Im a Senior in Highschool who is unemployed(will be looking for a job soon) looking for ways (besides becoming an au pair) to go on a vacation to Paris, France. So far i have at least 500 but i need 1500 more. Do you have any ideas or money saving websites that could help?

Do you think it would be cheaper just to stay at Disneyland in Paris than a regular hotel?

The airfare in June alone would cost you nearly $1000+.
If you have a part time job, save every penny and nickel.
I think you can scrap by in Paris for a week with the other $1000, sleeping in hostels and eating cheap food. You can try to hook up people who will give you free place to crash at http://www.couchsurfing.com
Can you try to get a loan from your parents or relatives as your
graduation present? I would advise against you getting a loan from commercial lenders or even credit cards...
Good luck!

try exchange. You go there, someone from France goes to your parents'. You'll have to pay only for tickets, free food and lodgings, you study French, your exchange - English, everyone is happy...
Or you may consider living in the surbubs and visiting Paris by REF. It's a system of train/metro which connects Paris and Il de France/Osie. Many people travel every day to work like this, and you'll have cheaper accomodations.
Or you may rent a private place instead of hotel, a little studio with a stove and cook your own food, buyng everything at Monoprix - that's a supermarket.

you could try and invest in something but i don't think that would work you could maybe ask for a lone if this is an educational trip they might give it to you if you put a way 5 dollars a day you could have 1825 dollars in 1 year then you would have some tiny amount of money to spend in Paris if you are willing to wait a year
