I (23F) planned a 4-day trip to Disneyland with my family. Since I only had 2 days off work and my family was staying for a week, I asked my friend Jane (23F) to join us. She was excited at first, but became distant after buying the tickets, which I thought was due to her new boyfriend. A week before the trip, her mom had emergency surgery and Jane injured her leg. I thought she might cancel and told her it was OK if she did, but she confirmed the night before that she was still coming.
During the trip, Jane was constantly on her phone with her boyfriend, she even left the hotel room every night and came back late at night when I was already asleep. She was distant and didn't engage much with me or my family. On the first day at Disney, she left early, saying her leg hurt. She later told us her dad booked her a separate tour around LA and a room at a different hotel, so she wouldn’t join us for the second day. We agreed on meeting the next at the bus station to get to the airport.
The next day, Jane missed the bus to the airport and texted that she would Uber there. I kept waiting for her at the airport entrance for 4 hours, then I found her at a restaurant but when she saw me she ignored me completely. During our layover, she continued to avoid me. Once we arrived home, she didn’t offer me a ride, even though she had said she would.
A few days later, I found out Jane lied about her dad booking the tour (amongst other things). She had posted in a Facebook group asking for recommendations. I believe she wanted to explore on her own, but didn't communicate this. I don’t think my family made her uncomfortable, as they were respectful and inclusive. A few days later I decided to block her on social media bc I found her behaviour rude towards my family and me. Some friends told me I rushed into blocking her rather than talking to her in the first place. So, AITAH?
