The trip to Disney was incredibly meaningful for Autumn's dad. Her father had once asked for donations to make this trip happen, seeking a break from the challenging experience of witnessing her mother's recent health struggles.

The actor further explained that a doctor had told them that it was "mentally unhealthy" for a kid, who was just ten years old at the time, to constantly care for her mother and be by her side 24/7.
