Man Offers Free Disney World Trip, Gets Accused of Being “Cheap” by Family
A free trip to Disney World sounds amazing, right? It must be a dream come true for most families, but sometimes it can turn into a nightmare. A Reddit user, Safe_Ad_6111, offered to take his sister-in-law and her family to Disney World for free. He even covered the majority of the expenses by using his airline and hotel points. However, things turned sour when his sister-in-law accused him of being “cheap” for putting her family into a different hotel.
A Nasty Family Feud Over a Free Trip
The family vacationer's plan to have a happy family vacation swiftly turned into a nightmare when his family was staying somewhere else and not in the same hotel as his own family. The sister-in-law and her family were offered free flights, Disney park tickets, and their own hotel room in an area called Disney Springs. But this was not enough for the sister-in-law and her family. According to the thread, they told his in-laws that he was making their kids jealous by not letting them enjoy the same stuff as his own family.
Disney Springs: Themed Retail, Dining, and Entertainment Center
For those who don't know, Disney Springs is a “themed retail, dining, and entertainment center” owned by Disney and located near the Disney World theme parks. Disney does not own hotels in the area, so they lack some of the perks onsite Disney guests have access to, such as transportation between theme parks.
Cancel the Ticket or Take Their Kids?
After the man's wife told her sister and brother-in-law to “STFU and accept the gift,” which they refused, he gave them the choice to accept the trip, or he could cancel the reservations altogether. The sister-in-law and her husband started yelling, accusing him of taking something away from their children. Some users on the thread suggested the man could cancel the in-laws' tickets but take their kids instead or cancel the entire trip.
Is the Man a Jerk for What Transpired?
The post has not been updated with any resolution for the family fight, but most commenters responded that the trip planner was not a jerk for what had transpired. Some even volunteered their own families to go in place of his sister-in-law's family. It seems that sometimes even a kind gesture can turn into an ugly family feud.
