Can It Be Done?

[AintNoOtherMan]

Long time no see lol, been a while since I've visited these forums. But I'm currently in need of some help. So my parents are offering to bring me on a high school graduation trip, and of course I want to go to WDW. But the problem is is that I want to bring my boyfriend (They've said I could bring a friend so thats not what I'm concerned about), who they do not know about yet. I plan on telling them as soon as I turn 18, next month, which is when I'd have to start planning my trip? The other option is telling them and starting next weekend, but we are not emotionally prepared for that. So could I start planning for a June 5-11 trip, starting around February 20th, assuming all goes well with them, potentially later? I'm just concerned about whether or not we'd be able to get a hotel and reservations. I'm aware we probably won't get our first pick of hotel or dining (I'm okay with that, I'll just be happy that I'm there), I'm really just wanting to know that I'll be able to get a room and we'll be able to eat. I've planned a trip in a month and a half before that turned out great, but that was for October, not June... Thank you so much for helping!

(I'm aware this sounds completely ridiculous, but its something I'm needing to face soon...)

You're asking for advice that's potentially a lot more complicated than what you should be seeking from a Disney forum.

Coming out to your parents is a big deal. If you and your boyfriend aren't emotionally ready now, what's going to change between now and next month? Or June for that matter?

Do you have a feel for where your parents stand in general? Is it possible that they actually already know? Parents aren't always as dumb as their teenagers think.

In the end, the timings are a decision you need to make for yourself. I wish you all the best when you decide the time is right.

Well, I'm not concerned about all of the coming out (I'm already out and I know that I'm telling them about him after my birthday, I just want a week or so to prepare for that, but thanks .), I'm just concerned about whether or not we would have enough time to plan the trip. The random personal details was just my anxiety talking, not really what I was asking lol

OK.

A Disney trip can be planned in a day if necessary.

Odds are if you're not going around 4 July, Christmas or New Year's, you'll be able to find a room and you can always eat [maybe not at Le Cellier or BOG, but...]

Im confused as to what you are worried about regarding the trip. Are you worried your parents wont accept your boyfriend? Or that they wont take you on the trip once you come out? What does the coming out/boyfriend have to do with your trip?

Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. Lots of trips are arranged in a much shorter time period than that. Good luck!

I agree. This is not for this forum.

He's asking if there will be enough time to plan the trip if he waits to plan. He's not asking anyone advice on coming out...only explaining that that's the reason for delaying the planning.
Yes it will be enough time! I know this because last year my sister in law found out around the same time that we were going to WDW in October. So of course she did what comes natural to her and ran to her computer to start planning a trip in July to one up us. She had no issues with rooms, fast passes, dining etc. She even had time to stop at the resort we would be staying at to take lots of pics and send them to us...ahhhh she has issues lol. So I think you should be ok to plan for June. And good luck on the other stuff ❤

That wont be a problem... You can make dining reservations without having anything else booked so if you know you will be there those dates I would start making reservations for places like be our guest now if you want to go.

Yes, that will be plenty of time. Hurry up and tell your parents so you can breathe a big sigh of relief and have fun planning.

If what you're worried about is your parents' approval of sleeping arrangements in a standard room (i.e., you and he sharing a bed) once they know that the friend you're bringing is a boyfriend and not a platonic pal, you/he can always offer to bring a twin-sized air mattress.
