Wow, I cannot believe this picture is from 1999, it was our first visit to WDW and we stayed in the amazing Wilderness Lodge Hotel which was so gorgeous, both Charlotte and Matthew managed to get chicken pox, Charlotte did have a slight rash on the way out and then exploded and then Matthew followed seven days later, they where a bit under the weather, but what better place to keep them amused. The hotel staff where fantastic and the couple of days we stayed in our room, they left them some Disney beanies which I though was a lovely, kind thing to do. Of course the UK does not immunise against chicken pox, however the Americans I believe do, so it was quite funny when we hit the little beach at the hotel, it was amazing how quickly we cleared the beach, I must admit I don't blame them, they did look bad on some days. We where even stopped at the airport by the rudest attendant ever and asked did we have medical documentation to fly, so we had to go all the way to a medical centre to be told what we already knew, that he would be able to fly! Oh sorry, I have gone on a bit.
A big thanks to

So sorry about the Chicken Pox. My oldest had the chicken pox when we went out of town to a country peddlar show (something like the scrapbook convention). I didn't know what it was. . . thought it was the 90 degree heat. Boy was I in trouble with my brother, having visited his kids earlier that week. Glad the younger son had the vaccine.
