Here Now : & Very Upset, advice please

[DLgal]

I don't think its too much to ask either! My son called last night and we talked for a very long time about this. He feels the same as I do about time lost together as a family.

Honest question: What is stopping you from getting on a plane right now and going to visit them for a few days? You make it sound like it is absolutely impossible to see your grandchildren outside of a Disney vacation. Just go see them and get your time with them that way.

I just read something very interesting on a Blog about Disney and allergies.

She indicated that some locations have changed their waffle mix to Carbon's Golden Malted Gluten Free mix. And that as she understands it, the mix is made on undeclared shared lines with wheat and other allergens.

Just thought that it was interesting that both of these seemed to have happened recently.

My son lives in Austin, DH & I California
I think your missing the point of our whole families disappointment.

We saved for months for this trip to be together, the grandchildren were so excited to go to DW with Opa & Nana.
My son & his wife were excited to spend time with us. They had planned to go to Tiffins that night for a date night while DH & I watched the grandchildren.
They were looking forward to a nice dinner alone ( they don’t leave their children with anyone at home because of their allergies). We were looking forward to this evening playing with our grandsons & excited that my son & his wife would be able to enjoy a meal together, relax & then go see the star Wars show at 10pm while we put the grandkids to bed. It’s things we don’t get to do but once or twice a year on vacations.

Plus, if you were there when this was happening to our grandchildren to see how serious this was, especially for my 5 yo grandson. We were all crying with shock.
It drains the children & the adults to watch them go through that. The vacation ended right there in The restaurant that morning.

I feel Disney will give us another vacation together...it can be at a resort anywhere with a kitchen so we can cook their food & bring it with us.
It doesn’t have to be at a Disney resort, just a redo of time missed together.

I don’t think that’s asking too much really. They are precious moments together, I can’t tell you how much I was looking forward to being with them, not just a couple days, but a week.
We are a very loving, close family who happens to live in different states.

The only thing we want is our time back together, we are all hard working people who are always giving to those in need.
This time we need something, precious time together with our family is our most important gift in life.

DH & I never stay in the same place as my sons family, in other words we have separate quarters. Melia has a bathtub & kitchen that’s what I was referring to...I never spoke about a timeframe or expectations... again just that I was sad about the time that could have been.

I’m calling “Uncle”, in other words I give up fighting off all accusations here.

Once again I DID NOT REQUEST A THING

Above is where I took my memory and understanding of what you are hoping for. As I said, I was foggy on the timeframe, but I understand reading this again why 5-7 days stood out in my mind. You actually do say you want your time back together, being hardworking people who always give back to those in need. I feel I am correct that the bathtub comment came from you as well, particularly since it makes no sense that another poster would have added that detail and I distinctly remember reading that.

I have to agree, if it is time spent with the Grand Kids, why does it have to be at Disney,
Go visit them.
I am sorry for your vacation that got cut short, and am glad the boys are ok. That being said things happen. I got food poisoning the second day of my ten day trip to Disney. Was in the room for the remainder of my stay. Disney provided doctors, nurses and a few other things. I planned that trip for 1 year.
I did not , nor would I expect a new trip from Disney. I understand time lost, but you can regain that time in other ways.
The most important thing here is that the boys are better, not what you can gain from them becoming ill.
Best of luck, I hope you all can be together soon.

Once again 5-7?days is your interpretation of what you have created by reading & trying to desypher... Melia does have a bathtub & kitchen it’s a simple fact. My daughter in law does not stay anywhere without those 2 things & we have done a lot of family vacations together over the years.
I ask you this please Stop trying to create chaos when there is none. My son can handle all this just fine on his own, he doesn’t read these boards, and Would not be persuaded one way or the other about what I think or anyone else in this situation with HIS children. We do both agree it was a shame that we lost the time that we did with one another which is why I am still feeling sad... we all have jobs I can’t just hop on a plane to visit. We already did that for our planned vacation. Until we meet again, & I’m sure we will, I’ll just have to live with the sadness...
Easy for you to speculate what’s best for the children, but in reality none of us can unless your the parents following doctors orders.
I don’t know why you spending your time trying to contradict every little aspect of this. You must enjoy it, I’ve never read any of your other posts but I’m thinking I’ve been warned about the ignore button for good reason, which I’m going to use right this instant.

That must have been so awful, especially when Disney has such a good reputation for dealing with food allergies. I'm sorry you and your family had to go through that, and I hope Disney makes things right and throws in a little extra magic too. Food allergies are terrible.

It seemed that you were expecting something, which is why I asked.

I am sorry that you are upset that some here, myself included have asked for clarification. I won't ask again. It is clear yiou have decided not to share what you wanted from DIsney, whether you asked for it or not.

I will also add that if your son is handling this, and that woudl be how it woudl be addressed in my family, fit seems odd that you also spoke to Disney. My son would be appalled.

Disney was the one that approached me when the incident happened, along with each member of the family I individually. We never asked for their contact number, which is why I posted afterwards.
I was just looking to see if there was anyone else to talk to about it while I was there. which is why I posted while I was there ... my son is grateful that I was there when everyone was in shock. It was rough to comprehend what was happening to the children at the time especially for my daughter in law.
I got my answer here in a very nice pm from someone which is greatly appreciated.

It was my understanding that she did not have any epi pens with her; she went home and that's when they gave her 2 doses of epi pens. Have absolutely no idea if that would have helped but time is of the esssence in my understanding of these types of allergens

Time is very much of the essence, although if this was her first full blown attack she may not have known the early signs.
The best case was to call an ambulance.
Even if she had had her EpiPen with her it still needed to be called as she can require multiple shots.

 

[zoo2tycoon]

OP once again I'm sorry your family dealt with this.

Why do you keep responding? You do realize you are jeopardizing any compensation you might hope for by posting over and over. When people ask questions you get defensive and details change. How are you going to respond to Disney if needed? Hopefully not with an attitude.

Personally I'd quit responding as lawyer would have fit knowing this was out for everyone to see (I've said this to you before) and Disney has a wealth of information to use to offer minimal compensation! It wouldn't be hard for anyone to figure out who you are.

Say it forget it.... Type it regret it

Hear that on People's Court all the time

I was just posting my feelings, I said it all to the Disney people as well. Nothing’s changed...
it’s not like it’s a court case
I will heed your advice tho & stop trying to defend my feelings.

I'm sure you've put me on "ignore", but I think PP was referring to you contacting Disney AFTER the event (what your first post asked about).

And tell me if I'm remembering correctly... you wanted to talk to someone else (a Disney employee) simply to let them know you were so upset because you were losing family time together?

I'm not trying to create chaos in the least. What did I say about what's best for the children?

Put me on ignore. Don't accuse me of twisting your words when you're clearly putting what other people said at my feet.

What a train wreck this thread is

 

[Allison]

I’m calling “Uncle”, in other words I give up fighting off all accusations here.

But you didn't and this is the second time you said you were done and 5 minutes later you were engaging again. This isn't going to get on track. Let it die instead of talking in circles.

 

[zoo2tycoon]

What a train wreck this thread is

That's what happens when people post things they shouldn't when possibly expecting compensation. Asking opinions, changing stories and getting upset when people question or don't agree with them.

 

[Dentam]

DANG. I hadn't been on the community boards here in quite awhile and now I'm remembering why I started steering clear of them. It's amazing how people will treat each other when behind a computer screen.

Op, you should definitely abandon this thread now. I'm so sorry you were interrogated and treated with such a lack of sympathy by so many here. It's truly mind boggling to me.

I sometimes search new posts and clicked on the title without noticing it had been posted in the community boards section. Just figured it out this afternoon after seeing how downhill it had gone.
