As some of you may know, I had a trip planned to Disney for Dec. - a C'mas gift to my grown DD and my 5 yr. old granddaughter..
Well - over the weekend my DD was rushed to the hospital (severe bleeding and pain) and she's going to require surgery.. We had hoped the surgeon would see her today, but I just left the hospital and she hadn't arrived yet..
Anyhow - even if she makes a speedy recovery from the surgery, between the loss of time from work and the financial impact on her family, it doesn't seem feasible we'll still be able to make the trip in early Dec.. (Wouldn't you know our MVMCP tickets just came in the mail last week! Drats!) However, we could probably still make the trip in Jan., Feb., or very early March because she automatically receives 5 weeks paid vacation as soon as the new year rolls in..
We're very disappointed over having to miss MVMCP but we're thinking maybe we could do a very short trip in Dec. of 2004 instead.. I'll just have to try to sell the tickets we have now and leave it at that..
Our airfare has already been purchased but because we went with Southwest we should be able to use the credit to make the new trip after C'mas..
To get to the point though (yes- I do have one - just kind of rambling today) - which time period would you choose - and WHY? School is not an issue and we would like to avoid any crowded holiday periods, etc..
When would the weather be best? When are the parks the least crowded? And are there any special events during those 3 time periods we should avoid?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!
