Late January/early February. I know before the first cruiseof the year. I am feeling to lay to go through their catalogue but they did two whole home voogs about it one where they were in Winter Garden to see the actual ENT and one to see the audiologist. I remember thinking it was weird they had to go to two different doctors for something that was so routine. They had him wearing the purple headphones on the Wish for one day and we never saw them again.
Thanks! (and also thanks to
@Artoo Detoo for the date-stamp!)
YEP. I truly believe - given they specifically said the doc said Butters could probably get an appt for turnaround on the surgery pretty quickly - that the Trackers were given a date earlier and it was met with, "Oooh, we can't do that date, we have a cruise planned on the Wish. Oh, you have another date? Nope, got another Disney cruise planned on the Fantasy."
So I firmly believe there was no true wait list.
There was a "How about let's wait until after he's out of school" and they booked an appointment for then. Cuz how do you go from continually complaining about a wait list a mile long to - *poof* - instantly having an appt. that just happens to be when school's over?
As per usual with them, they leave a very specific thing out of the story while trying to continue to play the woe-is-me-life-is-so-hard victim routine.
