Trip 2 - back within a year (just) April/May 18

ScooterBunny · 7 Oct 19, 05:40 PM

So I haven't finished my first report for our 1st trip yet but to make sure I keep going I'll start this one in the hope it will prompt me to finish the other one.
There's me (planner/reporter), DH (disabled) and DS (11 and home educated).
We didn't book this holiday in time to take advantage of the free giftcard but did manage to get the free dining offer.
DH must have enjoyed the prevous trip as he decided we should make the most of being able to go on holiday whenever we wanted as DS decided he would like to go back to school and would be starting High School in the September.
Another surprise from DH was that he would like to try Animal Kingdom Lodge:

So that's what we booked, standard view, wheelchair accessible with a tub.
Again flying with BA PE from Gatwick.
Hiring a car, this time collecting at the airport.
Hiring a mobilty scooter (ECV) this time from Florida Mobilty.
Report to follow.

This trip had problems before we even left and didn't get much better whilst we there.
FIL was ill at the start of the year and spent some time in hospital.
MIL was becoming becoming harder to work with/more demanding (she has dementia).
Eventhough they have a live in career, it was becoming clear that more help was needed but they were too stubborn to see this.
Beginning of April FIL's health started to deterioate and he was admitted back into hospital.
Round about the same time I started to feel unwell but didn't say anything or do anything about it, as DH was concerned with both his parents and I was looking after/educating DS.
I eventually ended up in A&E. Discharged myself as DH and family needs were greater than mine and I would likely be able to get more rest at home.
