How to convince my parents to let me go to Disney world for my birthday.?|196467

I need help! I already pulled the whole _It_ll bring the family together_ and _It_ll be less expensive than Atlantis_ [that_s where we went last year]. But I want to bring my friend Jake with me. And I need more ways to convince her to let the family go for a week.

Hi! Well just to let you know, since it_s your birthday, you can get in for free!! Also, if you have other celebrations such as graduation, anniversaries etc, Disney will work with you to either to get in for free or deduct the price of your visit!!
I_m a HUGE disney freak and when I found out about that I went nuts!! I_m trying to go next year on my birthday!!

Bobbart, your parents may not be saying, _No_ just because they do not want to go. I know I_m always ready to go to Disney World!

Perhaps with all the economic turmoil right now they are trying to do the wise thing and save their money right now. Rather than trying to figure out how manipulate them through guilt or something else, consider that they actually want the best for you and try actually talking to them about why it_s a good/bad idea. If nothing else, they should respect your mature approach to the situation.

Perhaps you could figure out some ways to either help save money or to earn money to show them how much you really want to go.

Hi Jake -
I think you need to understand why your parents aren_t jumping on your bandwagon. What do they object to?

How far from Disney World do you live? Is there an air flight involved? Are you expecting your parents to pay to take Jake along? Would that be more than the family can afford to pay?

If this is the problem - what are you willing to do to help out? Can you earn some money from chores or a job to pay a portion of the expenses? Can Jake or his parents pay his share?

How well do your parents know Jake? Are they concerned that he might get into trouble? If so - what can you do to help them feel more comfortable about taking Jake along? Maybe - bring him by to let them get to know him better.

Does going for a week at your birthday mean missing school? If this is the concern - what can you do to assure your parents that you_ll stay on top of your studies and won_t let your grades slide?

Quit bugging your parents with what you want to do and try to understand where they_re coming from. Maybe then you can negotiate a deal that will work for all of you. (If not this year - then next year.)

In 2009, you can get her a FREE ticket on your birthday. Anyone who visits one of the Theme Parks at the Walt Disney World? Resort in Florida or Disneyland? Resort in California on their birthday in 2009 can get in free. All you have to do is register everyone_s birthday at disneybirthdaytreat.com.

Now if you already purchased a vacation package that includes a multi-day ticket that you��ll use on your birthday, you can choose one of the following birthday treats instead:

A birthday fun card in an amount equal to the price of a Walt Disney World Resort 1-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket** or a Disneyland Resort 1-Day/1-Park Ticket** for them to use on their birthday for merchandise, recreation or fun activities, as applicable, at select participating locations at the Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort; or

A special birthday FASTPASS badge*** for certain attractions at the Theme Park they visit on their birthday; or

A Walt Disney World Resort 1-Day Magic Your Way Base Ticket* or a Disneyland Resort 1-Day/1-Park Ticket for them to use any time until their next birthday.

Regarding rooms....there is such a variety of resorts that can accomodate all different budgets. Depending on when you plan to travel, you can get a Value room under $100 a night to a Moderate to just a little over $100 night. You wouldn_t need car rental because staying on the property you get free Disney transportation to and from the parks and the Airport!!!! Food wise...there are times of the year that offer Free Dining Discounts....if you go then all of you eat for free (1 Counter Service Meal _ 1 Sit Down Dinner _ 1 snack) per person per day. There are many options you can do this inexpensively. A little research and planning will help you convince them!

Hope that helps a bit! If you need anymore info...ask away!

Hope that helps a bit!

How about using the fact that next year, Disney World will let you into the park for free on your birthday...could save them money on tickets. :)

Maybe let them know that Disney_s now letting you in for free on your birthday!
