Man Cries Out As His Sister Wants To Sabotage His Disney Engagement Trip

Every fairytale begins with a little magic. A moment that feels chosen, intentional, and meant to be remembered forever.

For OP's girlfriend, that magic has always been Disney—the stories, the nostalgia, the feeling that happiness can be simple and bright. When the OP started planning how to propose, Disneyland Paris felt like the perfect place to start their next chapter together.

It would be both their first times there, and the trip was meant to be just for them. That plan was where the magic ends and the reality begins.

OP's sister knows about the proposal because she helped her pick out the ring. At first, she was excited and supportive, until she found out where the OP was planning to propose.

She immediately disapproved, saying that Disneyland is “for kids,” that they are “too old” to go without children. She was of the opinion that if the OP wanted to visit somewhere like that, she should be taking her kids instead.

Yes, the OP loves her niece and nephew, but this trip was never intended to be a family holiday—it’s meant to be a romantic milestone for her and her partner. Things became more uncomfortable when OP visited her sister and discovered she had already told her kids about the Disney trip.

Proposing at Disney is a great concept that the OP has thought of because it will be very meaningful to her girlfriend. Redditors agree that it is neither strange nor childish.

Doing what's unique for the other person is all that matters in a proposal. More comments to check out below.

Shame on OP's sister for trying to force her kids on her

OP's sister needs to chill out

Reddit

Disney is for everyone and not just kids

What was meant to be a moment of magic now feels like a test of boundaries. Instead of picturing a proposal, the OP is worrying about guilt, pressure, and disappointed expectations that were never his to create.

It's clear the OP doesn’t want this story to end with resentment or a memory overshadowed by compromise. He wants their beginning to be intentional, joyful, and theirs alone.

Redditors understood that, and in the end, the OP was declared not the AH.
