Good luck. My brother and I picketed in front of the house once to get my dad to change some rules. Needless to say it didn't work.

well in 2007 i gave him a 15 minute presentation (it was not very profesional) and i got a 2 week trip for my mom and I at orlando....we went to i think 9 theme parks and we stayed at AKL :) i think this one will work fine

[Derby4me]

[WDWtraveler27]

[TXYankee]

[DisneyKevin]

*whew*

I felt like an ogre.

[WDWtraveler27]

hahaha its okay. next year I'll attend ALL the events :)

[kaligal]

So did you do it? I'm on the edge of my keyboard in anticipation.

I hope he says you can go. But if he doesn't, don't feel badly. My kids made many elaborate presentations thinking that their hard work and showmanship would change my mind...and it didn't. It sometimes made me feel badly about saying "No", though.

I campaigned my entire childhood for a trip to Disney...didn't go until I was an adult. Win some, lose some.

You should try asking for a horse next spring. Spend the whole winter building up to it. Read Black Beauty and tell your family how much you loved it. Start reading all kinds of horse books. Share interesting stuff you learn about horses with your parents, like you're fascinated and excited to share. "Isn't that amazing?!" is a good phrase with which to follow up your info. Leave info about horses that you printed from the internet laying around the house. Rent that horse movie everyone liked so much. Watch it several times. Then, in the Spring, ask. Beg. Plead and whine. Hear "No" at least four times. Then, finally, explain that while you're very disappointed, you understand. You'll get a horse when you're grown up and can afford it. Choke back a few tears while you say it and then run off to your room in an "I don't want you to see me cry" kind of way.

When they're feeling badly about breaking your wee little heart, give it 10-14 days and then ask for a trip to Disney with a list of how cheaply it can be done.

Off to Disney you will go.

Or you'll get a horse. :scared1: Either way, you win.

[willis37862]

Good luck Luis :thumbsup2 Don't take No for an answer ;)

[alebisi]

Good Luck! Let us know how it went as soon as possiblepopcorn::

[WDWtraveler27]

okay so right now during lunch I showed him the powerpoint presentation (which I had to print out because of some technical difficulties) and he read through it and he sayed he would have to think about it. I could see that he wanted to say yes but did not have make a commitment. I explained everything to him and I told him I would be willing to stay at the Pop Century if need be. so I will just have to wait a bit longer for a definite yes or no. :)

[mainegal]

Luis Enrique, who funds your trip?

[WDWtraveler27]

my father, why do you ask?

[jeanigor]

A think about it is SOOOOO much better than a No. Keep working on him!

[WDWtraveler27]

I need to make a contract now :)

[jeanigor]

I need to make a contract now :)

I can notarize it.:thumbsup2

[WDWtraveler27]

so Im thinking my proposal should be: no more trips until july, I wont ask for a car until im 17, no christmas presents (DAP can be my christmas present), I will get a job, I will help around the office more often, I'll get honor roll this semester, not as many character meals when we go to WDW in july.

that sounds good :)

I think those are good concessions/compromises.

Don't give everything up on the first try. Start slow.:laughing:

[WDWtraveler27]

oh darn. my dad sayed no. thanks a lot economy. well at least i tried. I'll see all of you next year for shure :)

[mainegal]

Sorry the answer was no. The funder makes the final decision. One of the good things about being an adult, along with great responsibilty, you get to make your own decisions about your own money.

Keep on working your way into adulthood, keep on dreaming.
I look forward to your imagineering!

[Annette_VA]

Sorry he said no, Luis Enrique :(

There's always next year!

[katscradle]

Sorry your dad has said no!
We will try and update on the dis while we are there for you.

[kaligal]

Damn. Try the horse thing. Seriously.

I don't think hotels rent rooms to minors. They'd have had to go with you.

Better luck next time.

[willis37862]

oh darn. my dad sayed no. thanks a lot economy. well at least i tried. I'll see all of you next year for shure :)

Sorry Luis :guilty: I'm not going this year either, maybe next year for us both :thumbsup2

[TXYankee]

Sorry Louis! The Economy is tough. Maybe when you get a job you can start saving for next years trip!

[WDWtraveler27]

Sorry Luis :guilty: I'm not going this year either, maybe next year for us both :thumbsup2
YES! then we can stalk Teresa! ;p

[willis37862]

YES! then we can stalk Teresa! ;p

Sounds like a plan to me ;)

[WDWtraveler27]

Sounds like a plan to me ;)
