Disneyland® Specials

Just tell them it would mean a lot to you. After all, it is your celebration isn’t it?

Well, unfortunately you can’t convince anyone to do anything they don’t want too.

So if you really want to go, prove to them that you are truly serious about wanting to go.

First, tell them, when they are both together, that your “true and only desire” (use those words) is to go the WDW for your birthday. If they say no, don’t argue, fuss, or get upset, just look them in the eye and ask if that is their final answer.

If yes. (In very quiet serious frank tones, while looking them in the eyes) Thank them for there honesty, and that you will then start saving to go by yourself. Then you tell them you don’t want a quincenera party, and that it is a silly idea of spend so much money on something you don’t want, or will not be attending. And while you are at it, tell them you don’t want any Christmas presents either.

But you really have to work and save money, and you really need to mean and follow through with everything you say. Otherwise everything you say are just threats, and threats carry no weight without actions behind them. Action begets action.

Also if they get upset, don’t say a thing, don’t yell back just sit there calmly, smile, and listen, and when they are done say, “Thank you for making that clear. I now know where I stand. But I also mean what I say. Thank you.” Repeat as necessary.

Do this a few times over the next several months, and report your saving totals. Soon they will understand that you are resolute about your decision, and that you are willing to make sacrifices to achieve your dreams.
