Maybe this is why the noodles ran off? I mean between all that and people marrying them no wonder there is a noodle emergency!
I'm kinda wondering if middle summer is high season for cranky, chair hogging people who then post about their troubles when they get back. Unfortunately many of their concerns are legitimate, but
they are missing the fact that these types of problems are experienced at just about every Disney resort.
On this board, people do a pretty good job of telling it like it is at the Beach and Yacht Clubs. All that help here goes a long way toward keeping people's expectations in line with reality. No vacation is going to be perfect. If people can't deal with that then there is more room for the rest of us that can.
I want to make it perfectly clear that I'm not referring to anyone who brought their concerns to this board. I think that is fantastic. That kind of communication gives all of us that participate on this thread a chance to try and help with the problems. I'm referring to the people on other threads that like to go on and on and blow things out of proportion. I'd like to thank everybody here for all the help and support that I have gotten. I know that all the information that I've discovered as a direct result of this thread is going to help me to have a fantastic vacation at the Beach/ Yacht Club resort!
I'd also like to thank the Cast Members at WDW and it's resorts. It can't be easy dealing with cranky people and this summer its seemed like they all showed up at once!
Just my 2 cents and my humble opinion.

PS. My Mom is home from the hospital and all her ducks are falling into a row as far as pain management, nursing care and getting her settled into a place where she can be comfortable. This week was really a crisis but for now things are better. Next week she starts Chemo so all hell is going to break loose but hopefully all of the arrangements that were
successfully put into place are going to help that go smoothly and not turn into a complete disaster again.
Because I am recovering from major cancer surgery my parents were shutting me out of their journey and they just couldn't manage it. I am doing extremely well and I'm exceeding everyone's expectations so I'm ready to GET BUSY! I told my Mom that we only have yesterday and today. Tomorrow is never promised so we have to make the best of it today and not be cranky or mourn the loss of an unlimited future. Through out this
I have learned that today really is a gift and that it would be wise, no matter what, that we make the best of it.
It's kind of strange to say that dealing with this terrible problem gives us the gift to be able to care for my Mom and show her how much we love her. Many many people don't get the chance to do this or say goodbye. It's a small consolation but with cancer maybe that's all you get. In any case we will make the best of this situation.

Hugs to all of you and thanks for all of your support!
