We'll be at the Boardwalk Inn in a few weeks, for 7 nights. We have 8 day parkhoppers and the
DDP.
There's a real backstory to our trip.
We had plans to go, but were on the verge of cancelling them in April; my son starts college in the fall and finances are tight.
My husband was due to chaperone the Senior Trip to WDW at the end of April. Five days before the trip, he suffered a series of seizures, and spent 11 days in the ICU. Those first few were scary-- to the point where I found the insurance papers and started to think along the lines of finding black clothes for the kids.
Obviously, he was off the Senior Trip-- I emailed his principal when I got home from the ER at 5 am that first night and told them they would need a replacement.
The kids at his school, knowing how very much he loved WDW (And this Senior class in particular) passed the hat. They went homeroom to homeroom. And in 24 hours, they collected $4000 to send my family to WDW this summer. The check was presented to us the night before the Senior Trip. My husband was still very groggy, having just come out of sedation after 4 days. But I remember it clearly. A cousin was up from FL in the hospital room visiting, and he got pictures on his phone of us receiving the check.
So we're supplementing the money they gave us, and doing one more big WDW trip before we figure out college finances. It will be a celebration of my son's high school graduation (tomorrow) and of my husband's recovery. He's pretty much fully recovered, and will be back in the classroom in September.
