I’m having this surgery next month and am not going to Disney until October. I would be very worried not to be close to my doctor at 5 weeks out!
I'm sorry you're in this situation. I'm confused why you are financially responsible for their portion of the trip. I understand that you may need to use your points, but they should be paying you back right? I just think it's a bit selfish of them to pu their needs above yours. I really hope your friend recovers well though. Best of luck!
Oh ok. Yeah I really have no idea how DVC points work, so I didn't really understand the financial aspect. I guess based on what you just explained, I would just go with what you have currently booked and just hope she's recovered enough to go.I'm financially responsible because they are my guests. Yes, we planned this together and they've been very much a part of that, but of the reasons I bought DVC was to bring friends and family with me on occasion. And yes, I feel terrible for thinking about the DVC point "finances" under the circumstances. And on other occasions guests have paid (I suppose I run a 'pay what you can' operation!!) But points are weird and this is one of those circumstances in which being a DVC owner is stickier--cancellation. The amount a I pay to DVC for my points annually is nowhere near the market value of renting points from someone.
In this case, they were 'paying' me in their company, some babysitting, some groceries, and probably a drink or two.
Thanks! DVC is definitely a different beast than other reservations.Oh ok. Yeah I really have no idea how DVC points work, so I didn't really understand the financial aspect.

Man, sounds like your friend has been through a lot. Maybe to them that is why they are going on the trip no matter what. There is no rule that says you have be 100% healthy to go to Disney! Good luck to your friend recovering well. I hope you all have a wonderful trip!
I was just thinking about you and your trip; I'm so glad things are looking up! It sounds like it will be a great timeAn update!!!
She's doing very well, with 13 days until our trip. There have been several neighborhood walks and her return to work in tomorrow. She even at 4 ounces of salmon over the course of yesterday. Her doctor says she'll be find for rides (!!) and if she feels discomfort to wear her binder or spanx. To be honest, the most shocking part of that conversation was that she owns spanx. It seems out of character...
Anyway, we talked through our grocery order today, and she requested unsweetened soy milk, tuna in water, EVOO, chicken breast, unsweetened apple sauce, and non-fat plain greek yogurt.
I fully expect a slow pace, but I'm so happy that she's going to be able to enjoy this trip!!!
I'll update on our return.
