Does Disneyland sell food wristbands?

I'm not quite sure how to raise enough money to go to disneyland!?

• i'm going into eigth grade next year. and this year we're going pretty much everywhere. all the amusement parks like six flags, disneyland, knott's berry farm with the show choir. then all together we're going to washington d.c. and six flags again. i completely doubt that i will be agle to go to all of them, because my family has kinda run out of money....i don't want to ask my parents to pay or anything, i mean it would feel wrong...even if i can't go to almost all, i at least want to go to disneyland. disneyland is a special place for me and i miss it and i just gotta go back. so far i got $30 of my own (that was just going around my room looking for coins XD). a ticket into disneyland is about $80, not to mention food and such. i can get a meal for $15 and that's all i really need. i woulld like to get some sort of souvenier so i can have disneyland with me always, but if that's not possible, then so be it. so, all together i need to get $65 in order to go. i have been thinking of selling my art. but i'm not quite sure how. i don't think my parents will be all open to letting me sell stuff online...oh, and setting up a booth at school is out of the question. i mean, you can make a LOT of money doing that!...but the only way the school wants you to is if you donate it to a charity, which i completely understand.... but please, help! i know i sound kinda selfish wanting to raise money to go to disneyland when there's so much worse things going on in the world, but you have to understand how much i love disneyland and this trip is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. we would get to go backstage at disneyland and perform and that would be a complete dream come true, so please help me. thank you <3

• Answer:

  Well, I think this is wonderful. I deeply wish you the best of luck. I can't say for sure what the best way to raise funds are, but I think it shouldn't be impossible to raise $100 in a few weeks. I would go to neighbors asking if they need lawns mowed or any other odd jobs-- these sorts of jobs tend to pay surprisingly well, I think at least $20 per lawn (probably more if you preface if with your reason for needing the money) and various amounts for other jobs. You're also old enough that some places might give you more of an "actual" job, or at least something close to it. Ask your parents to take you to some local places and see if they need part-time employees, or any other sort of temporary job they can give you. A paper route is another classic option, although that's not exactly fast cash. Regarding selling art, I'm not sure what type of art this is, but etsy.com is a site set up for this exact purpose. Show your parents around the site to ensure them that you're not doing anything dangerous, set up a page, and get selling. Once again, include your story: people will be much more likely to buy from you if they have some idea who you are and where this money is going. I know I don't have a lot of fresh ideas, but I really hope this helps and I hope you make it to Disneyland! And, if you end up setting up shop at etsy, let me know, and I'll do my best to show it around the corners of the Internet that I frequent. Again, good luck!
