Been to wdw 10 times, heading there 11/18-11/22 and the mvmcp 11/21. 1st xmastime trip was 2014 (WL) which was when my beloved mom had been diagnosed w/pancreatic cancer and INSISTED I not cancel our trip, as Id never been able to go to wdw during the holidays due to work and she was soooo kind. At the mvmcp parade, I was doing ok until a lady next to me held up her Ipad and I could see she was streaming the parade to HER terminal mother. I lost it!!! Didnt go back to wdw until 2016 (POR) for my 25th wedding anniversary...during Hurricane Hermine, lol!!! Now we are taking our now-adult kids to celebrate the 15th anniversary of our 1st family wdw trip and my 50th birthday. Was afraid to book mvmcp but my hubby wants to "see those cool tin soldiers"! Since 2014, also lost my dad,too...but Im excited for this and wish all a good trip!!!
We went to Disney for Halloween in 2017 a week after my dad died. We considered canceling our trip, but decided it would be good for our family. I did well until the HEA fireworks. It was fairly new and the first time we'd seen it. Then the tears started flowing. It was hard, but we still had a nice trip. I wish you and your family the best, and hope you make wonderful new memories!
