hello I will start with this trip was gifted to us on Thanksgiving eve, why, was it gifted because the week before I (the Dad) was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer that started in my appendix. Yes that’s crazy , I’m 49 and never had anything before—- I’m the 1% of the population that gets appendeceal cancer. So that’s the sad story , although not that sad because I continue to feel great and the Tuesday after a great Disney trip I got great news the tumors have shrunk to more than 1/2 the original size! I say it’s from Disney pixie dust!

So we are a family of 4 Mom , me and Our 2 boys 10;14 ——- so we have the boys the news on the Friday before Xmas , the reaction was , well not so stellar —- the younger boy was over the top , the older was well not so thrilled—-he’s 14 that explains that —— so we did a great box of goodies including magic bands and tee shirts and other stuff—-

Flash to January and the kids ,especially,the oldest was starting to get excited!

We are scheduled to leave on January 26th from Providence on Southwest —- I love this airline—-comfortable and always filled with Disney people—not to mention that this airport is so easy to navigate. We got boarding A ,which I paid extra for , we settled in,I sat with the youngest , put my surgical mask on ,for my safety , however toward the end of the trip ,I got sick.....I will get into that later—— this is such an easy flight , clear day[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]

Well bless your heart, dealing with so much. This trip, I'm sure, will be so magical, for everyone! Teenager included, lol!
Good news about the shrinking tumors! Pixie dust for sure!
