Money Moral Dilemma: Should my ex-girlfriend come on the holiday we planned together?

If the kids are actually going to be deprived because they can't go to Disneyland then they're spoilt brats.
I had a single holiday growing up (a camping holiday with one tent for the whole family...). While I would have loved a fancy theme park break, it taught me that you can't always get what you want, I should be grateful for what I get and that millions of other children have a much harder life. Even within the UK there are lots of children who don't get a hot dinner everyday - if this is your idea of deprivation then you need a reality check!0 -
Who's to say she actually wants to go0

It says quite clearly that HE paid for the whole trip.
1. He won't be able to sell or reassign the tickets as they will be non refundable. So if she does not come this money will be wasted.
2. He can let her come anyway with a clear understanding of the rules of engagement.
3. If she still wants to come he can ask her if she is prepared (or able) to pay her share.
I can't imagine she would pay him NOT to go on the trip with him.
You can reassign them. Normally there'll be a £30 fee to change the name on booking of flight & hotel. Ive done it myself.0 -
From your post it sounds as if you have paid for everyone. I think it could be quite awkward and uncomfortable for all of you if you go together, and if she split up with you I doubt she would want to go anyway. Have you a good friend with children who could go with you instead, and maybe contribute towards the cost? I am sure you can change your booking, even if you have to pay a small amount to do so, otherwise take your own children and have a great time.0
