I have a trip dilemma that I'm looking for input on (slightly DVC-related, but mostly a family issue).
Mil has been with us to WDW twice -- first trip we had her, her sister, my best friend, and her mom with us. Second time mil came we stayed in a 2-bdrm at VWL -- dh's brother and mil's best friend also came.
My parents have never come with us (never had any interest) but yesterday I called my mom while the Travel Channel's special on the WL was on to show her our "home away from home". She thought the WL was really nice, but became completely enthralled with the cabins at Fort Wilderness!!
I mentioned that we're planning a January trip (in a couple of years) for dh's 40th and ds' 16th b-days. I asked if they'd like to join us, with them at FW and us at VWL. She thought that sounded great! She said she really wanted to see "Epcot, and that park with all the countries in it."
Dilemma is this -- I feel like we should also invite mil (we'd get a 2-bdrm and she'd stay with us), since it's her son's 40th and her only grandchild's 16th.
But ds has recently begun having "issues" with mil (she can be slightly .... irrational at times) and he wants to experience WDW with his other grandparents alone, as he's done with her. I can totally understand that, but still feel like inviting her is the right thing to do.
All 3 parents get along fine (but aren't buddy-buddy or anything) and would probably even golf together. But mil might also feel like the odd-man-out at times, having no spouse. My folks are totally fine with her coming, and my mom agrees we should probably invite her.
Any thoughts??
