Well, to all you wonderful people who guided me through this vacation I give so much thanks! We just retured from the Poly with my 4yo dgd and her parents and my single 28yo daughter and my husband. Chloe is autistic and I have been worried about how she would do there and all my worries were washed away beginning with the ride to the airport. She handled the traveling like a champ and loved the airplane ride. I called the Poly 5 days before we arrived just to remind them I would appreciate connecting rooms and a balcony and told them about Chloe. Well, they gave us connecting rooms, 3rd floor in FIJI facing the marina! It was stunning. WE walked in to the room there were 4 helium ballons, a sandpail with coloring books and an autographed picture of many of the characters. I cried, it was just so special and thoughtful. The look on Chloes parents was something I haven't seen before, it was priceless. So anyway, this is how we started our wonderful vacation. Chloe had a sparkle in her eyes that got brighter every single day. The location was so good for her because she watched the boats and for her, speech isn't her cup of tea, she would says boats! She was also saying aloha to people walking by (sometimes). I was floored when we were on the beach and she looked at the MK and said "Cinderella's Castle"!
