How I Survived 11 Days at WDW with a Disney-Resistant Husband **2/20 THE END ** - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

SGMCO · 05-23-2010, 08:38 AM

My DH doesn't like to switch resorts (split stays) once we check in we
stay at the same resort the whole trip (8 nights). I see in your intro you stayed at 3 different Deluxes in 11 days and thought that might be a reason he was not happy.
I know my DH wouldn't have been (he likes to relax on vacation and packing up and moving is not relaxing).
Just a thought.

Well, this sounds similar to my situation, so I'm in!

I've dragged my DH to Disney 3 times in the past 3 years and am planning our 4th trip (2nd this year) for November, and I've been told by him that's IT for the next 2 years!!!!

He likes Disney, but he is nowhere near my level, you might say I'm a little obsessed...

Look forward to reading your report!!!

Hi, Trish!! I'm here-- so glad you decided to do this and hope it is therapeutic for you!

BriesMomma · 05-23-2010, 10:08 AM

IT HAPPENS!! Mine is not a fan either. It really does make things tough!! No vacation goes without its stressful moments, though. We've all been there! Looking forward to reading your report.

I'm ready to read your TR!! My DH will NOT have anything to do with the planning but once he's there, he's a lover of the Mouse!

I always complain about him not wanting to help with the planning! I can't wait to read more!

BippityBoo · 05-23-2010, 10:45 AM

I'm here

So excited to hear about your trip. Your intro was beautifully written.

kschafer · 05-23-2010, 11:21 AM

Trish, I'm so glad you decided to write a TR. I too jealously read of other Disers with Disney loving spouses. During my trip, we struck up a conversation with another family on a bus and when we told them our kids were home with the Dads, the father of this other group had a shocked look on his face and said that would never happen!

Can't wait to hear you recount the fun times!

Subbing in

Given my DH's response to all my pre-trip planning and research, I think I need to prepare myself...

This looks like a good one. Sign me up!

Your children are beautiful, by the way.

Add me to the list of I love Disney and my husband just goes to make me happy. He does love the food and the tours when we get there. So when planning I let him have pick the restaurants and try adding a different tour to each trip. Our next trip we are trying the Segway tour at Fort Wilderness.
