Entitled Couple Demands BIL Pay For Their Luxury Hotel Rooms After He Paid For Their Entire Disney World Vacation

Going to Disney World is not cheap. I'd argue that going on a European vacation is more affordable than going to Disney World for a week and staying in an on-property hotel. You have to buy park tickets, hotel rooms, and food for the week, and that's not to mention that you now have to pay for Fast Passes and any other extra experience in the park. The days of affordable Disney vacations are long behind us, and if you can go to the parks for any discounted rate, you should be grateful. 

A father with extra airline points decided it would be kind to pay for his brother and sisters-in-law to come on his family's Disney World vacation. He paid for their whole family's flights, hotel, and park tickets. Unfortunately, they did not accept his offer with gratitude and complained that they would be staying in a hotel paid for by airline points.

    Font - This summer I am taking my family to Disney World. We are going to stay at one of the resorts on the property. My sister in law and her family had a hard time during the pandemic so I decided to do something nice and invite them along. My treat. I said I would pay for their flights, hotel, and park tickets.

    Font - Everyone was excited until she started talking to my wife. Now she is upset that we are staying at one of the resorts and they have to stay in Disney Springs. Apparently I'm being cheap by using points for their hotel instead of just paying for them to stay at the same resort as us.

    Font - My wife told her sister and brother-in-law to STFU and accept the gift but they didn't. They told my in-laws that I was making their kids jealous by not letting them enjoy the same stuff as us. To be clear the hotel I booked for them is very nice. It's just not The Grand Floridian. So I finally talked to them and gave the the choice of accepting my gift or not coming since I could still cancel their reservations.

    Font - They started yelling at me for being an asshole and taking something away from their children. I had talked to them like adults but when they started screaming their kids heard them and found out that they might not be going. Now their kids are pissed at their parents for possibly fucking up their vacation. And I'm the bigger asshole for making them look bad in front of their kids. AITA?

    Font - Empty_Comfort_4513 . 1d Partassipant [4] S 2 Awards Let me get this straight... You're gifting them airline tickets, park tickets AND a nice hotel and they demand more? Cancel their tickets. Immediately. For their benefit too so they drop this entitled idiocy forever. So the kids learn you get NOTHING if you're being an ass. So they don't try to walk all over you in the future. NTA.

    Font - Doctor StrangeMD • 23h 2 Awards NTA obviously. So here's what I would do. I would price out by cash what it would cost for what you were giving them. I would write an email to your wife, your SIL/ BIL, In laws. State the facts. You recognized how difficult things had been for them and that you wanted to do something nice.

    Font - What you offered. With price breakdown. State that you are offended they would not be appreciative of the gift. 2. They can accept the current gift as is. You recognize that this was an emotional reaction on their part but you feel you deserve an apology for their reaction. That you recognize this is all "stressful" and their reaction did not meant to come off as ungrateful but that is how you are receiving it. And your feelings are hurt but you would be happy to move forward.

    Font - 3. That you will gladly remove the hotel and they can book the grand Floridian with prices listed. On their own dime. And you still want an apology. 4. If they find option 1 & 2 unacceptable. Then you will rescind the gift offer. Apologize for giving them a gift and the matter will be closed. ... 43.6k 3.6k

    Font - EDIT: Okay, scratch that. I feel bad for the kid, but so many people have made the case that it will either create more drama or set an expectation in the mind of the entitled in-laws that from now on you should be taking their children on vacation with yours. It's too bad that they couldn't just accept your generous gift. 41.8k

    Font - S3xySouthernB • 23h I feel so bad for those kids They have the right to be angry At least their anger isn't misplaced at OP. Dump the parents and bring the kids, they seem at least grateful and even though their parents don't deserve a break those kids shouldn't be punished (which puts OP in a bad spot). I guess if OP cancels everything for the entitled in laws (as they deserve) they could always wait until in laws apologize and then only take the kids (depending on their ages) but they l

    Rectangle - meadow_chef. 1d 1 Award Your SIL could have chosen this route: "Your uncle is just amazing and is offering us this unforgettable trip! We will be staying at a different location but doing all of the parks and activities together. This will give us chance to have some time with just us as a family too! Aren't we lucky to have such generous people in our family?! We are really so blessed!" But, alas, "WAH WAH WAH!! I WANT MORE MORE MORE!!" Edit: YOWZA!! An award! Thanks so much! Reply

    Font - SeigePhoenix • 23h Based on what OP wrote it seems the kids did know how lucky they were and are pissed at their parents for potentially messing this up. Sad that the kids are more mature than their parents. 1.5k

    Font - meadow_chef. 1d NTA. I find myself constantly just astonished by the level of audacity and entitlement people feel these days. What a bunch of ungrateful AH! Please leave them at home and ENJOY your vacation with your family. They will be a problem the entire time even if they decide to "slum it" in Disney Springs. Seriously screw them. Learn from this and don't offer something like it again. Reply 1.3k

    Font - trainofwhat • 17h I was raised in Celebration/Orlando and I can confidently say that Disney Springs is a nice place (for Orlando hahah). Would've LOVED to have stayed there as a kid, it's quite pricey and has themed rooms and great reviews. 452 52

    Font - TimLikesPi. 23h My sister rented a house on the beach for a week last summer. She wanted to get away and wanted my other sister and me to come stay for the weekend. It was a lovely house and we had a nice time. Guess who did not get a room with a deck and beach view? I didn't. Did I complain? No. I could still walk out to the beach or the deck off the living room. I enjoyed my time with my sisters and thanked the sister who invited me. I tried to pick up as many checks as I could. Reply 1

    Font - jessy_pooh 1d Partassipant [2] NTA. I never understood why people cared so much about where they stay on a vacation to Disney. Obviously something better than a roach infested motel but I mean it's ultimately just somewhere to sleep after an exhausting long day at Disney. ... Reply 82 82
