Where have Will and his family been, and why was the trip not a good idea?

Will, his mother, and his sisters are returning from a trip to Disney World. Their town had held raised money so that the family could go on a trip together. A bunch of Will's parents' friends had decided that the family needed to get away on the anniversary of his father's death. The family was still not in the mood to have fun, so the trip was not a good idea. The trip felt like a burden, and it was a chore to try to be happy.
