Sad that dad had to cancel

[Disney Spaz]

Just needed to vent my dad was supposed to leave today for WDW and we were joining him on Wed night but he got very sick this morning with a stomach bug and had to cancel just 2 hours before his flight was supposed to leave. Now I am so nervouse about me and the kids being around him. I don't want to get sick and have to cancel because this was the last trip we can take on our AP's before they expire on the 31st. Am I being selfish for worrying about my trip?

No, you are not being selfish. I hope you manage to avoid the bug and have a great trip. Hope your dad feels better soon!

I know your Dad is as upset as you are but that he doesn't want you to miss your trip. Make him a special surprise basket of goodies to show how much you missed him and schedule another trip whenever you can that includes him.

Right about now, I'm sure your Dad feels a little worse than you do. More than likely, you will be fine for your trip. Hope your Dad is well soon.

I can tell you that before our WDW trips I am extremely careful about not putting us at risk of getting sick if we can at all avoid it! Once I had a friend who wanted to bring her daughter over to play with my daughter so she could go to the gym and get a manicure. I said okay, we were leaving the next day and I was busy but whatever. As she is dropping her daughter off, she mentions the kid was up all night vomiting but is fine now. I told her, sorry but you can't leave her, we can't get exposed. She was really angry! She told me how paranoid I was being but I explained that we had this trip planned for almost a year and no way was I chancing it. I felt awful since this little girl and mine had looked forward to playing but I held firm. So she took her daughter to her sister in law's instead (sil is also a friend of mine) and guess what, that whole family came down with the bug, including their baby and they had it for days. If I had let her drop that kid off we probably would have been too ill to fly out the next day. To the OP, you are not being selfish, you are being realistic, there is nothing more contagious than stomach flu. Good luck!

I hope your dad feels better. Did he cancel his whole trip or just put it off for a day to see how he is? Sometimes these things only last 24 hours.

Thanks for all the positive support. He was still feeling bad last night so he postponed until March. WDW was great about moving his deposit without a penalty. He is really disappointed and so are we as this will be the last trip for awhile now that I am preggie. I loved the basket idea and will be sure to get him something from Ghiridellies (sp?) since he loves their chocolates. Thanks again for all your positive feeback I needed it.

You are so welcome. I am glad that you liked the basket idea I used to be an event planner/concierge so I was pleased to be able to use my skills to help you. Have a wonderful trip!!!
