Help!!! Is my vacation ruined?!

[JenS]

The whole point of the post was that she was asking advice about the RESORT. She never once asked for advice on what to do about her father. She wanted to know about the rooms and got a TON of unwanted, unrequested opinions about her father and the situation. Maybe if everyone would have focused on what she asked for...there wouldn't have been a problem.

If that were the case, she could've asked those same exact questions without providing lengthy details on her personal situation.

She probably shouldn't have included the information if she didn't want comments on it.

Plus she titled it "Is my vacation ruined?" That is asking for advice on her situation. I would say YES you vacation is ruined if you planned a romantic vacation with BF and Dad wants to tag alone in the same room.

She's upset! Of COURSE she is going to add lengthy details about her personal situation. Good grief!

She asked about what to do about the room, not her father. Her father was going regardless. Anything said to the contrary was not helpful.

It's just weird being a grown up of legal age and sleeping in the same room with a significant other and one of your parents.

Wow. I am surprised to read this thread, and see numerous people finding it unacceptable for adult family members to share the same hotel room to sleep in. DH & I are sharing a Poly resort room with my parents during our next WDW vacation. Doesn't seem at all questionable to us.

Well, then.. OF COURSE people will comment on it whether she asked to be or not. Whatever you post here is open to opinions and comments. If that bothers someone, either leave out the emotional details, post the details and expect opinions or don't post.

I think Luv2trav put it best.

...while the situation appears to be unusual, based on the response here, I find the whole notion a bit refreshing. Before people flame me, I believe its been pointed out more than once that the OP wanted advice as it related to booking an extra person at the last minute. Granted, the whole side issue as the "why" was unnecessary...the issue was that "how."

However, as we all seem to be focusing on the "properness," I feel the need to weigh in. *rolling up my sleeves and ducking slightly I'm impressed that Dad has not simply abdicated his responsibility at age 18. If your value system says its wrong to cohabitate (even for a vacation), then its wrong at 16, 18, 22, or 40. It wasn't that many years ago that the common conscience of society would have found the situation unacceptable, and I find it an interesting window on society not only how "Acceptable" it seems to be, but the level of distaste and (for some posters here) the anger shown here is nothing short of amazing.

The OP clearly is accepting of the situation, although disappointed. She clearly has the best perspective of the "why" and I think the rest of us should resist the urge to offer unrequested advice.

BRAVO!!!! WELL SAID.
And I think all the good ideas have been lost in these endless pages of discussion that has truely avoided the OP's question.
So..... let's bring it back....

And again I say.... (and many others have said the same).... get 2 rooms at POP Century. Ask that they be connected.
Dad and DBF can sleep in one and you in the other.
seriously...... It is GREAT to have 2 bathrooms!!!!!
Keep your reservation as is.... and just have Dad reserve his own without the tickets.....
It is the easiest solution.
You will have a fantastic time!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe it or not a lot of couples like to have sex while on vacation.

I think from the title of the thread her father was going along so no funny business would happen.

Pretty much what you just said. OP also said she was near tears Sorry to offend with the offer of sympathy...

OP --
I wouldn't think you would be comfortable on the trundle bed at POR. It is rather small, meant more for a child. They only give out cots at the moderate resorts if the resort is overbooked. You can get one at the Swan&Dolphin for a charge of $25 a night. Don't forget your dad would also have to pay to park his car there, I think $10 a night.

I still think your best bet would be to have dad get his own room at the Pop. That way you can keep your package.

Not questionable, but for a trip that the OP wanted to be ROMANTIC???

That does seem like part of a romantic vacation as the OP originally posted.

I'm with you, Disneylvr...There is a big difference between two married couples sharing a room, and a 22year old and her boyfriend planning a romantic getaway that includes her Daddy in the hotel room.

As I said before - If she didn't want comments on her personal situation, she could've simply asked the question about 3 adults to one room - what are the resort options for a tight budget for separate beds, etc?
