My DAunt and her 7 are in WDW as I write this; her youngest cast members include a 4 month old (!) and a 2, 4, and 6 year old grand kids. They are so far experiencing one fiasco after another (actually they have had a month of rotten luck) and I am right about now after many frantic calls from them about to shave my head.... If you can relate, please tell me! I began my planning for them almost a year ago, when wee one was just a glimmer in their parent's eyes---and when I say planning, I mean obsessively over planning, thanks to the disboards and my fascination and love for the World... I'm a devoute PLANNER---a real Mousketeer, if I do say so myself. I have loved every question and challenge they have thrown my way and I'm proud to add that I managed to help them plan an awesome vacation...and if you are like me, you know, you can't just tell folks what to do, but only suggest or strongly suggest things...anyway it took months of convincing--like...just try one character dining meal, and about when to go ("Hey, leave one week earlier than you are planning and you can miss Pres. Weekend [!] and enjoy value season") and I stuck to my guns about insisting they take strollers----which this morning they admitted was a really, really good ideal. Anyway, like I said, "FIASCO"---I'll spare you ALL of the details---but here are two: Last night, when they called me at 7:05pm, they said the Pirate and Princess Party a "total and entire farce" and a "waste" of the several hundred extra dollars they have spent. I'll admit, I crossed into Brittneyland for a few minutes during that call (of which there have been many)---but they will hopefully never know, b/c I love them and I only want them to enjoy their vacation!
#2. Tonight, my Aunt called and cried (one of about 7 or 8 tearful calls we have shared today) about how great her treatment was in the Emergency Room all day today (after her lunch, actually in the Castle) and that she feels so grateful that the docs found the deep blood clot she has and she feels SO BLESSED and ECSTATIC that even though she has to go to the hospital again tomorrow at 9:00am to learn how to give herself a shot in her stomach every 12 hours (eW!), that she does not have to go home or have to stay at the ER and so is relieved that she will be able to enjoy the rest of her Disney World trip---even though it will be in a wheelchair (look out Bawb!!!).
I am almost out of pixie dust and it is only day two!!?! A BIG part of me just wants them to come home. Have any of you planned trips for others only to hear of the terrible time they had?! I feel TERRIBLY responsible for my family!
