. Is that going to truly make you happy? Probably temporarily but you’ll eventually have to face it. I chose to celebrate her (too early to tell but I felt like it was a girl) birthday every year. The first year I got a tattoo because I like tattoos. That’s something I will cherish forever. The miscarriage took a toll on my body and it was somewhat painful. A year later I found out I was pregnant with my now 8 month old baby. Don’t lose hope!  

Answer 46

Sending hugs your way!  

Answer 47

Take some time for you. ♥️

Answer 48

Go. You’ve already done so much in such little time. You’ll be able to build that savings back up in no time!  

Answer 49

I am so sorry for your loss. So happy for your successes too. In times of grief we tend to not make the wisest decisions. Being on the outside of your pain, I would encourage you to continue saving and go somewhere in a couple months. Or maybe go somewhere not quite as expensive. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.  

Answer 50

Hugs! So sorry for your loss. I lost one too before I had my last rainbow baby. Hopefully you can go and the trip will help you guys.
