We are booked for our vacation in September - 9 nights Poly. This is our first on site stay, but have been to WDW many times. We have two disabled children DD17 and DD3 (yeah thats right - 14 years apart!) Here is my problem...we just found out that my wife is expecting (not a planned situation, mind you). Because of her diabetes and the medical history of our children, the doctors are EXTREMELY cautious with her health. They are not really going to put her on bed rest or anything, just do TONS of tests and make her monitor her blood sugars 8-10 times a day and take insulin about as much. We have good insurance, but this still gets to be EXTREMELY expensive - on top of just paying the normal cost of bringing a new one into this world...
The guys on here will probably understand, but my first reaction was to cancel the trip (its already paid in full - $6k plus), or at minimum look at ways to do the trip cheaper. I know we haven't been in about 7 years, but I never remember spending $6,000 before. Anyway, is this bad of me. I do not want to suggest anything because her emotions are already ALL over the place and to be honest at times I am rather quite afraid! Is the analytical businessman in me out of touch with the needs of my wife and girls or should I do the responsible thing and cancel the trip. $6,000 would go a LONG way toward paying for the baby. As I have looked at other options, I really do not come up with scenarios that same me a TON of money. We want the DDP, as I am not exactly the buy 1 cheeseburger and two buns and share type. (No problem with those that do, just not me.) With us getting the DDP free, it makes it difficult to find something that much less.
I could really use ANY advice. I am always very impressed with the ways ya'll help each other out here and hope it is my turn to by a recipient of that. Thanks in advance!
