My own 4 children are ages 25-31, safely raised and living happy, productive lives. My husband's oldest daughter sadly has had substance abuse problems for many years. Last week we received a letter from her asking us to take custody of her 4 year old daughter while she serves a mandatory term in rehab and perhaps some time in incarceration. How could we say no and let this little one go into foster care? We were also very blunt about the conditions that would have to be met before she could get her daughter back. So yesterday we drove 200 miles with lovely little Isabella. We're in the midst of the legalities of custody as well as getting counseling and a pediatrician arranged. Gary and I have had a trip planned to WDW for months and are trying to decide if its right to take the little one so soon after her arrival. We'd planned to fly on December 4, stay at POFQ, attend MVMCP, take in the holiday decorations, etc and return on Dec 11.
Finally, here are my questions about taking a 4 year old to WDW for a week: Would you recommend I buy an umbrella stroller and take it with us on the plane or rent at the parks each day? What kind of sunscreen do we need for a very fair skinned blonde? What shows would you not miss with a 4 year old? (I know she'll live Playhouse Disney.) Which ones would you stay away from?
Thanks in advance from Isabella's "grandMary Alice"
