If it makes her happy to sit with her teddy bears in the GF, then let her live out the rest of her days being happy. I hope one day I get the honor of meeting her.

She needs help. Beyond the wig, drawn on eyebrows, bags of dirty old animals, sitting in the same chair day after day, this woman is crying out for help. The loss of her husband was obviously too traumatic for her, along with other mental health concerns that have consumed her. Please don’t take mental health issues lightly. They are just as important as your friend with cancer, or loved one with diabetes or Parkinson’s disease. Nobody wants to address these issues, but someone has to step in when a person is suffering like this. Blessings to Lynn….hope she can find treatment and be happy.

He passed in 2007…she sits there every single day,just to enjoy the music and “be close to her husband” She is a very nice woman,doesn’t speak much if at all and is 73 yrs young. I cant wait to go and set with her in December with my boys.
Never judge a book by its cover.

In contemplating what I wanted to say about “the lady”, I read the above comments by Leah, and I could not say it better. I watched her and asked questions of hotel staff for one entire day, and then sat down at her side, and our conversation quickly began. Lynn has really tugged at my heartstrings. Yes, I know she is different, but, by the Grace of God go I and a host of others. We had a lovely visit on Saturday afternoon and she told me her story – yes, she and her husband frequented the hotel to listen to the music, so this is why she returns each day. I noticed cast members spoke as they passed her chair, and I believe she is well-respected and considered part of the charm of the grand hotel. On Sunday after we had checked-out and were waiting for our Magical Express to the airport, I looked for Lynn, but she was not in “her” chair. I visited out front with Richard, the hotel’s greeter for the past 22 years. He saw Lynn arrive earlier and knew where she sits each morning. In a very few minutes, Richard exits the hotel followed by Lynn pulling her suitcase with the bears attached. She was all smiles, and we had another good visit. I was careful not to say “goodbye” as she told me early in our conversations that she doesn’t like that word. On our next visit to Disney, we will stay at the Grand Floridian for many reasons – one of those is so I can visit with my new friend!
