Help me convince my DD she can't borrow an AP...

[seashoreCM]

This could be an easy out for her, then when she gets back she could explain that it didn't work *(some adulteration removed). Then her DH's family won't be tempted to do it again!

If the dead horse had already gone to the glue factory (this thread closed long ago) we never would have found out this interesting hint.

* (edited later) Not confessing that they never actually tried but still loquaciously and not necessarily eloquently, good naturedly and not accusingly, gushing forth with all the litany about finger scanners that she learned from this thread.

These last 5 or 6 posts take this thread in a new direction.

The DH's cousin may look at your DD refusing the AP's as refusing a gift. A gift that to him is worth $500. Also the cousin may now have to come up with a "real" gift.

Weddings are tough enough without this kind of drama.

Good Luck

It's not allowed AND it's not possible. Tickets are nontransferable and the finger scanner will fail. If she takes the ticket, this won't end well.

Someone stated the cousin could see it as not accepting a gift.. this kills me.

If a cousin wanted me to enter my marriage already using a lie on his behalf and my poor judgment for something that will likely fail I call that hardly a gift. If he wanted to gift them for something Disney then a GC can be bought anywhere these days that will assist.

I surely do not see this ending well. Some get away with lying and cheating, others do not.

I agree but every one has their own set of values, the cousin may not see anything wrong with this. In fact he may think its perfectly legal and doesn't know any better.

He could be thinking this is just like loaning them a trailer to use at FW or a time share for the week which does have a value.

Maybe she could also just tell the cousins that they bought a discounted package that includes park tickets. That would be reasonable, and could help her to save face with the family.

I really didn't want to chime in here, because well it's not my place. But I decided to make a comment anyway...cu well I guess I just don't know any better

Anyway, if I didn't lurk on these boards all the time I probably wouldn't have realized that this wasn't do-able...because I had no idea a name was on them. I understand that people think one should know by now that using someone elses information is wrong...however (and here comes the point I promise lol) I know a few people who are season ticket holders of the Detroit Tigers and when they can't make a game we graciously accept the offer to go in their place, same with other sporting events. So I personally would have just figured it was the same idea...those who don't know any better would have probably assumed the same thing

However because I've been lurking here so long I realize the difference...others may not if they have never been properly informed


however I have just realized that chartle just stated basically the same point...so thanks

And you never would have been able to mess with someone else's quote.

Your insertion didn't sound like the poster you were quoting so I went back to look. Isn't it against DIS policy to quote someone and then change what they wrote?? Just curious.

OP - the suggestion about just saying that they discovered that it didn't work (without specifically stating where/how they discovered it) might work well. My only concern would be that if the cousin honestly believes that this is a legit thing to do (sharing APs), they may be mortified if they only find out after the fact that it isn't okay. Given that the passes state that they are not transferable, I'm not sure how he could think it was legit, but you never know.

.....I am going to try to make this be the last thing I say on this subject. This is not my first time hanging out on an internet board, so I know this kind of thing can happen, and it's not going to be nearly enough to chase me away. Someone who was new to the whole process might be another story.

Let me close one more time with a big thank you to all who helped. You guys are pretty cool.

Well, Willa, think you got your answer, LOL? This is one heck of a dedicated, helpful group, no?

Glad to see you are staying around.

I really did get my question answered, up down and sideways! Also, a couple more questions I never even asked at all!

 

[Willa]

I didn't mean "protect" in a negative way. I was talking about just what you said in this post you did-presenting her with the choices and getting her to see it was wrong. Hopefully your daughter can convince the fiance that this is a bad idea.

Try to enjoy the wedding, they can be stressful!

Thanks, mrbghd, sounds like I might have jumped to the wrong conclusion about your post. I apologize for that, and I appreciate your well wishes. You are right about weddings being stressful! I have to confess to being glad I only have the one daughter to do a wedding for.

Would like any help with what to wear for the event?

Maybe some help with flowers?

Well, I've got my dress, but I still need to find a nice shrug to wear over it - would you mind running to the mall for me?

Well I don't know what a shrug is mostly because I'm a guy .

Sorry.

In that case, maybe you could pick Aunt Joanne up from the airport.
