Planning a vacation... (venting)

tamararachel2

So we're planning a vacation next year to Disney with both sides of the family and this is a pain. My family has gone several times and we have it all down. As military, we always stay at the military Disney resort and get our tickets with military discounts (which turn out to be like half of what the sell for!) and pretty much know how we're going to spend our money and make the most out of our trip. DH's family found this package with staying at a off site house and it's grouped with tickets to the parks. I tried to explain to my SIL that whereas for hotel/house accommodations it would be cheaper if we all shared a house, overall it's not the better deal. The package has tickets for over $300! When we went last year, park hopper for military was like $165. I guess she took it the wrong way because we got a phone call from my MIL. DH basically told them they can do whatever they want as it's everyone's vacation, but he didn't want to share a house with them. DH likes his privacy and all of the adults on his side of the family smoke...we want our kids away from smoke and my sister has asthma and can't handle it. I'm trying to be nice and understanding and tell them they can do what they feels best and they don't have to stay where we do, but everyone on DH's side is taking as I'm trying to control the situation. This is such a pain. Remind me to never do this again.
