"We just can't afford it."
I hear it often, and I understand it completely. So can I gently offer another way of looking at it when the quotes someone else has provided, are just a little too much. ๐
Sometimes it genuinely isn't the right year, and I'll always tell you honestly if that's the case. I've talked families out of trips before now or encouraged them to put trips off for a year or so, and I'd do it again... if i think it isn't going to meet your expectations.
But often it isn't that it can't be done.
It's that nobody's ever shown them how. ๐
๐ท Spread over months rather than found in one go
๐
The right time of year instead of the most expensive one
๐จ The right hotel rather than the fanciest one
โ A deposit now, the rest later, and no rush in between
And can I be really honest with you about something? ๐
Offsite is not the poor relation. Whether it's Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World in Florida, or Disneyland in California, I stay offsite myself sometimes when I visit, and I have the most magical time. If the top-tier Disney hotel isn't within your means, that does NOT mean you can't have an absolutely wonderful trip. Hand on heart, I promise you that. โจ
You'll see a lot of people pushing the upgrades, the add-ons, the this and the that. That's not me. My job is finding what's genuinely right for your family, not the most expensive version of it.
Because Disney, wherever in the world you're headed, can absolutely be done without spending a fortune. ๐ You do not need to stay in a Deluxe resort to be able to experience the magic. Flat out.
That's my actual job. Not talking anybody into anything. Looking at what's really possible for your family and telling you the truth about it, including when the truth is "not this year."
So before you decide it's out of reach, let's just have a chat.
It costs nothing, and you might be surprised. โจ
