How I Survived 11 Days at WDW with a Disney-Resistant Husband **2/20 THE END **

[kate_wdw]

Subbing. I'm really looking forward to reading your trip report!

[kamik86]

This makes me glad that although my DH isn't nearly into planning as me (He wants to just go and be able to say "So what are we doing today") he still wants to go almost as much as I do!!!

[snoopypharmd]

Ready to read!!

[JoShan1719]

Subbing. Can't wait to hear about your trip!

[Jake & Crew]

Jumping on the party train! If your DH is not an enthusiastic Disney Fan thought you could always have another cheerleader subscribe to share in your TR

[SunnieRN]

After reading your title and entry, the old spaghetti western music is going through my head. Wa wa wah wah wah wah waaaahhh wahhhhhh. lol

I have a disney "resister" also!!

[mkluvsmickey]

I'm so glad you are doing a report from your trip, you know I can relate.

[cdotla]

First off, so sorry I haven't gotten too far yet on this Report. My plan was to accomplish 2 or 3 updates over the weekend, but a busy long weekend and super hot, sunny weather interferred. I hope to correct that in the next day or so!

Thanks for joining me!

Those doll Mickey ears can only be purchased with the My Disney Girl Doll that you can buy in the parks (and likely online too). Unfortunately I have not been able to find just the ears alone. You have to buy the doll too.:sad2

You know, DH and I were talking about just that very thing! What he doesn't enjoy are crowds and lines. What he likes is relaxing and sun. So I think a Disney cruise just might be a perfect compromise for us!

Great minds think alike! Thanks for joining!

Yeah....I guess if you can handle marathon running, this will be a piece of cake!

Sounds like we can definitely comiserate with one another! Good luck in your planning...from my experience, the combination of a Disney resister and extended family does not bode well for magical vacation!

Are you sure you can't change your trip to a vacation with just you and the kids?

Thanks Michelle....hope to get this rolling shortly!

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.

Actually, the resorts were the one thing that DH loved about the trip!

Although it sounds bad (3 resorts in 11 days), it was just our 1st and last nites that we stayed in different reports, and travelled with an overnite bag each time. The rest of the luggage stayed at bell services. So it wasn't too bad afterall.

I wish there was an explanation as to why DH didn't fall in love with WDW so that I could correct it on the next trip. But sadly, I think it is just that he is "...just not that into" the parks.

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...

Sounds like we have a lot in common! Thanks for tuning in!

Thanks! It has already been so great to see that I am not alone on this!

Thanks for joining! Look forward to chatting with you!

Then I think you have the perfect scenario! You have full say on the planning, and he follows along happily once you arrive! Hold onto that one!!!

Thanks Katie! Glad that you are here!

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!

So glad we are not alone on this Katie!

Too funny about the Dad on the bus!

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

Yes, be prepared. But, hopefully you will be fortunate enough to have a husband who gets bitten hard by the Disney bug once he arrives. Fortunately, I still think people like me are in the minority.

Your children are beautiful, by the way.

Thank you! Glad to have you along!

Yep...you helped prompt me along in deciding to carry on as planned with the good, the bad and the ugly!

Trish, your children are beautiful!!

We cannot go back to WDW until I finsh my RN....which will be in 2011....so I have to wait

Thanks for joining!!! Good luck with the RN...you will really have reason to Celebrate on your next trip!

Sounds like a great compromise! I wouldn't need to be arm-twisted into enjoying great meals and segways!

Glad that you have joined me!

Hmmmm....I am not familiar with that one. I will have to look that up!

Wow...there seem to be more of us with Disney-resistant husbands that I would have thought. Maybe this will be more of a support group!

Yes, Michelle. Sadly, I think we are in the same category on this one! At least our children so far are taking after their mothers!
