Hey Guys, I'm just calling out there to all of you past Disney workers. Did any of you guys go with relationships back home? I'm with my boyfriend now for 3.5 years and personally I feel confident in trying the long distance thing. I know it's going to be hard because we live together essentially. So I'm just looking for stories of success (or not, as sad as it is.) I see all the crazy parties and I think "wow, I hope I'm not shunned from the groups because I'm not as fun because I'm taken." I'm also not uptight about being taken either but these crazy make-out parties and all this stuff is like " ...yeahhh, i'm not 12 anymore." I'm also aware that it isn't always like that. Anyways, I'm just rambling now. Just looking to hear some experiences
Everyone who has a bf or gf back home either breaks up or leaves their contract early. I've never heard of a success story. Ever.
Hey Tracey, I will tell you more about this after but I left nova scotia and went to alberta for 7 months, my bf of 4 years and I stayed together...we chatted all the time and he came to visit me once...everything worked out and I had an amazing time in Lake Louise!
Hey Tracey, My relationship with my last boyfriend was long distance, so I kind of have a feel for what it might be like. If you'd like to chat sometime feel free to add me on msn! angeljenn3@hotmail.com. We did break up in the end (but there's a lot of circumstances *very* different from your situation), but I learned a lot! I'd definitely be willing to share <3 Jenn
Whoa, whoa, WHOA! Not EVERY couple breaks up or leaves their contract early! My brother stayed with his girlfriend his entire contract and they had *just* started dating when he went down there. My friend Alana stayed with her boyfriend and finished her contract and now they're happily married. My friend Pascale did leave her contract early, but I don't think it was b/c of her boyfriend and now they're happily married and have twins. He actually proposed when he was visiting her in Florida. My friend Alison stayed with her boyfriend the whole time she was down there and finished her contract. My friend Christina stayed with her boyfriend her whole contract as well. So....you get my point. I'm not going to lie, it is a difficult thing to go through and a lot of couples do break up but I would NEVER say it was impossible. Hope this helps!
Dude dont listen to all the crap abotu people sayin youll split up or it will end badly Ive been going out with my Gf for 3 years and im over here Talk as much as poss email facebook myspace msn eachother as much as you can Sure it will be hard but if you to care for eachother tht much then its meant to be
i havent seen my bf for over 6 months now... sigh.... he is back in orlando.... and i will not see him until june if you are both committed to each other it can and will work out lisa x
Great advice! The guy I have been seeing since September tarvels a lot. We see each otehr when we can, but because of his profession, he travels quite a bit. But it just makes the time that we have together more special. He was a little bummed out that I took this job because he will have more time on his hands soon but I explained that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and that if I can make it through a winter without seeing him much than he can definitely do the same for me and he was totally cool with that. His family actually has a time share somewhere in Florida as well so that just means more summer time fun for him! haha
I agree it definitely CAN work, you just have to be dedicated. The most difficult part is going to be that you are moving to a new exciting environment where you'll be working lots, and meeting tons of new, interesting people, and chances are they are staying at home. Even if they aren't the jealous type they could start to feel left out, especially if they aren't as busy as you are. Make sure that you are keeping up the communication and letting them know that even though you're at the most magical place on earth you still miss them!
I totally did that the last time I was there without my ex boyfriend! Whenever I was standing in front of something or saw something that reminded me of him, I had a sign saying "I Miss You" on it and I got my best friend to take a picture of me, and then I would go ahead and send them to him. That was in college a couple years ago and we have since broke up, but we stay in touch and we were actually just talking about that when I told him I had gotten accepted.....He said it was great!...So awesome tip
That is a really nice idea DisneyDreamer85! If I get accepted my boyfriend and I have been discussing a theoretical gameplan on how to stay in touch. I think that if you lay out what you need and what you expect with your guy/girl before going down, it will be better.
Thanks Burtner!! Like I said, it worked like a charm....It wasn't until after we decided not to be together, but ya he was totally game for the pictures...Made him want to visit and see what he was missing out on...Like come on! When you see a picture of the castle do you not automatically want to go there?! ha ha Or maybe it's just Cast Member Culture ha ha ha It's like a high you just never want to come down from!
