[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never leave a 15 year old and 12 year girls alone in a hotel in this day and age. I agree with your DW -- this is crazy.

Also, I would be really concerned with the family dynamic of spending a vacation away from one sibling as a "treat" for the other siblings. Sort of cruel and not the attitude I would want to foster in the two older kids, especially since this is a vacation to DisneyWorld of all places. It would be different if it were a destination too mature for him but appropriate for his older sibs.

My two cents.[/quote]
It doesn't have to be presented as a trip to Disney World. The father is attending a seminar at a Disney property, not spending three days in the theme parks. The girls will be using the hotel facilities.

Why shouldn't a parent be able to do something special once in a while on an individual basis?

How's it special to leave his kids alone in a hotel room watching cable all day? If OP wants to have a special trip with his girls, he should go on one where is actually available to spend time with them.[/quote]
