First Happy New Year to all!
Cast of characters - 5 of us - my sister, my niece & her 2 children (girl 9 & boy 1&1/2) & me. The beginning was perfect - in another forum I mentioned how for the 9 yr old it was a surprise & the look on her face when she found out was priceless. Arrived late on Thurs the 3rd & basically just got the rooms (2 at CBR) plus dinner at the food court. Friday it rained so we went to EPCOT since we thought more indoor activities there (plus had an ADR at Le Cellier). You know how it can be, rain dampened but didn't destroy the feeling of the 1st day. About 4am that night my sister is pounding on the connecting door & tells me my niece is in tremendous pain. I tell her to call the front desk & within minutes EMT's plus security arrive (luckily kids never woke up). I go with my niece to Celebration Hospital where it is determined she has appendicitis & is scheduled for emergency surgery for later that day. (Since my niece lives with my sister I figured kids wouldn't be as troubled with Grandma only around) So all day Sat my niece & I are in the hosp while my sister goes with the kids to MK. Now must say that the hosp was great & probably the cleanest I've ever been in plus in this situation Disney paid for my taxi ride back to CBR. Surgery went well so my niece was released late Sunday but couldn't do much so we had to rent wheelchairs for the remainder of the trip (plus a car so we could avoid the buses & her being jostled). So overall while it wasn't quite the trip I had envisioned & we didn't get to see all we had hoped to just being there still gave us the Disney magic (Osborne family lights were great) that keeps us going back.
