This has been the longest I have waited to do a trip report but there are extenuating circumstances. Being gone for the 10 days this trip took, it means I have that much more to do at work when I returned. In addition, shortly after we returned, my 81 year old father suffered a collapsed lung, was in the hospital, got out, had it happen again in a few days and then was transferred to a hospital about 5 hours from where I live. He was in that hospital for nearly two months and then in a rehab facility for two weeks that is about 3 hours from here. Finally, he is at his home and seems to be on the mend. During that time Ive had to take care of his affairs, make numerous trips to see him and deal with other family members. Now that things have settled down somewhat, I am going to attempt to write this TR.
This trip was originally supposed to be just DW and I. We had a trip to WDW back in June, 2014 that included DS1, DDiL, DD and DSiL. That trip report link is here. DS1 and DDiL had to cancel out on that trip so we asked them if they wanted to join us for the WDW portion of this trip in October. Fortunately, we were able to change our 1br at BCV to a 2br for the October trip. About a month before we were to go on the October trip, DDiL found out she would be unable to go. DS1 decided he would join us anyway so we were finally set .I think. Having to cancel rooms for the June trip, change rooms for the October trip, rent out the unused DVC points, change FP and dining reservations from 6 to 4 for the June trip, change FP and dining reservations from 2 to 4 and then to 3 for the October trip made me slightly crazy. Thats not an abnormal condition for me but this was in addition to my regular crazy!
For those of you that have followed previous TRs of mine, you know they are pic intensive. This one will not be different. I took over 750 photos during this trip but do not worry, I promise not to post them all or even most of them well, I promise not to post them all! And if you like food porn pics, you will love this TR!
This TR will be somewhat different for me because in addition to our 6 nights at BCV during F&W, we also sailed on the Disney Dream with a 3 night cruise prior to the WDW stay. This was our first Disney Cruise and for me, my first cruise period. DW has cruised before when she was younger. Shes been talking about a cruise for years but with so many stories about couples cruising and one of them mysteriously ending up overboard, I wondered about her reason for wanting to go on a cruise! Weve been married for over 32 years and Im sure once or twice something I said or did was taken the wrong way or misunderstood and there is a chance, albeit small, that she might have not forgotten about an obvious misinterpreted point in time, right? To avoid any temptation for retribution, I informed her I would go on a cruise only if I could cancel my life insurance for the duration of the cruise. It apparently worked because here I am to tell the story!
