asking anti-disney dad

[d_dreamer]

ok, now that i have enought money, and mom agreed to go, and the tickets got cheeper (YAY) i have a new problem

my dads very anti disneyworrld. he thinks its fake and a waste of money. i need to ask him in the right way, and i dont no how to. "dad can i go to disneyworld with mum, i saved up all this money and i really want to go." worries me cos he might ask to come. and that would result in getting a second room (dad and my friend wouldnt stay in the same room). and antoehr ticket. and i dont have money for that. the other thing im worried about is when i ask, him going "why spend your money going there when you could go somewhere you've never gone before? like europe?" man im so frusterated

Does he know who you are?
Maybe you could sit down with him and tell him your dream. Your goals.
He might then understand that this means the World to you. :thumbs:

Good luck and Pixie Dust.

I agree with JD, you can`t live your live to please other people, it`s too short for that.

:iagree: I think he'll have a problem saying no to you if you explain 'who you are', as JD said.

Best of luck to you. :Pixiedust

I hate to encourage any kid to rebel against a parent & not knowing how old you are I hate to say "it's your money" but if you are old enough to go without his permission & your mom is going with you, well, it IS your money. You saved it up you should get to use it as you wish. I hate it when people call WDW fake. I had a friend who was an outdoorsy type & he always gave me heck over how fake WDW was. It's not the "real" Italy or he'd say wouldn't it be more exciting to go mountain climbing than ride a man made roller coaster. Uh, no, not to me. Tell him the excitement & happiness you feel when you are there are very, very real! Explain to him what you want to be when you are an adult. I encourage my kids every chance I get that they could be imagineers or anything they wanted to be at WDW. I think that's a fabulous goal for you to have. Good luck with it & sorry I can't be of more help.
