More details to this question:
My husband and I (grandparents of 3) want to take our grandkids to Disneyworld in Florida next February 2015. Our daughter has given us permission and full approval to do so. The father refuses to allow us to take the kids to Disneyworld without taking their mother along with us. She needs to work and does not wish to go but he will not allow them to go with us any other way. If there are no specific travel restrictions in the divorce decree.

If there are no travel restrictions and none of the trip falls during the father's time and there are no restrictions on the kids being with you in the parenting plan, then he has no basis. If any one of the three above conditions is not met, then you can't take the kids. If there is a dispute between them, they should take it to whatever dispute resolution process is in their parenting plan. If it's during time allocated to Dad, the answer is a simple no.

If your daughter has custody she can make the decision. If they have joint custody and can not agree, she needs to file a Motion with the Court asking for the court's authority to allow the trip.

You may need an order of the court and have plenty of time.
