I think it’s going to be a while before I forgive my sister for this. April is literally one of the worst months of the year for me OR Tristan to do a week long vacay, the 3 other grandkids aren’t in 2 sports at that time of year. My dad is retired, they can literally go any time.
I can’t even speak to her right now.

I do agree that they should have definitely consulted you first on the dates.

Yep. Most don’t read. It is becoming a thing in America today all the way to the top of our food chain the last few years. Some just find humor in anything Disney. Trolling Disney has become an art form on most WDW Forums.

Also duly noted: that is single person per room price. Similar to a single person on a cruise rate. If you have 2-5 it is dramatically less per person for the 2 day all inclusive experience. No park tickets necessary.

I am not a SW fan. So it isn’t for me but for those mega fans a trip of a lifetime.

I disagree, its all dependent on the cruise line.

Most charge you per room then add a fee for every additional member.
I do not think that Disney will be "generous" to just slap a single fee for the entire thing for who knows how many people.
My bet is that the per person fee will be between 25% to 50% of the price ticket after the first couple.
And enforcing very tight maximum room capacity fees.

Actually, I have checked Steve's news page, as he is a reliable source. It just seems like there isn't as much "news" this year, compared to some previous ones.

I'm also selective about who I'm following in the forum posts about D23. Last year, there were a few well-known, very credible posters who'd update us, and it was really fun to follow them. This year, it seems like a bunch of random members (some of whom are lesser known) have been inconsistently posting.

I'm also assuming some of the disconnect going on here, is due to members mentioning that they have to turn off their phones and place into envelopes. Still also wondering if the main announcements are just being held for today, Sunday.

Honestly, the whole "I am the information king" battle between certain WDWmagic members is annoying. ts just a battle of egos.
I won't mention names but I really have my beef with certain members and their behavior to try to soak the relevancy under petty circumstances.

I’m back for advice from impartial people.,

I found out a few days ago that my parents are taking the grandkids on a surprise trip to Florida in April.. not just Florida, Disney World... and not just my parents, my sister and bro in law are going as well.

I’m livid. Like seriously livid.

1. T will miss a week of school, and a week of soccer and baseball. (Which means that I can’t take him out for another vacation)
2. He has been asking me to go back to Disney.
3. Selfishly I do NOT want him to visit Galaxy’s Edge for the first time without me!!!!

I’m so angry with all of them. I said that I won’t allow it. My sister and I got in a huge argument, she wants to go because they did another trip with her mother in law. I can’t go at that time due to work, my mom says that’s the only week that makes sense for all of them and they want to experience WDW one last time with their grandkids. I’ve been asking them to go for the past few years and they always decline!! Now, they’re going.

Would you be angry?
Am I acting like a 2 year old?
I can’t say “no” because it’s not right to do to him, but I’m so hurt and mad about this whole thing.

I would be angry as well if they had pulled that stunt (aka refusing to go for years and out of nowhere decide to go in the week I couldn't go on which the date conflicts badly with my free time AND my son's/daughtner's school, sports, etc..).

I realize I sound petty. Vacations (as in grandparents and grandkids) have always been scheduled around the most convenient times for the kids, and the parents. i.e. My oldest nephew plays high school football, my parents never schedule something once conditioning starts, thru the end of the season. This summer he chose to stay home and work in lieu of going with them.. but he could have gone.
I know 100% that my youngest nephew will switch to select soccer next year., I doubt my sister will vacation during april when that happens.

Then why they are refusing to accommodate your son's? is high school football more important than the 2 sports of your son?
Almost feels like favoritism.

It's a very nice gesture for them to want to surprise and take the children to WDW. However, I can't quite figure out why there wasn't some sort of conference call initiated by the grandparents, with the parents of the kids. They meant well and all, but I think it's a slight bit of a stretch to just assume that whatever dates they picked, would just automatically work for all involved.

I like the suggestion from @ajrwdwgirl about maybe you joining them for a few days, and letting T stay for the entire trip. I can also understand that it might be the last big trip the grandparents make down there, and T would probably feel left out, if he wasn't allowed to go with his cousins, etc. Doesn't make your final decision any easier, but these were just some thoughts I had.

Wow.

So basically, they planned a trip without telling you, planned to take your kid along, and basically didn't talk to you about going when you've been asking them to go for years?

Sorry, but as my uncle likes to say, something's out. It sounds like a huge case of favoritism towards your sister and her family.

I'd tell them since they didn't talk to you, you're planning another trip with him just the two of you when it works for you, and they can join you if they want. I mean, I feel bad for T, but this was such a blatant case of favoritism that neither of you needs this in your life.

And he's your family. You are perfectly entitled to want to have first special moments with your own kid. You only get one.
