Bringing your child's friend to Disney - etiquette question

I was talking to my brother about this thread, it is his son that I am taking to Disney in November. I asked him if he thought I was rude for not paying for everything, he laughed his head off, he said over the summer his wife's sister took 2 of her nephews to the science museum, mom gave them each $15 for spending money and wife's sister took it from them to pay for their admission tickets! :scared1: SIL's sister is a bit odd, but this blew me away. After that he said no, not rude and he wouldn't let me pay for everything anyway. My brother and SIL aren't really Disney people (they prefer the beach) and are thrilled I am taking said nephew, he has the Disney gene like his Aunt. :goodvibes
 
I don't think it is rude. This is not like a day trip somewhere. Just allowing another child the opportunity to travel with you to Disney is very kind of you.

My parents were the ultimate homebodies. Thank God for other parents letting me go places with their children. My parents had no problem with paying my expenses and if it was not for people offering to take me along, I am not sure I would ever have gotten to go anywhere! :rotfl2:
 
We've never invited a friend for our daughter for this very reason, the additional cost. Even though she's gotten to the age where having a friend would make the trip much more enjoyable, we just won't do it because we would have to be ready to pay the friends entire way. There's only one way it could possibly be done properly. If you know and like the family well enough, ask the friend's family to join yours for the trip. If you ask far enough in advance, it might be a possibility.
