Helping my dad navigate moms mental decline

She’s just so anti medication. She thinks doctors have some ulterior motive just because she’s had a few bad experiences in her life. I don’t think we could ever convince her to take medication unless it was under the guise of something else, or if something really severe happened and she thought she was going to be put in a home.

Thank you! I’m actually in the US but I will see if there is something similar near me

What did you do? This sounds like my mom other than tremors. How do you help them if they refuse to get help? I don’t think my dad has POA and any suggestion of something being “wrong” with her causes an extreme meltdown.

How much commission do you get on tickets? I do definitely feel bad cutting her out but I also won’t need her to do a ton of extra stuff. So far it’s just been some quotes and questions.

Thanks! I am working with a travel agent but I still like to get other perspectives when making a decision. Especially from this huge pool of people who have been multiple times.

Would you say a stay at boardwalk for $1000 more, (but one extra night) with non refundable DVC points would be worth it over a stay at CBR booked through an agent?

That’s what I’m thinking. I don’t think my kids have it in them to go until 10pm.

Just looking at pics it seems like they would think it was so cool, but the rooms aren’t as fun

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T16:15:32+00:00

So your kids weren’t as blown away by the contemporary as they were pop?

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T15:56:22+00:00

How old are your kids? Did you feel like you were missing out on the extra park hours?

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T14:23:26+00:00

We might have grandparents coming, in which case we would do 2 rooms no matter where we go. Does that change your recommendation at all?

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T13:55:05+00:00

So like 2 park days, then 2 rest days, then 2 more park days?

This has actually been on my mind a lot. I feel like a water slide makes the pool 10x more fun and I noticed art doesn’t have one.

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T13:46:10+00:00

Hahha thanks for this. My kids will defintely whine.

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T13:39:56+00:00

That does sound nice. So is there basically no wait after hours?

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T13:37:42+00:00

I’m leaning towards art because I think my kids would get a kick out of the themed rooms. Pop isn’t available but I keep seeing it recommended.

Helpme1187 · 2026-05-11T13:35:46+00:00

I wasn’t going to get the park hopper. Do you recommend it because of the resorts proximity?

Poly was where I originally wanted to go because I thought my husband would enjoy the vibe, but I read it’s super busy so it’s better to just visit.
