When my dad passed after a long illness in 97, the funeral was on my wife's birthday. We decided to "Get out of Dodge" and three days later took a long weekend roadtrip to the Amana Colonies in Iowa. It did me a world of good to spend that time with my wife and children. Go to WDW and have a good time.

Prayers,

Joe and Family

My prayers are with you! The only advice I could add is not to be hard on yourself if this trip is a little subdued and not as "magical". At the same time, I'm sure you'll also remember the good times and think that your dad would be happy that you're spending time with your own family and that is what's really important.

Sorry for your loss. Prayers and PD on the way.

I am sorry for your loss. It must be so hard just losing your dad and now you have a "happy" vacation to go to. I hope you can convince you mom to go. It will be good for both of you to be with each other, especially if Disney is a source of many memories. I agree with other's, try to convince her, but don't insist. She needs time to grieve on her own.

I just lost my brother on Father's Day. I am hoping my dad agree's to come with us in November for Thanksgiving.

I am sorry to read about the loss of your dad. My thoughts & prayers are with you all.

Have as nice a trip as possible. Being a DVC member has its plusses - you can relax without going, going, going all day, every day on vacation.

My sympathies and prayers for you and your family.

Please don't forget to take care of and be kind to yourself while you are busy taking care of others.

for your loss....

I lost my Dad serveral years ago to Cancer, and hadn't slept for weeks because I was taking care of him and my Mom.

DH and I decided to jump on flight with our airlines points, and go to Disney. At the time, my Mom wasn't ready. It seemed crazy to go, but really was the only place I could finally get relaxed enough to sleep. (and then was in a much better position to help my Mom with the business and other issues that came up).

6 months later... DH and I ended up taking Mom for a week to the Beach Club concierge, which we all enjoyed, and now 5 years later, Mom is remarried, and I have adopted a little 5 year old girl.

Hope things work out for you and your family,

God Bless, Goldi

I know you have heard this - but time heals - don't try to push your mother - let it be her decision - you know your father wants you to be happy - go to his favorite spots for him - then due things that you have never even consider during before - go to FW and ride a horse - or go to the campfire - if do something that you have never tried to do at WDW.

I like the ideal of the memory brick at WDW - I wished I have thought of that for my grandmother - as long as she lived we visited WDW and Polyn for 7 days in the summer - our first trip without her - mother and I both cried - but then we went to EPcot (she died before Epcot was built).

A year and a half ago, my DW and I were scheduled to leave on a Wed for a couple of days at WDW and then a cruise for our
25th anniversary w/ another couple. After a 2 month hospital stay my MIL passed away from complications the Sunday before we were to leave. We decided that we would delay our trip a few days but still go. My MIL would have really been upset with us if we had not gone. Although my DW's thoughts were still with her mother, it did her a world of good just to be away from things.
I do hope you can talk your mother into going with you....you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

I'm very sorry for your loss and hope that you and your family find some peace and comfort in your memories of him. Ironically, Disney World is a place that I always feel very close to my father (died 12 years ago) since we went so often when I was young. Hopefully it will be that way for your mother too some day.
Take Care.
