Last Trip? It was until we met Food & Wine -- Recap 2/12

[goofy4prez]

Kathy, I am so so sorry to hear about this latest event with your brother. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Man, I seem to get so far behind so quickly! Kathy, you have TOO MANY FRIENDS!

You guys did so many things during your EMH's! You definitely used that extra time to its full potential! And CONGRATULATIONS on beating Mark at Buzz Lightyear!!! I am just not good at video games...at all. And since that is one of DH's hobbies I will NEVER beat him at something like that... But boy, if I ever did...I would probably never play again just so I could keep bragging rights.

And then speaking of using something to its full potential...you just got some of the most fabulous animal photos from your balcony!! That room with the nice view did not go to waste on your watch!

Um, looking at your plate pictures from breakfast...might you have food touching issues? I recognize the carefully divided portions. I have two folks in my house with those issues (not the younger children, mind you, and not me) ...so we use divided plates for dinner every night!

Still praying for your mom, brother and the rest of your family, Kathy!

Sorry about what your Mom is going through. I know it all too well with my father as he had cancer.

Food looked good at Kona. Look at that naughtiness going at Disney in that picture. Get a room. LOL.

Love Olivia's. Now I want Shrimp & Grits. LOL.

Love taking the ferry over to MK.

Love the dole whip floats. YUM!. I very rarely stop fro one though.

Seems like you are doing a lot this night.

Nice castle and fireworks pics.

The dark faces would be because of a flash, I would think.

Nice PP pics.

Love 1900 PF for breakfast.

Sorry to hear of your brother. Glad Mark was there and he is a keeper.

 

[Gracefulskinny]

So sorry to hear about your family! I will certainly keep y'all in our prayers.

 

[petals]

So sorry about your brother. Hope everything works out ok for him. Sending prayers and pixie dust

 

[jedimeg16]

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please take care of yourself while you take care of your family, and we will be here when you come back.

Coffee is definitely needed for EMH at night. Thank you Starbucks!

While I do like Dole Whips, I think there are many more tasty treats out there to eat. And I do not believe they are worth the wait that sometimes generates for them!

The backside of water!

So are we going to take a trip together in 2016?

Did you use a flash when you took the pictures in the Mine Train? That would be the only explanation I would have for the blacked out faces. If not....then I have no idea.

My Pop used to hate the GF! He thought they were all snooty too. Now he loves it. But then again, he has become a bit of a snob lately, so that might explain why.

1900 Park Fare used to be my favorite breakfast. It was somewhat disappointing the last time we ate breakfast there. Dinner is pretty good, the stepsisters are the entire reason to go there.

We spent sooooo much time at that pool on the trip in July 2013 with the nephews. We just loved it.

I'm continuing to keep you guys in our prayers.

Oh Kathy! I'm so sorry to read this. I may not post but I do follow. We lost my grandma 11 years ago to lung cancer so I understand the pain your going through right now. Prayers that things work out.

 

[teekathepony]

Kathy, I am so so sorry to hear about your brother. I'll continue to keep your family in my thoughts! Mark sure is a keeper, bless him.

 

[CaseFace5]

Kathy,

I am so sorry to hear this news. You and your family are continually in my thoughts and prayers.

 

[ddstratton]

So sorry to hear about your brother. Your family is in my prayers.

I may not be able to post for a bit. This is what I posted on my Disney FB group page: Please keep my family in your prayers. As many of you know, my mother has terminal cancer. Yesterday my brother (my mother's primary caregiver) was taken to the hospital after my husband called 911 when he found my brother mostly unconscious on the floor at their home. He has a very large blood clot in his lung which is causing numerous issues. Thankfully I have the best husband ever...he spent the night with my mom until I can arrange for care for her.

oh Kathy I'm so sorry it is just too much for one family hoping they can get your brother stabilized. Continually praying for you Mark your Mom and sweet Alisha

The first mistake I made was making an 8:30 ADR on the morning AFTER we stayed at EMH's until midnight. Oops...won't make that mistake again.

And here I thought you were a professional.

This was our first time EVER having a meal at the Grand Floridian. My husband is NOT a fan of the Grand Floridian. When we first visited the resort when the boys were little, he found it very snooty

I agree. It gives me the same vibe.

What did we think of 1900 Park Fare? It was okay. But we definitely prefer Crystal Palace and that will remain our character meal.

Well, at least you gave it a shot. And they had tater tots. It can't be all bad if they have tater tots.

Kathy, I'm sorry to hear the news about your brother. When it rains, it pours! Praying they can take care of him and the blood clot. I'm sorry things are so rough right now.

 

[KatMark]

I'm sorry I haven't updated. It's been hectic going to work, coming to mom's until caregiver comes, etc.

Thank you all for the prayers and good wishes.

We thought we made a turn for the better when they got rid of one of two blood clots and Bob came off breathing tube. However, today he started bleeding internally in his back and they don't know why and he is in terrible pain. They are giving him blood transfusions and are working hard to figure out what is going on.

Kathy- I just stumbled upon your TR and read the whole thing so far! I've loved your past reports.

I'm so sorry to hear about all that you and your family are going through. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. I'll be thinking of you!!!

Hugs, Lauren

 

[jedijill]

Sorry to hear the latest about your brother. Hope they figure out what is going on with him.

My gosh Kathy, when it rains it pours for you. I will keep your brother in my prayers as well.

I can't believe you guys have never eaten at the GF before. It is too bad that Mary Poppins wasn't there. She is a favorite of ours as well.
We always find the servers at 1900 PF slow and it takes forever to get our check too. But we love the characters. The steps at dinner are a lot of fun.

Kathy I am so sorry to hear your brother is ill. You have your plate full for sure. Continued prayers.

I'm so sorry about your brother. *Hugs from Canada*.

Completely sympathize with the early ADRs and and the late EMH. I made an early rezzie at Grand Floridian Cafe (7:30 am). It was painful getting up that morning.

Kathy and Mark,

I have read many of your trip reports and find them most enjoyable. I know I don't post a lot but I do love reading about your trips, and seeing Mark's hat photos.

But I do want to say that I am so sorry to hear about the health issues you are having in your family. I know how hard it can all be. Please know that I am sending good wishes and prayers to you and your entire family. And hope that you will be able to find peace and comfort during this difficult time with the many good memories you have had over the years together. Take care.
