Hey folks! Really, I think I am just needing a place to vent and freak out and spew.
So, 4.5 hours from now, my Mom and Dad are supposed to be on a flight to WDW for a family vacation with extended family. I opted not to go this time around, but while home, I received a call from my aunt's husband for my Dad to call, that it was important. This call came about 9:50 pm, pretty late, so I worried that it was important. I was shaking, because I didn't know what to do. But, I did probably the right thing and passed the message onto my Mom.
About 10 minutes later, my Mom texts me that my aunt has passed away. Now, we aren't particularly close, but it's still a shock and it's still family, you know? But, it had just happened, and they wouldn't know anything more about arrangements or anything like that till in the morning, maybe not even then, because they are having an autopsy done. Well, my parents' flight was at 6 am, so they had to make a decision by then, and they decided not to go....at least not now until they find out arrangements. There is chance the funeral may not be until next weekend, but there is also a chance it could be early or mid week, too.
They rented points from an individual DVC owner so I don't know how that will work. My plan is to call SSR in the morning and explain the situation. They may be down there sometime this week, but they may not. The timing was really terrible on this, but I guess there is not really a good time for these things to happen, either.
What is best case scenario, worst case scenario, likely scenarios? Etc etc. For example, I am wondering if SSR would let us take the days from this weekend and add them onto next weekend, if they go down midweek.
