That is so wrong for dropping off auntie and splitting off to WDW. I would have them arrested for elder abuse. That's just wrong and sad.

To bad the word didn't get out earlier. The CMs could have been on the look out and delivered some proxy catch-up for auntie.

Unfortunately, doesn't seem all that rare. You should see what happens to so many of our elderly, sometimes even in the fanciest neighborhoods:eek:
One person I went to see lived in a very wealthy neighborhood in the Valley, surrounded by multi-million dollar mansions. I was alarmed as he had just left the hospital, but was not answering the phone or the door, so I called the police to break us in to his very tiny home on a large, beautiful lot. The ceiling of his kitchen was caving in from rain leakage, and he had a tree branch propping it up. Thankfully, we did not find him in this ruined place where he'd lived for many years, a relative had taken him out of state.
The next time I drove by, his house was gone and they were building a mansion on the lot......

Complete morons. If they'd had any sense, they'd have known to get her into WDW and then abandon her!

So their decision making process was, "Do we take auntie to WDW or buy new tires for the house?"

And that gets to what I was going to say... were it not so tragic, ...
But in all seriousness, I can think of what would have happened if I knew they were coming and they got into my front cab...
Monorail stops at Pylon 48, just outside Contemporary.
Me: Alright guys, this is your stop! (pops the door)

48 wouldn't happen to be over water, would it?

48 wouldn't happen to be over water, would it?Pavement. From that height where the monorail enters the Contemporary, it'll act in a roughly similar manner.
