The family lived only 15 minutes from Disneyland, and they 'vacationed' at the hotel for two weeks every year for about four years. There's much more to the story, but I don't want to give it away. The story is amusing, heartbreaking and just a bit troubling. If you don't have a local NPR station airing it this weekend, it will be available for online streaming at www.thislife.org beginning next weekend. You really don't want to miss it.
