Need help! Friend trying to hijack our vacation.

[Mrtommorrow1987]

6 for us, 2 for him with us.

I'm a dude. There isn't a chance in hell I'm staying in a hotel room with my mom and her 2 friends while sleeping in the same bed as my mom. Reading through the thread I think everyone is on the same page. This isn't normal.

Glad it worked out. I hate to be put in sticky situations as it makes you feel bad, even though you shouldn’t. Have a wonderful time!

I agree with previous posters. “No,” is a completely sentence. A person who doesn’t accept that answer without “proof” or additional argument and justification is NOT your friend. She wants to be your boss.
This is a woman who is perfectly fine sleeping in the same bed with her grown adult son and he is fine doing it. What does this tell you about both of them?

the answer is no, and if she persists, tell her the option is to continue as is on the ressie, or you will call and remove her from it. She is making the changes, therefore if she wants them she can jump through the hoops to male them. And by them, I mean finding lodging for her son or the two of them together. The only call you’re making is to separate her.

in conclusion: she is not your friend.

I have not read the entire thread, but I would explain 2 queen beds and one pull out sofa. Mom has one bed, you have sofa, and is her adult son going to share her bed since there is no room for a roll away bed? That should solve the issue per quick.

Everything turned out well

Glad it worked out! I was all fired up on your behalf, haha. I've been in similar situations before and it really sucks.

There is no pull out sofa in WL rooms.

First, she should have at least offered to split the room 4 ways. But I don't think that change would even be worth the lost space and privacy.

$500/nite by 3ppl = $166 ($332 you & mom)
$500/nite by 4ppl = $125 ($250 you & mom)
So you two would save $160 over 2 nights, probably not worth the disruption.

If somehow there's a way to agree on him joining (not likely), I'd plan time for you & mom to go off on your own and only meet up with them occasionally, maybe for a meal or a certain ride. Otherwise your plans will end up getting trashed for darling boy's interests.

Don't forget that an extra adult in a deluxe room means $25 more per night.

FYI, the extra adult fee for deluxe resorts is $35 per night.

I’d tell your scrub friend and her scrub son to go pound sand. You and mother go and have a blast. Your scrub friend and her scrub son will have to make their own arrangements. Or you and your Mom make your own.

Wow. OP already said that the issue has been resolved.

I'm agreeing with numerous other posters. NO! You should tell her that the plans are set, and if her son won free tickets, he should use them another time. If she were to book a separate room for her and her son, then you and your mother are out money because her 1/3 is gone and it makes your costs go up. And since you've been planning this trip for a while, it's not right for her to try and change it last minute. I'm sorry, but a true friend wouldn't do that. If you tell her you want things to stay as they are and she gets upset then she is not a real friend.

Yay! Glad friend backed down on bringing her son. What a thing to suggest, ugh.

 

[need2travel]

So glad it worked out, have a great trip!!

 

[Chief Powhatan]

I am glad you got it resolved SwirlTheCitrus and I hope you have a great trip.

 

[sebovol]

Get her own room

 

[dchronister]

I guess I’m confused about what I know about the dining plan, I thought everyone staying in a room had to be on a dining plan if anyone was and it had to be the same dining plan and duration! Even if I am wrong, tell your friend that is why he can’t be in your room!!!

I am happy that it worked out for you. We had a similar situation where someone that we know (and care about) tried to get herself attached to our family trip. I gave a firm 'NO" as the response. Even if we had wanted to, we truly couldn't accommodate her wishes. WE had every sleeping space in our DVC room filled and we had everything booked for almost a year with no ability to add her. Imagine our shock when we arrived at MCO to find her sitting there waiting for us! She wanted us to add her to our DVC reservation and bring her into WDW right then and there!

Sometimes people do very surprising things!
